   Hello, I saw your post last week for a look-up from someone else on the
> S.C. list for Edgefield. You were looking for NORTON. I have the History
of
> Edgefield book by John A. Chapman and in it, a Norton is mentioned, but no
> first name.

Court

> the Saluda Rivers: in fact, in time of rain the water that falls on many
> houses, that on the East side runs to the Saluda and that on the West side
> to the Savannah. The country around Fruit Hill was originally settled by
