Francis Norton is listed with the original group sent by Mason as "Steward". considering the coat of arms that Francis used, it could be supposed that he was sent along as the fiscal agent to arrange for goods to be sent to England.

Hiram Norton b. Oct. 3, 1828 Prince Edward Peninsula, Can

Hirams father was also born in Canada abt 1800. It would appear his ancestors were Loyalists during the Revolution who sheltered at PEI. Chances are they came from CT about 1777. Theres no more than 2 generations before Hirams father. It was the practice on PEI to shelter Loyalists, especially noble born.

Chances are this family were loyalists during the Revolution and escaped to Prince Edward Island. The island was populated at this time by nobility from England.

Edmund Fanning, also a Loyalist exiled by the Revolution, took over as the second governor, serving until about 1806. His tenure was more successful than Walter Patterson's.
During the 19th century, the colony of Prince Edward Island began to attract "adventurous Victorian families looking for elegance on the sea. Prince Edward Island became a fashionable retreat in the nineteenth century for British nobility".

From Kay Smalley
He is Hiram (1828)'s great grandson. Hiram (1828) was born in Demorestville which is in Prince Edward COUNTY, in Ontario. I made the same mistake you did when I started out, thinking Prince Edward Peninsula must be Prince Edward Island, but it is not. It is a Peninsula which sticks out into Lake Ontario and it is part of Prince Edward COUNTY in Ontario. Prince Edward County was also settled in large part by Loyalists.

There were two Hiram Nortons in Lockport, IL.

One of them came from Prince Edward Co. in about 1860.

The other was born in Skaneateles NY in 1799. Hiram (1799) arrived in Lockport in 1838 from Grenville County, Ontario, Canada (where he had served as an MP). He founded Norton and Co in Lockport which was in the grain business. He is the one who died in 1875. He was my great-great-granfather. His line is in test #11197.

There are no Norton matches to #11197 in the Family Tree database, and the DNA record indicates that #11197 is not related to #20648. Number 20648's family also believes that the two Norton families in Lockport were not related.
