"John W., married first, Susannah Carmichael daughter of his fathers second wife, Pensy, by her first husband, Angus Carmichael; his wife died, leaving one child, a daughter, named Ires, who, when seven or eight years of age, was killed in a cotton gin; John W. Norton married, a second time, the widow Carmichael, nee Jordan; by this marriage he had only one child, a daughter, Minnie, who died when about grown - her mother having died before she did; John W. married, a third wife, Sarah Ivey, and by her he had four children, two sons and two daughter (small); he is now seventy years of age or more; he was always a modest and retiring sort of man. Away back in the 1850's, he went to Mississippi and enlisted in the regular army of the United States, 2nd US Cavalry Regiment, of which Algernon Sydney Johnson was Colonel; Robert E. Lee, Lieutenant Colonel; E. Kirby Smith, Major, and Earl Van Dorn, Senior Captain. J. W. Norton was in Van Dorn's company, and was promoted to the rank of Quartermaster Sergeant. All these officers became, in the Confederate army, distinguished and highly distinguished Generals. J. W. Norton served five years in this regiment, and at the end of his service he was given a three months furlough to visit his home; at the end of which he went to his regiment, with a view to re-enlist; but just at this time Secession occurred; his Second Regiment of Cavalry was broken up - its officers being all Southern men - and he came back to SC, volunteered in Captain W. P. Shooter's company, went to Virginia, and remained in the Confederate Army till its surrender at the end of the war. He was wounded twice in battles with the Indians while in the US service, and again slightly while in the Confederate service. He did not marry till late in life, and after the Confederate War; since which he has married three times, as above stated. With the prestige of this five years' previous service with and under officers so distinguished, he might have gotten some soft place in the Confederate service, but for his modesty and unpretentious disposition." - Pages 477-478, A History of Marion County Note: Year of death on grave stone is 1903, John's obituary appeared in The State on July 11, 1904.
