"He was a cooper by trade. He moved to Anne Arundel co., Md. Mary a sister to Elizabeth Freeman who married Thomas Meares. They were Quakers & it was through records of Thomas Meares & his family the identity of Mary was discovered. They resided in Anne Arundel co. in close proximity to said Thomas Meares & Edward was a witness to the will of said Meares in 1674. Edward moved to Baltimore co., Md. bef to 1686. He was a witness to the will of John Kemp dtd 1 December 1686/7 & said will was probated 15 March 1686/7 

Edward Norris married the widow of said John Kemp, who was Sarah (Wichell) Kemp. He died intestate. On 10 Feb. 1695/6 came John Thomas on behalf of Sarah Norris of Baltimore co. & shewed that Edward Norris, late of sd county, deceased, died intestate & proposed letters of administration her sd. deceased husband of late, the which was granted & a commission out of this office to Mr. George Ashman to swear the said Sarah, administratrix, with blanke bond to take security according to law, etc. (Adms. XVI fol. 129), The inventory of his estate is as follows:...appraised in money this 15th day of Feb 1696:...(Inv. Lib. A1 Fols. 18-54. Balto., Md.). On the 12 Apr. 1698 came John Thomas that married the widow & relict of Edward Norris, late of Baltimore co., deceased, who being cited to render an account of the estate of said Edward Norris which his wife administered upon & declares he hath nothing to pay & that the whole inventory or the estate according to appraisement belonged to the two orphans of one Kemp, & ordered that ye same be transmitted to ye co. court to take security & further ye sd John Thomas desired that he be no more cited. (Lib. XVII fol. 82).

The death of said Sarah is not known.

The above record covers everything so far discovered pertaining to Edward Norris. He apparently never owned any real estate, & there are indications he was more or less improvident. During the years this record was being constructed we naturally formed some mental picture of a man who was a "good mixer" & used this characteristic to its full extent. About 1923 we met an ederly kinsman in Hartford co., Md. who was near 90 years of age, physically infirm but whose mind was very clear, she had lived all her life in Hartford co. & knew personally a great number of the Norris men who lived there from 1835 to 1920; we had her describe the personal characteristics of many of them, one she described stating:"...Norris was a well built man. loved horses, & was a good talker, spent much of his time visiting friends & relatives, but he would not work." This man was a direct descendant of Edward Norris & this description shows undoubtedly many characteristics of the prototype Edward Norris."

7. I believe him to be my direct male paternal linage ancestor. I have DNA Y-111 markers with FTDNA and would like to confirm with other male descendants. I collaborated with Corinne (#5 above) in the 1980's. Tony Norris
