      2. Henry R. Stiles, "The History and Genealogies of Ancient Windsor, Connecticut," 1892, v. 2, does not have any genealogies of "Norton" or "Hale".

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Manuscript from the Windsor CT. Historical Society Library of Jay Mack Holbrook entitled "Conn. Colonists - Windsor 1635-1703" has the following listings for Gillets. I am not sure what the references refer to, but they appear to be a compilation of mentioned names in original sources. I have rearranged the entries to be chronological rather than alphabetical as presented by the book compiler.
      Gillet, Marcy; marriage to George Norton of Suffield, 14 Jun 1683; WIN638:59 [widow of John Gillet].
      Gillet, Mercy; marriage to George Norton of Southfield, 14 Jun 1683; WEL898:52 [widow of John Gillet].
