4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
Eunice Norman was born 14 March 1686 in Marblehead, Essex County, Massachusetts, to John and Sarah (Maverick) Norman[1].
She married, first, to Samuel Rayment on 21 November 1704 in Marblehead[2]. They had five children, all born in Marblehead:
* John Rayment (1705-????).
* Eunice Rayment (1707-1772), married 1726 Robert Seaver (1702-1752).
* Samuel Rayment (1716-????).
* Sarah Rayment (1718-????), married 1743 John Jackson (1719-????).
* Benjamin Rayment (1719-????).
Samuel Rayment died before 6 January 1723/4 in Beverly, Massachusetts, when administration on his estate was granted to his widow, Eunice, and Joshua Orne. The estate was insolvent, and was finally settled in 1737, when the youngest child was age 18[4].
On 16 March 1723/4, the natural children of John Norman, late of Marblehead deceased, sold land in Salem to Joseph Neale for 25 shillings each[3]. The children listed were Eunice Raymond of Marblehead, widow, Moses Norman of Boston, mariner, Sarah Broughton wife of John Broughton of Marblehead, John Norman of Marblehead, fisherman, Benjamin Norman of Marblehead, cordwainer, and Elizabeth Norman, singlewoman of Boston. The land was about 15 rods more or less, being 12 feet 4 inches in the front near the main street and 12 feet 4 inches in breadth in the rear bounded westerly with Mr. Kitchen's land, southerly by Mr. Pickering's land, and easterly with Joseph Neale's land. The deed was signed by Benjamin Norman, John Broughton, Sarah Broughton, and Eunice Rayment. This deed proves the child relationship of Eunice Rayment to her parents, John and Sarah (Maverick) Norman.
Eunice (Norman) Rayment married Joseph Morgan (1671-1741) on 30 December 1741 in Beverly. He died on 30 June 1741 in Beverly[5]. They had no children.
Eunice (Norman) (Rayment) Morgan died in about 1743, probably in Marblehead. There is no death record, burial record or probate record for her.
