It's ironic, but my name is also B Norsworthy and I have a brother name John Norsworthy living in Anchorage. My grandfather's name was Will and he had a brother named Jack. My grandmother's name was Amis. The Norsworthy's have a monument at a Methodist church in Jasper Texas. The Norsworthy's also donated land $ to aid in the building of the Methodist Church in the Medical Center, Houston, Texas. This was an article in the Houston Chronicle a few years ago. I was give a copy of a letter dated 1959 with the following informaton: land was granted by King James I and dated 1610 to a Col Tristram Norsworthy. also check out excerpts from William and Mary College quarterly Volume VII July 1898 and April 1899
