A. | John Norton (a 1361) | ||||||||||||||
(1) Visitation shows this John as father of John (m. Felice Kendall & Allice) father, by Allice, of John (a 1411, m. Joane Holle) father of John (a 1451) & Jane (d 1500, m1. Robert Drop, m2. Viscount Lisley) with the last John (a 1451) being father of Richard (a 1494) who m. Elizabeth Rotherfield. (2) Thanks to a contributor (RH, 09.03.09) for drawing our attention to VCH (Hampshire, vol 4, 'Parishes: Linwood') which reports that the moiety of East Linwood was settled by Edmund de Kendall (and his wife Audrey) on his daughter Felicia in 1325. Consequently, that moiety passed to Felicia's son John Norton (d 1370) then John (b c1367) then from father to son including Richard (d 02.1537), John (d 07.1561) & Thomas and was sold in the latter half of the 16th century. (3) From the above, having noted the dates, we surmise that Visitation has confused the different generations of Johns, not helped by the fact (as reported by VCH) a John became heir to Lindwood when he was aged only 3. We suspect that this was the John (rather than his son) who married ... |

Thanks to a contributor (DCS, 05.01.21) for drawing our attention to 'Herald and Genealogist' (vol 5 (1870), p128) which provides a pedigree that starts with the following John Norton. Note that one of his daughters, Johanna, is clearly the Jane mentioned by Visitation. Because of the dates given for his children, we suspect that the following John was son of this John. | |||||||||||||||

BEB1841 reports that Richard was the 1st (and only) baronet. However, TCB (vol i, Norton of Rotherfield) shows that this was a confusion with his son Richard. | |||||||||||||||

BEB1841, which reports only Richard's marriage to Elizabeth Fiennes, suggests that Richard's father was Daniel of Southwick son of the above Daniel. We follow Visitation which omits the additional generation. | |||||||||||||||

The above children of Richard by Elizabeth Fiennes are as reported by Visitation. BEB1841 mentions only a son Richard ("the last heir male") and a daughter who married Richard Whitehead (and left an only dau/heir Mary m. Alexander Thistelthwayte), which appears to contradict the above information. However, BLG1886 (Thistlethwayte of Southwick Park) supports BEB1841 in reporting that Southwick passed through such a marriage (although BLG1886 does not identify the mother of the following daughter). | |||||||||||||||
