The family in America dates from Joseph Norbury, a school-master, who came from England, in 1753, to Cape May County, New Jersey. Here, in 1758, he married Lydia Doubleday (a descendant of John Howland of the Pilgrim Mayflower colony of Massachusetts). Joseph Norbury, with his wife, later lived in Cumberland County, New Jersey, where their son, Heath Norbury, was born January 25, 1760. Joseph Norbury died in November, 1769. Heath Norbury became a "school-master" in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There he married, June 12, 1783, Susanna Britt, of Philadelphia of Quaker descent; also a descendant of the Swedish colony of Delaware. Heath Norbury was public spirited and interested in the social welfare of the community. During the prevalence of the cholera (1793) and later of the yellow fever (1799) epidemics in Philadelphia he was steward of the Philadelphia Hospital Lazaretto on Tinicum Island, Delaware River. He was also a member of the Board of Health of Philadelphia. The Lazaretto on Tinicum Island cared for the afflicted patients during the prevalence of these epidemics. In the epidemic of cholera in 1793 it was Stephen Girard who largely financed, individually directed, and participated in the relief activities. It is said that this was the only time that "Stephen Girard came out of his shell." He was a taciturn, recluse type of man; the wealthiest citizen of Philadelphia. He was the founder of Girard college and established the "Girard Estate," which today is the greatest financial institution in Philadelphia. The city of Philadelphia memorialized Heath Norbury by Resolutions for his unselfish devotion and fearless activity during the prevalence of these epidemics. (These resolutions are in possession of the family). He is buried in Northumberland, Pennsylvania, in the cemetery where rest the remains of Joseph Priestly, the discoverer of oxygen. Heath Norbury's wife, Susanna Britt, was a daughter of John and Mary Britt of Philadelphia, Quakers. Mary Britt was the sister of Col. Daniel Britt, of the Continental Army of the Revolution, who saw service under General Wayne, principally on the western frontier.
