I am also researching the Norton family of Lancaster Co., PA. My ancestor was David (1777-1849), married a Margaret. Had the following children (to my knowledge): Agnes, Isabella, Mary (my ancestor), George, a daughter, Nathaniel, Maria, Ammon, and David. Mary married Benjamin Keenan at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Lancaster (Boro). They named a son David N. They had an older son, James, who had a son Harry N, who had a son Harry N Jr. So the Norton name has been carried on for awhile. I have David's (h/o Margaret) father as Joseph as well. Looking for any info past Joseph. I've read that the name is Irish, so I'm hoping to research at least back to Ireland.
