• General Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: Buried at Milton Church. He left a will in Kent and it is recorded in the Public Records Office in London. His birth date in this research is very unsettled with a wide range of dates being found.
  
  BIOGRAPHY: James Dempsey has written a detailed paper on the question: "Who was the father of John Norwood who married Elizabeth Etton and whose descendants lived at Leckhampton Court?" [Source 176]. He discusses the theory held by Marion Norwood Callam and his own theory which differs significantly. He stresses that there is no known documentation to prove either theory and that it will be up to future researchers to prove or disprove Marion Callam or Jim Dempsey's suggested ancestry for John Norwood who married Elizabeth Etton of Gilling Castle.
  
  BIOGRAPHY: According to William Otis Sawtelle, Notes on th Norwood Family, published 1925, "After two centuries in Kent the Norwoods took root in Gloucestershire. Captain Tyre writing from The Grotto, Leckhampton, Cheltenham, to Dr. Norwood under date of February 22, 1923 says: 'I have been able to trace the Norwoods of Leckhampton back to Myles Norwood and I believe this man is the actual connecting link, but I am not certain. I am supported in my view by the fact that the Arms of the Norwoods of Kent, without any difference, were confirmed by the Herald's College to the Norwoods of Leckhampton.' "
  
  BIOGRAPHY: While the situation is very confusing, particularly in light of the fact that I cannot locate any 'Myles Norwood', I have chosen to accept the theory that Sir John Nowood married Elinor Gifford and eventually inherited Leckhampton when the Gifford family had no heirs other than John and Elinor.
