Notes: The West Tisbury Congregational Church records (kept at the
D.C.H.S.) lists "Miss Lydia Norton, died Jan. 1851" and "january
1851, Rev. E. Chase preached the funeral sermon of Miss Lydia
Norton." There was also a Lydia F. Norton of Edgartown, wife of
Samuel Norton, who died at age 67 on June 13, 1851, as recorded by
the Gazette on 6/20/1851. Although the date and name is close, I
think the town notice refers to the same person mentioned in the
Cong. Church records, and not to the married Lydia of Edgartown.
