I am searching for the parents and siblings of Mary Van Norman, b. about 1817, married (1) Thomas Bruce in Claiborne County, MS; married (2) Thomas Vernon in Claiborne County, MS.
Mary's sister was Eliza Van Norman, b. 1809, d. 1845 in Claiborne County, MS and is buried at Wintergreen Cemetery, Port Gibson, Clairborne County, MS. Eliza married James Morris Sutton, 1829 in Clairborne County, MS.
I have plenty of info on the Sutton line, but this line of Van Norman is about to break me. I have found a family story that Eliza's daughter, Mary Wilson Sutton, married her cousin, C. C. Van Norman. I am interested in proof of this story.
