TIMOTHY NORTON 17    - 1821 SARAH N. COOMBS 1796 - 1875 AMY COVELL 17    - 18 VALENTINE NORTON 18    LOST AT SEA 18 MARY W. NORTON 18    - 1821 INFANT This is a modern stone with many blank dates. When and why was it erected? Some of these people appear to be from Edgartown.

1) Was this the Timothy Norton of Edgartown who was the son of Joseph and Hepsibah Norton and the husband of Sarah Covell? (See The Joseph Norton family of Martha's Vineyard for more information about this family.)

2) Can anyone identify Sarah N. Coombs?

3) Amy (Newcomb) Covell, born about 1772, was the daughter of Andrew Newcomb and Sarah Daggett of Tisbury, and the wife of Jethro Covell of Edgartown. She probably died before 1850.

4) Can anyone identify Valentine or Mary W. Norton, or the infant?
