The surname Norton and its origin
"Rumor in our family is thru Dad's mom, Nellie Norton (MacNaughton)*, we are descended from head of that Scotish clan. Unfortunately, they were on the wrong side of the Scot's fight against the English and they lost their castle there." (Ref. N. Johnson 2013)
*Nellie Norton was granddaughter of Clarissa and Nelson.
