General Notes: Husband - Moses Norris

---

His father located in Centre County, Pennsylvania, at an early day in its history, and during the time he was developing a farm in the midst of the forest underwent all the trials and difficulties of frontier life.

He was married in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, and they lived there until after the birth of their first child. Then they moved to Lawrence township, Clearfield County, settling with a brother-in-law, on 500 acres of land near Glen Richey. Mr. Norris subsequently sold his first homestead and bought 160 acres of land near Bloomington and owned that property at the time of death. He cleared his land and engaged in lumbering and at the age of sixty years retired, having accumulated a comfortable competency. He and wife were charter members of the Center church.

He accompanied his sister and brother-in-law from Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, to "The Ridges," Clearfield County, in 1810, and he became the progenitor of a numerous family.

He was for a number of years a leading farmer of Centre County, and was a prominent member of the Methodist Church.
