Notes for FAIRLEY A. NORTON:3497
The Fairly Norton family was living in Marlboro County, SC, Adamsville Township in 1900. This District (#86) is described as being all that portion of the township lying south of the public road leading from Beauty Spot Bridge Cross Roads to the NC line, outside of Tatum Town. William James, nephew, b. December 1883 was living with this family in 1900.
"From what I am told--Viney was a very tiny lady and very small of statue....Her family is believed to be from Wadesboro, North Carolina--Anson County....My family is from Hamlet--I attended the local schools there and recieved my BA from Pembroke State University.....All of our family is buried in Nebo Wesleyan Church cemetary....
My great-great grandad Fairley Archie Norton died in 1921 and belonged to the Woodmen of the World organization--he married a lumbee/Cherokee Indian from Pembroke and was ostracized from most of his family...My last name is Norton and like my forefathers, I have wavy brown hair, and blue eyes..."

"Fairly and Mary Catherine had Henry, Elizabeth, Daisy, Andrew, Addie Jane, Archie...Plus, they adopted 2 children, Otho Lee Smith and Robert K. Smith...At one time, they had a rather large farm and two cars--pretty good for the late 1800's and early 1900's... He was a farmer and a member of the Woodman of the World. organization...However, when they moved away from their previous place--the new land they had purchased was dry as dirt--and they monetary ventures were diminished....
Fairley was ostracized from his family because of his wife's skin tone as was much of her relatives and ancestery were mulatto...Anyway, my grandad, Archie married my great-grandmother Mae in 1923 and they had 6 children: Archie Jr (my grandad), Edmond (deceased), Vera, Lester, Jainey Ruth and Paul....They started out as tennant farmers with tobacco, until my great grandad was able to save enough money to buy his own farm....All of my relatives are buried at our home church of Nebo Wesleyan Church in Hamlet, North Carolina" Source: Bryan Norton June 17, 2003
