Yes, Norton not Horton. Since this thread is wandering away from its origin, I would be glad to continue off line. My address is WCHagen@aol.com. If you give me the list of possible comrades of Norton on his way to Montana, I will investigate thru Ancestry.com.
The reason behind the name "Sheep Dip" is because the Whiskey sold by Norton was supposedly so vile that it tasted like the concoction sheep were dipped into for medicinal purposes.
