I. Susan Jennette Howd, b. in the "Dutch house quarter," Branford, Conn., 25 Ap. 1812; married at her father's house in Branford, 25 Ap. 1833, by Rev. Timothy P. Gillett, Congregational, to Levi Hooker Norton, a printer, who was born at Kensington, in Berlin, Conn., 17 Jan. 1810, son of Stephen and Betsey (Hooker) Norton. He worked at his trade, chiefly in New Haven, Conn., till 1836, and in Washington, D. C.; and settled, in 1840, on a plantation, fourteen miles north of Mobile, Alabama, at Creola Station, on the Mobile and Alabama Grand Trunk Railway, where she died from a disease of the heart, without children, 1 Dec. 1869, and was buried in their private cemetery at that place. "Ever kind and generous, especially to the sick and distressed, she spent much of her life in relieving their wants with medicine and nursing." He was still living at Creola Station in 1874, filling the office of justice of the peace for Mobile County (which, with that of road-commissioner, he had held almost continuously for twenty-one years), busied with the care of his plantation, and remembering with pride that he, "at the age of about fifty-five years, was the last sentinel at general head-quarters, at the surrender of Mobile."
