The son of Joseph Norris (1777-1838) and Margaret Kearns Norris (1783-1850/51)

William's burial place is unproven at this time. His two wives are buried in Bethal aka Ten Mile Cemetery, so I am placing his memorial there until I prove otherwise. He is enumerated on the 1850, 1860, & 1870 US Census with 1st wife Susannah Kauke Norris (married 1834) and on the 1880 US Census with 2nd wife Catherine Lehman Drudge-Smith-Norris (married 1874).

Susannah and William had 10 children; 6 girls and 4 boys:
Anna Elizabeth Norris Boyer memorial ID 71507122
Margaret Norris Twining-Reaker memorial ID 67882312
Mary Norris Twining memorial ID 67718773
Catherine "Cat" Norris Shirley memorial ID 55940144
Benjamin Franklin Norris memorial ID 67696824
William Alfred Norris memorial ID 45369385

Hiram Randolph Norris memorial ID 41157379
Elma Norris born Nov 1849 [married name is illegible on Williams Will]
Martha Emma Norris Abbott born 1853 memorial not found
LINKS HAVE BEEN REQUESTED; seven of their children are already linked to Susanna's memorial.

Catherine and William had 1 daughter
Charity Electy Norris Richie-Kidder memorial ID 31061700 s her memorial is already linked to her mother's memorial

His Wood County Estate probate record # WC 1231 was obtained; it provided his date of death and the names of 14 heirs including his 2nd wife Catherine; Iva Dell Reaker was named as a granddaughter as well as daughter Margaret's two daughters with Eli Twining. Since Margaret had died before her father, her 3 daughters inherited her share of William's estate. William's daughter Mary married Amos Twining, brother of her sister Margaret's husband Eli Twining. William's only child with his 2nd wife, daughter Charity, was just 5 years of age when her father died.
