    Notes:

    NANCY NORRIS, born April 14, 1803, Wilkes County, North Carolina, married Isaac Newton Greene, and died in 1878 in Pike County, Kentucky.

    William Norris and his second wife, Eunice, had ten children, all born in Wilkes County, North Carolina:
    JOHN B. NORRIS, born January 12, 1806, married Rachel Sands, and died May 18, 1847, Watauga County, North Carolina;
    SAMUEL NORRIS, born March 8, 1808, married Melissa Curtis, and died about 1865 in Polk County, Tennessee;
    ANNA NORRIS, born June 22, 1810, married Michael Cook, and died in 1877 in Watauga County, North Carolina;
    LEVI NORRIS, born July 7, 1812, married Rhoda Margaret Morphew, and died June 28, 1894, Johnson County, Tennessee;
    REBECCA NORRIS, born March 27, 1813, married Samuel Trivette, and died February 27, 1906, Watauga County, North Carolina;
    MYRIAH (MYRA) NORRIS, born April 28, 1815, married Jacob Cook, and died April 19, 1909, Watauga County, North Carolina;
    JOEL GRANVILLE NORRIS, born March 18, 1818, married Mary Griffitts, and died February 8, 1894, Watauga County, North Carolina;

    One should understand that Wilkes County, NC was formed from Surrey County, NC in 1777. Next, Ashe County, North Carolina was formed from Wilkes County, NC in 1799; while Watauga County, NC was formed from Ashe County in 1849. From the History of Watauga County we know that John Norris was residing in Meat Camp, North Carolina in 1776. Meat Camp in 1776 would have been part of Surrey County, in 1777 the same spot was in Wilkes County, in 1799 it would have been Ashe County, while in 1849 onwards it would be Watauga County, NC.

    So when choosing to do genealogical research you can list events as occurring within present day boundaries or historical boundaries. I choose to use the present day boundaries so that i can easily find a physical location.

    So for William Simon Norris the closest area locatable is Meat Camp, Watauga, North Carolina likely on Norris Branch or Creek. According to the history book, Joel actually lived in Soda Hill a couple of miles east of Meat Camp. And since William was living with Joel at the time of his death, that is the most probable location of his death

    William married Shinn, Eunice "Unicy" in 1805 in Wilkes, North Carolina, USA. Eunice (daughter of Shinn, Samuel Jr and Branson, Anna) was born on 5 Jan 1780 in Surry, North Carolina, USA; died on 15 Feb 1870 in Meat Camp, Watauga, North Carolina, USA; was buried after 15 Feb 1870 in Baptist Church Cemetery, Meat Camp, Watauga, North Carolina, USA.
