2. James Norvill
b. March 9, 1801, New Hanover co., North Carolina - d. December 2, 1842, Fulton co., Illinois.m. Mahala Applewhite, b. 1806, North Carolina.
In one of the old records it is written that the James Norvill family left North Carolina in 1837, They went to Madison, Indiana where his brother Oliver had been living for the past about three years.The two families then proceeded to get organized for a permanent move to Illinois.They arrived in Knox co. Illinois in 1837/8, however most of their lives were spent in Fulton co. near Midway.
One history book list James Norvill as a minister.It is almost certain that he farmed to provide for his family.His life in Illinois was very brief; just four years.Mahala remained a widow for four years.On December 14, 1848, she m. Isaac Romine.Whether he died or they divorced is not known, but on Oct. 10, 1859 she m. William Marks.She is listed as Mahala Norvill in the 1850 census even though she was married to Isaac Romine in 1848, but this was probably because they were still living on the old Norvill place.By 1870 Mahala and William Marks had a Fairview, Illinois address.Her grandaughter, Martha Prosser, age 12, was living with them during thast year."Mahaley" Marks d. July 17, 1875.Burial was next to her 1st., husband in the Lyons cemetery, Fulton co., Illinois
