Published and declared by the testator as her last will and testament in presence of Eli-nr Norton, Samuel Norton Jun, and Nathan Norton. Ebenezer Norton is Justice of the Peace. Records searched without success for her death: 1. Buckskin, Ross, Ohio where her son Joseph and his family are buried. They were in Ross from 1800 until their deaths in 1850 and 1861. (Tombstone Inscriptions of Buckskin Twp, FHL book 977.1 A1 No. 713, p. 4.) I also checked Ross County Wills 1798-1848 (FHL 977.182 S2r.) 2. Hale Collection of Cemetery Inscriptions and Newspaper Notices. (FHL film 3170) 3. Cemetery Records of Washington County, Penn. (974.882 V3c.) 4. There were no Minors in Southbury, Roxbury, New Brittain, Washington parishes of Woodbury. this family is exclusively in Bethlehem.
Note	Ancestral File states they were married 18 Nov. 1731 in Woodbury, also repeated in various family histories. However, it was almost certainly before 1730 because Justice was born then. A search of records in both Stratford, Fairfield and in Woodbury have yielded no proof of marriage.
