• Notes

  I do not believe this Edward had a son Edward who emigrated to the colonies because I can find no DNA matches with descendants of Edward. Here is more detail. I have been able to find no evidence that Rev. Edward of Salem, Mass. is the son of Edward Norris, Gov. of Ostend. This includes checking for any first hand records, checking autosomal DNA cousin triangulations with my Uncle, Sharon Coates Kubacki and descendants of John Norris b. 1617-1621 of England, Mass. and NY. Mary was of Newbury whose closest possible relative was Edward Norris, Gov. of Ostend who lived 12 miles from Newbury, Berkshire, England. Descendants of she and John do NOT triangulate with descendants of Rev. Edward of Salem, Mass. Major publications like "The American Genealogist" article concur stating he had no children with his wife who was a cousin. The Visitations of Berkshire concluded in the early 1600's don't list them with any children either.
