8.) John (3) Norris ) was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1672. He moved to Maryland with his parents in 1674. He went to sea when he was about 17 years of age and was a mariner for some years sailing out of Baltimore.

He married Mary Winifred Patrick , daughter of Henry Patrick, about 1705. Mary was born in Maryland in 1689. John and Mary migrated to Charleston, South Carolina, where he had a grant of land of 300 acres in Colleton District on November 11, 1707. There is no record of disposition of this land in Charleston, and Colleton records are not extant.

They were living in St. Philips Parish in 1748-49 where John died in the early 1750's. Mary Winifred, called " Winnie " moved to Abbeville District, South Carolina near her son, Robert Norris, and is recorded in the family records as among those who were massacred by the Indians at Long Cane in February, 1760.
