He was the father of Marvin Gift that married my Aunt Juanita Brinker.
He was also the father of Pauline Gift that married my Uncle Clarence Tuneson Brinker (Grandma's brother) and then later married my Uncle Willard Norris (Grandpa's brother).

Been working on my Norris genealogy lately; thanks to being contacted by a cousin.

Uncle Chester Norris and his brother, John Quincy Norris married sisters, Connie Rachel Ball and Ida Rebecca Ball.

Grandpa Noble Norris and brother William Norris also married sisters, Nora Elva Moore and Margaine Moore.

All these Norris boys were the sons of George Norris and Nancy Wilson.

Connie and Ida were the daughters of Hugh Ball and Amanda Jackson.
