Robert Norden was one of the very early non-conformists.

NORDEN Robert Waldron 22 Jul 1690 house of R Norden registered for worship of Anabaptists Taken from a compilation of the Episcopal and Quarter SessionsRecords by the staff of the East and West Sussex Record Offices of houses which were registerd as places of worship for non conformist denominations

n 1714, Robert Norden of Warbleton, Sussex, England was sent to Virginia as a Baptist minister. 

Norden was the first Baptist minister sent to America.  His work is under reported but a great deal of the Baptist movement in the southern United States is a result of his family.

DNA research has linked up Nordens, Nordans, Nordins and Nortons as part of his family. 

Here is a study on the Nordens of Sussex.

Sussex / Norden in Wableton Waldren area

I am seeking Nordens who are still living in Sussex that may trace their ancestors to this area for DNA tests. 

Robert Norden left Warbelton in 1714 for Virginia as the first Baptist Minister in Colonial Virginia.  His decendants in America have grown very numerous and we have tacked them down with DNA. 

We would like to link any present Nordens in Sussex with the family. 

Scott Norton/Norden.
