Captain John NORRIS, captured in SC, during civil war-by Confederates-the father-in-law, of one of my GreatAunts, Maggie LARMAN, daughter of Henry LARMAN- -UNION-DC.

| DC/VA/MD/SC

Those who wish to check the 1880 fed census taken in Washington DC, will find one of my GreatGGrandfth's family's record.  The only daughter of his not with his last name is one of my GreatGrandfth's sister, Maggie LARMAN-NORRIS, apparently she and her husband did not live together, and this was probably in some way connected with the Civil War.

As far as all my investagations, Maggie and her husband Calvin Christopher Columbus NORRIS, had only one son. BTW, Calvin C.C. J. NORRIS, died in Takoma Park, MD-I think he lived to be abt 80. Anyway he is listed on the 1930 fed census taken I think they may had claimed that area in takoma Park, was DC, at that time- it run's into two counties and on some records is under DC.

Maggie died in DC, in 1911.

Thank you for the note John! Our Calvin passed the sword to my uncle Fred in Dayton, WA. When Uncle Fred passed, it went to my Dad, me and now with my niece Lisa and her family in Houston (Lisa used the sword to cut her wedding cake as did my sister). Lisa and I spoke about the sword coming back to the Norris side of the family in the distant (we hope) future. I have a great photo of Captain Norris in uniform with his sword on the wall in our guest bedroom. I have included my sister Lea, niece Lisa and son Oly (named after great uncle Fred Oley and uncle Don Oley) in this thread. I might also note my grandkids call me Pappy!

The cane in question was returned to me after being out of the family for approx. 100 years...found in root cellar in Pasadena ,Calf. in 1972 and found it's way to me by the generosity of " pappy" and his friend who had actually found it. The story involving this cane from the outset is without doubt a truly remarkable set of circumstances commencing 30 July 1864. See Washpost article April 17, 1902.(page 2)..re presentation of Capt. Norris's sword to son of Capt Norris and as a result of this act of kindness, a cane (inscribed with detailed specifics) was given subsequently to Capt. Beaton by son of Capt. Norris in gratitude of the return to Calvin Norris of his father's sword taken when his father taken prisoner at Battle of the Crater 30 July 1864 by my great grandfather. I reside in Canada.

I have in possession of a ceremonial cane that a son of John Norris presented to a Capt. John W. Beaton of the C.S.A. dated 1902. The cane was given to Capt. Beaton in appreciation for returning the sword of Capt. Norris to his family. I'm trying to locate the Beaton family to give back the cane. My email address is pappy26@cox.net

My great-great grandfather William B. Phillips was a personal friend of John Norris. Both were officers in the 2nd. PA Provisional Heavy Artillery and were captured at the Battle of the Crater. They were imprisoned together at Camp Asylum, Columbia, S.C. I have 2 original letters written by John Norris to my ancestor dated 8 May and 15 September 1865. They can be viewed online at www.griffingweb.com Greg Taylor-Los Angeles, CA.
