 PREFACE. 
 
 The first Norris of whom we have a record as coming to America 
 is one John Norris who, at the age of 18, emigrated, in 1035, 
 "to the Barmoodes or Somer Islands, imbarqued in the Truelovo 
 de London. " The fact that he had as fellow passengers on this 
 voyage at least three young men who found their way to New 
 England as early as 1643 suggests that he may have gone there 
 with them, and have been the "Mr. John Norris" with whose 
 conveyances of "400 acors of land and of the 242 acors of the 
 4000 acors graunted to Roxbury" the General Court of Election, 
 held at Boston, the 23d of the 3 mo. 1655,* expressed itself as 
 "being satisfyed. " 
 
 Mr. Leonard A. Morrison, author of "The Norris Family of 
 America," says the tradition in regard to the origin of Nicholas 
 Norris is that "he was of England extraction, being a descendant 
 of one of the English settlers in Ireland, where he was born," and 
 "that he was a stowaway in an immigrant ship and arrived in 
 America when fourteen years of age." 
 
 Inasmuch as Nicholas Norris named his oldest daughter, Sarah, 
 after his wife, and his second oldest son, Moses, after his father- 
 in-law, it is more than probable that his oldest son, John, was 
 named after his own father, which — no record having been found 
 
 * The only other Norrises known to have been in America at this time 
 were the Rev. Edward Xorrice (1), his son Edward (2) and, according to 
 Savage, the latter's sister Mary who united with the Church of Roxbury in 
 1639 or 1040. Edward Norrice (1) was bom in England in 1579 and in 1640 
 was a resident of Salem, Mass., at which time he had wife, Eleanor. His son, 
 Edward (2), was born in 1615 and married Dorothy Johnson by whom he had 
 a daughter Elizabeth and a son Edward (3), bapt. Oct. IS, 1657. The fact 
 that the above "Mr. John Norris" owned land granted to Roxbury indicates 
 that he and Mary Xorrice of Roxbury might have been memters of the same 
 family, but inasmuch as this John was doubtless over twenty-one in 1655 
 it is improbable that he Avas the son of Edward (2), and as neither he nor 
 Mary are mentioned in the will of Edward (1), drawn 1657 and proved 1660, 
 I am led to conclude that, provided they did not die l^efore Edward (1), they 
 must have belonged to a different family, in which event they may have been 
 husband and wife. 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 of Nicholas' coming to America — makes it possible that Nicholas' 
 father and the first above John were one and the same person. 
 
 The progenitor of the Norris family appears to have been one 
 "Alain Norreys, " who was settled at Sutton, England, long be- 
 fore the time of Henry III. His descendant, William Norreys of 
 Sutton, was the ancestor of Sir Henry Norreys who acquired in 
 1311, by marriage with Joan, daughter of Sir Henry IMolyneux, 
 the Manor of Speke, in Lancashire. This Sir Henry Norreys had 
 a descendant, Thomas Norreys of Speke, whose son, Nicholas Nor- 
 reys, Esq., of Tarleton, was father of Nicholas Norreys of Tarleton 
 whose son Nicholas Norre3's of the same place was father of Nicho- 
 las Norreys of Middleworth, whose son, Nicholas Norreys of Mid- 
 dleworth was father of Henry Norris who, it is thought, may 
 have been no very distant relative of the Nicholas Norris with 
 whom this history commences. 
 
 My excuse for introducing this data is that some one may wish 
 to extend the line to the immigrant's mother country, in which 
 event the above information will not come amiss. I doubt, how- 
 ever, if any amount of searching would produce a better man to 
 head the descent than our Nicholas of Hampton, N. H., of whom 
 enough is known to warrant the statement that he was consider- 
 ably above mediocrity. As son-in-law of Selectman Moses Coxe, 
 and father-in-law of Ruth Folsom — granddaughter of Selectman 
 John Folsom, Judge Henry Robey and Mary Oilman, a member 
 of that family whom Bell's " History of Exeter" states "stood at. 
 the head of everything that constitutes respectability" — Nicholas 
 Norris was related to many of the most prominent families of the 
 communit}', and with them did what he could toward the devel- 
 opment of the youthful colony in which he settled. That his de- 
 scendants have always been proud of the surname is evidenced by 
 the frequencj' with which it appears among the posterity of the 
 daughters of the family, either as a first or middle name, and it 
 is hoped that the present possessors will transmit it as untarnished 
 as they received it. 
 
 "A good name," says the Bible, "is rather to be chosen than 
 great riches. " An inheritance of money may be lost and regained, 
 but an inheritance of character once lost can never be regained. 
 To come of a family which for generations has held the respect of 
 its fellow men, to know that one's father, grandfather, and great- 
 grandfather, and his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather

 before him, were generous-hearted, hiw-abidiug, country-loving 
 citizens who stood for right for right's sake, and accepted tlie Ijuf- 
 fets and rewards of hfe with equal fortitude — this is a birthright 
 worth having. Education, association and observation, fre- 
 quently enable one to rise above the environment in which one is 
 born, but such desirable traits as are cultivated in this way rarely 
 extend below the surface. A brass watch case can be made to 
 resemble gold but the interior remains unchanged. Breed is 
 stronger than pastures, and if we would have "nice" children, we 
 must see to it that we are nice ourselves. 
 
 Of the many persons who have been kind enough to assist me 
 by furnishing information of themselves or others, special thanks 
 are due to Miss Amy Trefren (221), to whom I am indebted for 
 the entire record of the descendants of Josiah Norris (14); to 
 Mrs. Charles Henrotin (163) and her sister Mrs. A. Belcham Keyes 
 (168), for the record of the descendants of Captain William Norris 
 (41); to Mrs. James R. King (179) and Mrs. Hall L. Davis (183), 
 for most of the Perry history; to Mr. John E. Lougee (138) and 
 Mr. Richard G. Dearborn (195), for many miscellaneous facts of 
 importance, as well as to Mrs. Lucinda L. Dyer, Mrs. Elizabeth P. 
 Littlefield and Mrs. George A. Mills, whose knowledge of the early 
 Limerick families enabled me to get in touch with many of the 
 persons just mentioned. 
 
 The desire to ascertain more of my ancestry was created by the 
 mortification I experienced about three years ago in having to 
 acknowledge to a friend that I knew nothing of my father's par- 
 entage beyond the fact that his mother's maiden name was Olive 
 Hill, and with this desire came a determination to enlighten my- 
 self in order that my son might be spared a similar embarrassment. 
 A letter to one of my father's old friends brought the information 
 that "he was born in Limerick, I think," and that his mother 
 "came into the Congregational Church in early life." The min- 
 ister of the Congregational church at Limerick conveyed a letter 
 to Mrs. Dyer whom I presume he knew was descended from the 
 early Hills of Limerick. She told me that my father was the son 
 of Capt. Ezra Norris of Limerick, and gave me the address of 
 Mr. Trefren, whose mother, she said, was of the same family. 
 From Mr. Trefren I learned that his mother was the daughter of 
 Josiah Norris who was born in Exeter in 1773 and "had brothers 
 who lived in Limerick." From another source I learned that 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 " Josiah had a sister who married Robert Cole of Limerick, " whose 
 " only descendant is a grandson, Richard Dearborn, hving in Cum- 
 berland Mills, Me." From him I learned that his grandmother 
 was Lydia Norris and that "she was born in Rochester, N. H., 
 in 1789." Someone else told me that "one of Ezra Norris' sisters 
 married a Sanborn." One of my letters to the various Sanborns 
 of New England was handed to Mr. Lougee, of Parsonsfield, who 
 advised me that his maternal grandmother was Sarah Norris, 
 "daughter of Jonathan Norris of Limerick," and that "she had a 
 brother Josiah, a brother William, who was a sea captain, and a 
 brother Ezra," besides "one sister who married Robert Cole." 
 This reduced the problem to finding a Jonathan Norris who had 
 a son Josiah, born in Exeter in 1773, and a daughter Lydia, born 
 in Rochester in 1789, and was himself later of Limerick. 
 
 It sounds very easy, but the acquiring of these facts consumed 
 a full year, as hardly one letter out of fifty brought a new clue, 
 and even then the work was but just commenced. The loss by 
 fire of the Limerick Church Records and that by theft of the first 
 volume of the Town Records was a serious handicap, but a per- 
 sonal trip through the States of Maine and New Hampshire en- 
 abled me to gather sufficient data to start an expert genealogist 
 on the work of extending the line backward while I occupied my- 
 self on the collateral branches. That mistakes will appear goes 
 without saying, but it is thought that most of those which are 
 found will be in the records of the descendants, rather than of the 
 ancestry, of the children of Lieut. Jonathan Norris, as the latter 
 were compiled mainly from town, county and state records, while 
 the former were obtained largely from the descendants themselves, 
 some of whom probably had to depend on their memory for many 
 of the dates of births, marriages, deaths, etc. 
 
 In conclusion, I would suggest that the present generation ex- 
 ercise greater judgment in naming their children. The ordinary 
 Christian names of John, James, William, etc., furnish no clue what- 
 ever to one's antecedents, while the surname of one's mother or 
 grandmother, used as a first or middle name, is always a help to 
 identification. I would also call attention to the importance of 
 including in all wills, deeds, and other public documents, sufficient 
 descriptive matter to indicate the parentage and place of residence 
 of everyone named. 
 
 Hoping that this history will meet the reasonable expectation 
 
PREKACi:. 
 
 of all who have assisted in its compilation, and that its perusal by 
 each succeeding generation will act as an incentive not only to 
 make themselves worthy of their forefathers, hut to excel them 
 according to the opportunities afforded by advancing civilization, 
 it is committed to them with the injunction that henceforth each 
 family maintain a careful record of everything that is likely to 
 prove of interest to the future historian.

 PUBLISHERS' NOTE 
 
 The Publishers call attention to the unusual use of numbers 
 in this genealogy. In practically all indices the numbers refer to 
 pages of the book. This often necessitates the reading of a whole 
 page to find the desired item, and if the examination is hastily 
 made, a second or even a third reading may be required. In con- 
 sulting printed genealogies in connection with this work, Mr. 
 Norris experienced this annoyance and loss of time, and the 
 present system was devised by him to minimize this difficulty. 
 
 The numbers in the index refer to sections in which the names 
 indexed are treated, these sections being consecutively numbered 
 from the beginning of the book. The pages of the book are not 
 numbered, the numerals at the top of each page simply indicat- 
 ing the sections found on that page. In the third section of 
 this book we find the following: "3. SERGEANT JONATHAN 
 NORRIS {Moses 2, Nicholas 1)." Here the names in italics show 
 the ancestors, but the number following each name is not a gen- 
 eration number, but a reference to the section in which that ances- 
 tor is treated. Again, in the fifth section we find: "5. Josiah 
 (14)." Here Josiah appears in proper order among his father's 
 children. The number after the name indicates that in section 
 14 Josiah is treated in detail as the head of a family. Such is 
 the system which for purposes of convenient reference is one of 
 the simplest ever devised.

ANCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 LIEUTENDENT JONATIIAiV AND TAiAlESIN 
 (BARKER) NORRIS 
 
 OF MAINE 
 
 1. NICHOLAS NORRIS is thought to have been born about 
 1640, but whether in this country or elsewhere is unknown, as the 
 earUest record thus far found of him is dated "ye 11th. mo. 21st. 
 day, 1663" (Jan. 21, 1664) at which time he married Sarah, dau. 
 of Moses and Alice Coxe of Hampton, N. H. On Sept. 29, 1666, 
 he deeded away his "house lott, three acres more or less, with my 
 dwelling-house being and standing upon ye same," together with 
 six acres of "planting land in ye north field," and removed to 
 Exeter, N. H., where in the following year he took the oath of 
 allegiance. In 1676 he served as a soldier in King Philip's war. 
 In 1681, 100 acres of land were laid out to him by the town of 
 Exeter. In 1690 he desired the jurisdiction of Massachusetts. 
 Aug. 3 to Aug. 31, 1696, he was a soldier in garrison under Kins- 
 ley Hall. In 1698 he was granted 3 acres; in 1705, 20 acres; and 
 in 1720-21, 10 acres, the last on the '^ north side of a masteway 
 leading from Col. Hilton's to Pawtuckawaye Mills." His house 
 stood near Meeting-house hill in Exeter Village. In 1725 he was 
 granted 30 additional acres which is the last reference to him 
 found upon any record. It is probable that he died soon after 
 this date. Of his nine children, Sarah, Sarah, John, Moses, Jon- 
 athan, Abigail, Sarah, James and Elizabeth, only one other be- 
 sides the following is known to have left descendants. 
 
 2. MOSES NORRIS (Nicholas 1) was born at Exeter, N. H., 
 Aug. 14, 1670, where he married, March 4, 1692, Ruth, dau. of Sam- 
 uel and Mary (Roby) Folsom of Exeter. Her maternal grand-

 father, Henry Roby,* whose wife was Ruth , was b. at Cas- 
 tle Dunnington, Eng., Feb. 12, 1G18-19, and came to Am. in 1639, 
 while her paternal grandfather, John (son of Adam) Folsom, 
 who mar. Mary, dau. of Edward and Mary (Clark) Gilman of 
 Exeter, was b. at Hingham, Eng., in 1617, and came to Am. in 
 1638. 
 
 Moses Norris served as a soldier from Aug. 31 to Sept. 28, 1696. 
 Feb. 3, 1698, 30 acres were laid out to him by the town of Exeter. 
 April 9, 1698 he received from his father 16 acres "on the road to 
 Hampton Farms" and on the same date was deeded land by his 
 father-in-law, Samuel Folsom. In 1706 the town made him a 
 second grant of 50 acres. Feb. 2, 1720-21, "for fatherly love 
 and affection" he deeded land to his children, Samuel, John, 
 Moses, Nicholas, Joseph, Jonathan, James and Ruth, they to 
 come into possession "after ye decease of me and my present 
 wife, Ruth Norris." The last record of him appears in 1725 
 when the town granted him 60 additional acres. 
 
 3. SERGEANT JONATHAN NORRIS (Moses 2, Nicholas 1) 
 w'as born at Exeter, N. H., in 1699 or 1700. He married, before 
 Feb. 23, 1738, Sarah, bapt. Jan. 1, 1716, dau. of Benjamin, b. 
 1666, and Sarah (Partridge) Cram of Hampton, N. H. Her grand- 
 father, Benjamin Cram, who was b. abt. 1635 and mar. Nov. 28, 
 1662, Argentine, dau. of Giles and Alice Cromwell of Newbury, 
 Mass., 1637, was son of John, b. 1607, and Lydia (Swain?) Cram 
 of Boston, 1637, and the grandson of Burkart and Barbuary Cram 
 of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Eng. Her maternal grandfather, John 
 Partridge of Portsmouth, N. H., was b. abt. 1639 and married 
 Dec. 11, 1660, Mary, b. 1634, dau. of Capt. Reginaldf and Joanna 
 
 * Henry Roby was a signer of the combination, a selectman, a member of 
 the council, and for many years a Judge of the Court of Sessions before which 
 the Rev. Joshua Moody was tried in 1684 for refusing to administer to Gov- 
 ernor Cranfield the Lord's Supper in the form set forth in the book of common 
 prayer. He was also a standing juror in the trials of Mason against Richard 
 Waldon and sundry other persons in New Hampshire for holding lands which 
 he claimed as proprietor of the province. 
 
 t Reginald Fernald, b. Bristol, Eng., 1003, was a surgeon in the English 
 Navy. He came to Kittery with the company of Captain Mason and Sir Fer- 
 dinando Gorges in 1630 but soon after removed to Portsmouth where he be- 
 came one of the leading men of the colony. He is said to have been the first 
 " Physician and Surgeon" among the New Hampshire settlers. He was town

 several acres of land and a portion of a sawmill at Pctuckaway, 
 now West Epping, N. H., which he sold, June 10, 1741, to hi.s 
 brotlier James. In 1745 he .served as a soldier in the siege of 
 Louisburg, Cape Breton Island, and in 1755 as Sergeant under 
 General William Johnson in the expedition against Crown Point. 
 His home was at Exeter where he owned large tracts of land, 
 conducted a sawmill and gristmill, and dealt extensively in real 
 estate. He died between March 19, 1768, when his will was 
 drawn, and Dec. 27, 1769, when it was proved. In it he names 
 children: Rachel, Joseph Partridge, Jonathan, Sarah, Benjamin, 
 James and Samuel. 
 
 4. LIEUTENANT JONATHAN NORRIS (Jonathan 3, Moses 
 2, Nicholas 1) was born at Exeter, N. H., Sept. 11, 1749. He

 (Hurd) Barker of Exeter. She was b. in 1755, as she was 
 "of 45 and upwards" on Dec. 31, 1800, and "Died March 13,

 a selectman and surveyor, and the owner of Fernald's Island in the Piscotaque 
 river, consisting of 230 acres, which remained in the family until 1S06 when 
 it was conveyed to the Government for a navy yard. 
 
 * Noah Barker is said by the town clerk of Stratham to have held "about 
 all the offices of trust that the people of those days could give him." He says 
 further that "the family of Barker is now, and always have been, prominent 
 in Stratham." 
 
 t Maximilian Jewett b. 1G07, d. 1684, came to Am. with Rev. Ezekiel Rogers

 Mr Norris was executor of his father's will by which he received 
 one-half of his real estate and one-half of his sawmill and grist- 
 mill. He resided at Exeter, where, on May 3, 1774, he was ap- 
 pointed guardian for his minor brothers, Samuel and James.

 than Norri.s of Exeter." Feb. 20, 17S4, "Jonathan Norace of 
 Wakefield" bouf:;ht huul at Norway Plain in Hoclicster, N. H. 
 Jan. 23, 1790, "Jonathan Norri.s of Roche.ster, Gentleman, and 
 Tamesin, wife," sold land in Rochester and on the same date 
 bought land in Lebanon, Me., where he lived until ai)out May, 
 1792, when he removed to Franci.sborough, now ('ornish, Me. 
 Jan. 7, 1793, "Jonathan Norris of Francisborough " bought a 
 sawmill and dam and 20 acres of land in Limington, Me., a half 
 interest in which he sold, Aug. 17, 1798, to Ebenezcr Peabody of 
 Gorham. Aug. 7, 1800, "Jonathan Norris of Limington" was 
 drawn " Petti Juryman to the Court of Common Pleas to be holden 
 at Waterborough the fourth Tuesday of August," soon after which 
 he removed to the neighboring town of Limerick where he lived 
 on a 100-acre farm bought of Benjamin Staples. December, 
 1812, "Mr. Jonathan Norris of this place," (Limerick) registered 
 his intentions to marry "Mrs. Joanna Lougee of Parsonsfield," 
 certificate for which was "granted 1813." She was the widow 
 of Deacon Gilman Lougee of Parsonsfield, to which town Jona- 
 than Norris removed before 1820 and where he "Died March 16, 
 1826, Aged 76." His widow, who was formerly Joanna Smith 
 of Brentwood, N. H., died about 1831. He is described as having 
 been "a little small man with lots of life in him," and as having 
 been possessed "of a good education," "much inate brightness" 
 and "a fondness for all kinds of sports." One of his sons is said 
 to have been 6 ft. 7 in. in height.

 * I had practically abandoned the search for the descendants of this 
 branch of the family when one evening while calling in Chicago I had the 
 pleasure of meeting Mrs. Keyes (231). During the course of conversation 
 our hostess enquired if I was any relation to the Maine Norrises. Upon re- 
 ceiving an affirmative reply she said: "Mrs. Keyes' mother was a Norris 
 and came from Maine." "You are not descended from Capt. AVilliam Norris 
 of Portland" I asked. "Yes," Mrs. Keyes answered, "he was my grand- 
 father." It is needless to state the subject of our subsequent conversation.

 John Hurd Norris was educated at the PhiUips Limerick 
 Academy. After a course of study in the law office of Robert P). 
 Coverly, Esq., he was, on the 22d of April, 1844, admitted to 
 practice as an attorney; soon after which date he removed to 
 Hampden, Me., and thence to Newport, Me., where he lived until 
 ill-health induced him, in 1850, to abandon law and enter into 
 partnership with ]\Iark Fisher of Trenton, N. J., for the manufac- 
 ture of railroad supplies together with the well-known " Eagle 
 Anvil" which is still made under the firm name of " Fisher & 
 Norris." They are said to have furnished all the anvils used by 
 the Union Army during the war. 
 
 "He impressed me," says my cousin, Rufus W. Bunnell of 
 Stratford, Conn., "as a gentleman of great integrity, of a lovable 
 disposition, a truly noble man with a Scotch decision of character: 
 in short, a person one could always know meant exactly what he 
 said, and although not strictly to be measured by the standard of 
 church attendance, a good man, honorable and true in all things, 
 desiring to be met in the same spirit," He had a "fine mind" 
 and was "a lover of good books and conversation. 1 well remem-

 ber his reading aloud to me some of the best poems of Burns 
 and his keen enjoyment on reciting others." He "was a man of 
 active, progressive character that led him — although genial in 
 his manners — to be prompt, quick, and therefore naturally ex- 
 acting in the management of his business, but as far as I could 
 see he got on exceedingly well with his workmen, who always 
 considered him a whole-souled employer. I found him so ready 
 to look into new ways of doing things that I have no doubt were 
 he now living, he would be fully abreast of what has since come 
 about in the manufacturing world. I, as his architect in the 
 building of his house, noticed his constant questionings as to the 
 very best methods of construction." 
 
 His residence, which he built on the banks of the Delaware in 
 1869, is one of the handsomest in Trenton, with its four acres of 
 well-kept grounds, set off by numerous flower beds, sparkling 
 brooks and fine old trees some of which witnessed the defeat of 
 the Hessians in 1776, but his enjoyment of the place was of short 
 duration, as he died of pneumonia March 15, 1872, after returning 
 from a six months' visit in Colorado. Mr. Norris' widow married 
 at Trenton, July 18, 1878, as his second wife, George Sumner 
 Grosvenor, b. Nov. 25, 1831, son of David Rufus and Irana 
 Gallond (Goddard) Grosvenor of Trenton. He graduated from 
 Amherst College in the class of 1858, at whose Commencement 
 he delivered the Latin Salutatory address, and the following year 
 was appointed Principal of the Trenton Academy, which position 
 he held until 1873, when he took up the practice of law. Mr. 
 and Mrs. Grosvenor resided until about 1898 in the old Norris 
 homestead since which time they have visited nearly every coun- 
 try of the world. Although somewhat retiring in disposition

 As this Mr. Norris and his children are the only known descend-

 outside of family No. 239, it is regrettable that I cannot present 
 a more complete record of his family, particularly since it is such 
 a large one, but as he has replied to none of my letters my infor-

 gather from other sources. He resides at Bucksport, Me.

 tuna and Adble (Kinson) Ilcnrotin of I'ru.sscls, Bclj^iuin, where 
 he was b. April 15, IS-l!). His graiulpurents won^ Dr. ("loincnt 
 and Sophie (Rossion) Ilcnrotin of TcUion; and Francois and 
 Sophie (Brice) Kinson of Tourniii. Mr. ('harlcs Ilcnrotin came 
 to America witli iiis parents in IS4S. On completing his educa- 
 tion, which was commenced in Chicago and finished in Belgium, 
 he entered, in 18G0, the employ of The Merchants' Loan and 
 Trust Company Bank, Chicago, of wliicii he was made cashier in 
 1872. In 1876 he was appointed Consul for Bclgiuni :i\\<\ Tur- 
 key from which governments he was later the recipient for valu- 
 able service of six "Orders," and in 1891 he was appointed Con- 
 sul General for Turkey. He was one of the Founders of The 
 Chicago Stock Exchange — of which he was the first, second and 
 third President — and was largely interested in the erection of 
 the Chicago Opera House Building, as well as in the promotion 
 of the English and American S3'ndicates which took over the 
 Chicago Breweries and Union Stock Yards. At the World's 
 Columbian Exposition Mr. Henrotin was Chairman of the Com- 
 mittee on Ceremonies and Dean of the Consular Corps. He also 
 served as one of its directors, in which capacity he is connected 
 with many literary and benevolent associations. He is a mem- 
 ber of the Chicago Club, Bankers' Club, New York and Chicago 
 Stock Exchanges, and of the Chicago Board of Trade. He has 
 been engaged since 1877 in the General Brokerage business and 
 was recently appointed Receiver of the Chicago Electric Traction 
 Company. 
 
 Mrs. Henrotin is equally prominent, being a woman of unusual 
 attainment. Her services during the Columbian Exposition, 
 as Juror for Belgium and as Mce-President of the women's l)ranch 
 of the World's Congress Auxiliaries of which she became acting 
 President, were recognized by the Queen of Belgium with a 
 specially engraved, signed etching, and by the vSultan of Turkey 
 with the Order of The Chafkat — the highest grade given to for- 
 eign women. From 1894 to 1898, she was twice President of the 
 General Federation of Women's Clubs, and in 1900 rendered 
 valuable aid in establishing in Chicago the first Juvenile Court, of 
 which she is still an enthusiastic supporter. As President of the 
 Illinois branch of the Consumers League, Mrs. Henrotin is a power- 
 ful enemy to the sweat-shop and its attending evils. For her 
 services to France in connection with the Alliance Francaise 
 
225-228 GENEALOGY OF THE NORRIS FAMILY. 
 
 and other movements, in which her command of the French 
 language enabled her to be most useful, she was decorated by 
 the French Republic in 1899 with Les Palmes Academiques, 
 and in 1903 she was made Officier de I'lnstruction Publique; 
 while her knowledge of schools and school systems led to her 
 appointment by the Belgium Government as a member of the 
 International Jury on Education at the recent St. Louis Expo- 
 sition. Mrs. Henrotin is also an authority on all questions of 
 Labor and Domestic Science, as evidenced by her many papers 
 on these subjects, and as a speaker and polished parliamentarian, 
 few women surpass her. These accomplishments, combined with 
 social charm, a magnetic personality and an unusual amount of 
 tact, will cause her name to live as one of the women of the 
 twentieth century.

239 GENEALOGY OF THE NORKIS FAMILY. 
 
 Upon leaving school at Lawrenceville, N. J., Mr. Norris served 
 an apprenticeship with Bement, Miles & Co., machine tool build- 
 ers, Phila., Pa., after which he spent a year at draughting with 
 the Phoenix Iron Co., of Trenton, N. J., when he entered the 
 engineering course at Sibley College, Cornell University. From 
 1891 to 1894 he worked as draughtsman for the Ferracute Machine 
 Co., Bridgeton, N. J., the Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Co., Providence, 
 R. 1., and the Pond Machine Tool Co., Plainfield, N. J. From 
 1894 to 1896 he was superintendent and engineer of the Appleton 
 Mfg. Co., and the Riehle Bros. Testing Mach. Co., both of Phila- 
 delphia, Pa., when he became general manager of the Campbell 
 & Zell Co., of Baltimore, Md. In May, 1897, he removed to 
 Cincinnati, Ohio, where he is engineer, works manager, and part 
 owner of The Bickford Drill and Tool Co. Mr. Norris is a member 
 of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity, The New England Society, 
 The Ohio Society of Sons of the Revolution, The Ohio Society 
 of the Sons of Colonial Wars, the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal 
 Legion, the Franklin Institute, the American Society of Me- 
 chanical Engineers, the Engineers' Club of Philadelphia, as well 
 as of a number of Cincinnati clubs and other local associations. 
 He has been a rather frequent contributor to the various engi- 
 neering magazines, has taken out a number of patents and is 
 fond of all kinds of athletic sports. 
 
 His wife, to whom thanks are due from every one interested 
 in this history for her unselfishness in permitting the writer to 
 devote nearly a thousand evenings to its compilation, is remarka- 
 ble for her strength and energy, both physical and mental, but 
 her nobility of character is greater than either. She is bright, 
 high-minded, open-hearted, and guileless to a fault. It was said 
 of her by her grandmother, Mrs. Scull, that "she does not know 
 evil when she sees it." Although domestic in taste she is dex- 
 terous with the rifle, rod, racket, golf-club, bow and paddle; 
 excels at cards and dancing, and is an expert swimmer and skater. 
 She is large in stature, gracious in manner, cheerful in disposition, 
 even-tempered, unselfish, an indomitable worker and keeps well 
 informed in the affairs of the day. She is a member of the Cin- 
 cinnati Women's Club and of the Daughters of the American 
 Revolution. Mr. and Mrs. Norris resided until April, 1905, in 
 Cincinnati, when they removed to their present home at Glen- 
 dale, Ohio.

 of family .Vo. 201, this young man and the writer are the oidy 
 descendants of Lieut. Jonathan Norris who retain the surname 
 of Norris. .\s a child he is remarkable for his very logical turn 
 of niiiiil, quickness to act in an emergency, fertility in invention 
 and his straightforward, courageous disposition. He will Im; 
 eligible, at the age of twentj'-one, to membership in the Society 
 of the Sons oj the Revolution — through either Lieut. Jonathan 
 Norris whom his father used as a "claim," or Col. David Potter 
 whom his mother used in joining the Daughters of the American 
 Revolution; as well as through his ancestors, Major Edward Hall 
 of Salem, N. J., Capt. Israel Bunnell of Cheshire, Conn., and 
 Jeremiah Gillpatrick of Biddeford, Me; to the Sons oj the Colonial 
 Wars — through about twenty-five of his mother's ancestors in 
 addition to the fifty filed by his father; to the military order of 
 the Loyal Legion of the United States — through his great-uncle, 
 Lieut. Lsaac McCoy Bunnell of Trenton N. J., and to the Order 
 oj the Runnymedc to which he has the remarkable number of 
 eighteen claims, his descent from whom will be found in the 
 sixth edition of Browning's "Americans of Royal Descent," in 
 which is also given his descent from Charlemagne and many other 
 early kings.

 The records at Limerick contain the names of two Norrises I have 
 been unable to place. One, Nathaniel A'orris, certified " tliat on the 
 17th day of June, 1828, Mr. David Strout, Jr., of Liniington and Miss 
 Hannah Buttler of Limerick appeared before me and were lawfully 
 married." The other, William G. Norris, published, Nov. 2, 1834, his 
 intention to marry "Miss Sarah A. B. Harding of (lorham." So far as 
 I am able to interpret the Census Record of 1790, ISUO and 1810, Lieut. 
 Jonathan Norris had but nine children. The first gives him but one son 
 "over sixteen;" the second gives him "1 of 16 and under 26" and "2 
 under 10 yrs."; while the third gives him " 1 of 16 yrs. and under 26 yrs." 
 and "1 of 10 yrs. and under 16 yrs." Mr. Lougee (138) says: " .\bout 
 those two Norris men (Nathaniel and William G.) you speak of, I am 
 .sure they were the sons of Josiah Norris (14), as I have heard my mother 
 speak of them. Josiah lived at E. Parsonsfield when his son Mark (69) 
 was 15 years of age, and I think the older boys lived with his folks at 
 Limerick." If this information is correct it seems odd that their names 
 do not appear on the family record in possession of Mr. Trefron (219), 
 unless they were children by a former wife, but Mr. Munroe Wardwell, 
 one of Mark Norris' stepsons, says he is sure "Mark Norris was an only 
 son and had no half-brothers. Mark's father was married but once and 
 lived but a short distance from his son Mark," and he, Mr. Wardwell, 
 "used to be there as much as at his mother's." Mr. Wardwell's memory 
 has proved so accurate in other things that I am inchned to accept it 
 in this — but then the same can be said of Mr. Lougee.
