Subject: Biography of Thomas Norton of Sharpenhoe

Just wanted to point out the existence of a 420-page biography of
Thomas Norton (d. 1584), M.P., of Sharpenhoe, Bedfordshire, both of
whose wives were members of the Cranmer family. I believe he is
claimed as an ancestor of at least two Norton immigrants to New
England (I'm going from memory here; I threw out the set of TAG,
1930-63 [or whatever], but there was a series of articles on these
Nortons therein).

The biography is: Michael A. R. Graves, _Thomas Norton: The
Parliament Man_ (Oxford: Blackwell, 1994).
