Nnrtnu Thomas Norton emigrated- from Ockley, Surrey County, England to America in 1639, and in September of that year settled, with the other original settlers, at Guilford, C'onnecticut. As he is supposed to be descended from the N ortons of Sharpenhow, Bedfordshire, England, the follo,ving list of one line of his descendants is prefaced by, first, a portion of an Article on the "Norton Family" pub­ lished in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, volume 13~ pages 225 to 232; and second, by a short description of the settlement and settlers of Guilford, C·onn.

NORTON. 7 SECOND. GurLFORD, CONNECTICUT. Guilford was settled in 1639i, by a company of Puritans, from Surrey and Kent Counties, England; under the leadership of Rev. Henry Whitfield, who with William Leete, afterward Governor of the Prov­ ince, Thomas Norton, and at least twenty-two others, some with families, others ,vith none, set sail from London, England, on ~fay 20th, 1639, for the New World. They styled themselves the Guilford C·ompany; and on the first day of June, 1639, while on ship board, the little band signed a ''plantaceon'' covenant, in which they expressed the purpose to settle near Quinnipiack (New Haven). The covenant so signed reads as follows: C·OVENANT. We, whose names are hereunder written, intend­ ing by God's gracious permission, to plant our­ selves in New England, and if it may be, in the southerly part, about Quinnipiac.k: vv· e do faithfully promise, each to each, for our­ selves and families and those that belong to us; that we will, the Lord assisting us, sit down and join to­ gether in one entire plantation; and to be helpful each to the other in every common ,vork, according to every man's ability, and as need shall require; and ,ve promise not to desert or leave each other or 8 NORTON. the plantation but ,vith the consent of the rest, or the greater part of the Company, ,vho have enter­ ed into this agreement. As for our gathering together in a church way, and the choice of officers and members to be joined together in that way, we do refer ourselves until such time as it shall please God to settle us in our plantation. In witness ,vhereof we subscribe our names, the First day of June, 1639. Robert Kitchell, "\Villiam Plane, Francis Bushnell, Francis Chatfield, John Hughes, "\Villiam Leete, Thomas Naish, John Parmelin, John Jurdon, Henry Doude, Henry Whitfield, John Stone, John Bishop, Abraham Cruttenden, Richard Guttridge, William Chittenden, Thomas Norton, William Ha.Ile, William Dudley, Thomas J oanes, Henry Kingsnorth, John 1Iepham, William Stone, Thomas Cooke, John Hoadley.'' Between the 10th and 15th of July, 1639, they en­ tered New Haven harbor; their ships-for they had two-being the first vessels that had entered it. After landing at New Haven, measures ,vere im­ mediately taken to find a suitable location for the Company. After careful search, they decided upon "1vienunkatuck"; to this they subsequently gave the name of Guilford, after the county seat of Surrey Coun­ ty, England, ,vhere many of them had lived. The original town included the present tovv-rns of !,fadison and Guilford, and stretched along· the coast NORTON. 9 of Long Island Sound, from Branford. to I(illing,vorth, a distance of nine or ten miles in a straight line, and extending back from the Sound about the same dis­ tanee. The whole of the original town was originally in­ habited by Indians, who called the ,vestern part of it, Menunkatuck. The part of the township, which embraces nearly all the present town of Gui.If ord, ,vas purchased of the Sachem-squaw of l\fenunkatuck, Shaumpishuh, Sep­ tember 29th, 1639, by Henry Whitfield, R-obert Kitchell, William Leete, "\Villi.am Chittenden, John Bishop and John Caffinge, in behalf of themselves and the others of their party. The articles given for this tract were twelve coats, twelve fathoms of wampum, twelve glasses, twelve pairs of shoes, twelve hatchets, t,velve pairs of stock­ ings, twelve hoes, four kettles, twelve knives, twelve ha ts, twelve porringers, twelve spoons, and two Eng­ lish coats. The settlement commenced immediately after this purchase; and before ,vinter set in, they had cleared the neeessary land and built houses, and moved into them. One of the houses built at that time, was the Henry Whitfield house, which was built of stone, and is no,v standing; it is said to be the oldest house no,v standing in the United States; some years ago, it was purchased by the State of Connecticut, and it is no,v used by the state as an Historical l\1useum building. After the "\vnitfield house ,vas completed, it was used by the comm11nity, to hold their church services 10 SORTON. in, until their first church ,vas built, a year or t\vo later, as well as being used by the Rev. Henry \Vhitfield and his family, as a residence. 11r. Whitfield was desirous of extending the planta­ tion, and it was through his efforts, that other purchas­ es of land were made from the Indians ; a portion being purchased from Uncas, who claimed the land by virtue of the conquest of the Pequoids or Pequoits, in which he assisted. The original settlers were mostly farmers ; they had not a merchant among them, and scarcely a me­ chanic; it was with great trouble and expense that they procured a blacksmith. Thomas Norton ,vas the :first miller ; he was a ppoin.t­ ed miller, by the .Company, or settlement in 1646, and he received compensation from the Company, or set­ tlement, in addition -to one-half of the toll, which he took from each grist ; the other half of the toll, going · to the Company or settlement. He served as miller from the time of his appointment until his death in 1648. The Thomas Norton house was built and stood on what is now State street in the village of Guilford. The following data, do-\vn to Elihu N orton5, as to names, dates, and places of births, marriages and deaths, is taken fron1 an Article on "The Descendents of Thomas Norton of Guilford, C·onn.' ', published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, volume 54, page 269 ( in 1900).

  • CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY and the LIBERATION of EVE a Thesis
    CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY AND THE LIBERATION OF EVE A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Jennifer Emily Sims, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 1, 2016 CHRISTIAN PATRIARCHY AND THE LIBERATION OF EVE Jennifer Emily Sims, B.A. MALS Mentor: Theresa Sanders, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Christian Patriarchy is a set of beliefs held by many conservative Christians that outlines gender roles based on a literal interpretation of scripture. These gender roles, also referred to as biblical manhood and biblical womanhood, dictate the hierarchy of authority where Christ is the head of the household, the husband is the head of the wife. Children are primed at a very young age to demonstrate the tenets of biblical manhood and biblical womanhood, but for young girls, their paths are strictly laid out for them to marry, birth many Godly children, and serve their husbands. The fundamentalist reading of Genesis 2-3 is used to justify female submission via Eve’s creation and subsequent role in the Fall of Humanity. This evangelical interpretation uses Genesis 2-3 as the foundational text to first justify women as subordinate based on creation order, and secondly justify women’s submission on Eve’s role in the Fall of Humanity. By using biblical interpretations to subordinate the woman’s position vis-à-vis her husband, women in these conservative Christian homes are locked into this role with little chance to follow a different path, and are often dependent on a dominant male figure for survival.

  • Some Kentish Indents D'elboux
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 95 ) SOME KENTISH INDENTS. BY R. H. D'ELBO1TX, M.O., F.S.A. BOUGHTON MONORELSEA. Bagshawe's Directory of 1847 states this church was "almost wholly destroyed by fire, 30th December, 1832", and describes it as "a small neat edifice . erected at a cost of £1,500 ". In fact, it was the Nave that was destroyed, and the cost of reparations 11,250 is. lid. (see C. F. Meade's Guide to the Church, 1913). In 1874 and the year following it was thoroughly—too thoroughly— restored and enlarged, the monuments, however, on the whole receiving fair treatment. Skied behind the organ, on the north wall of the north Chancel, is a pleasing mural monument of the Southwark school, which has an inscription, unrecorded as brass, to Belkna,pp Rudston, 1613. On the floor, west of the organ, in the same chancel, is the indent for an inscription 2f8- by 15 inches, possibly that of Margaret, wife of Richard Norton, specially mentioned by Hasted (II, 398) as buried under the Wierton House seat. The inscription is given in full in Parson's Monuments of 1794, P. 322: " On a brass plate let into a large flat stone, is the following inscription in old Roman letters: Hic jacet Margarita Norton quodam uxor Roberti Norton die Pm. b6 Marie anno difi M00000LXX0. cujus anime propitietur Deus, Amen.'" Hasted gives the date as 1507, and the husband's name as Richard Norton.

I wish also to express my obligations to Mr. Murray, who kindly allowed me to use several hitherto unpub- lished letters from Mrs. Norton to his grandfather written between the years 1834-8.

  • Should Christians Use Birth Control?
    STATEMENT DE-194 SHOULD CHRISTIANS USE BIRTH CONTROL? by H. Wayne House Summary Christian couples are pulled in different directions by people, movements, and circumstances on the issue of whether to have children. Some believe that no birth control should be used, whereas others maintain that a couple may properly choose never to have children at all. Most stand somewhere in the middle. The secular birth control movement glorifies small families while many Christians decry all use of conception-control devices or procedures. The Bible provides a balance. It exalts the bearing of children while recognizing that one’s duties in the world may limit the number of children borne or delay childbearing as husband and wife seek to fulfill the mandate of bei ng stewards over creation. The matter of birth control has been a concern of married couples for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. In recent times, with modern technology developing easier and more sophisticated methods of birth control, it has become commonplace in most Western nations for couples to use birth control (which includes conception control and abortion) to limit the size of their families. 1 Christians in all ages have generally practiced some form of birth control, whether through medica l devices or by more natural means, such as restricting intercourse to certain periods of the month or through coitus interruptus. Though the Roman Catholic church declared birth control a violation of natural law in the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (1965), most Protestants have considered some forms of birth control morally acceptable. Recently, however, Mary Pride and other evangelical Christians have denounced such procedures as sinful.
