Born by about 1610 based on estimated date of marriage. Carpenter & Innkeeper who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1629. First settled in Salem; moved to Gloucester in 1642, Wenham in 1645, & then back to Salem. Died between June 1659 (tavern license) and 22 September 1659 (inventory).
Married by about 1635 Mary ____; she was admitted to Salem church 4 September 1637. She married (2) Ipswich 27 February 1659[/60] PHILIP FOWLER {1635, Newbury} (with whom she defended her administration of George's estate, November Term 1665). (Seversmith dismisses the undocumented claim that she was Mary Machias; he also argues convincingly that the claim that Mary was sister of Bethia Cartwright of Salem derives from a misreading of the will of Bethia.)
In 1939 Herbert F. Seversmith compiled a sketch of the life and family of George Norton, along with an examination of Norton's possible English ancestry; Seversmith thought the derivation from the Nortons of Sharpenhoe, Bedfordshire, was unlikely.
