I recently heard from the great, great, great, great grandson of Dennis Platt Norton, a chess player who, along with his son, Frank C. Norton, played an early part in the development of the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+).
While I pursue the possibility of further historical discoveries, I thought I would point out earlier coverage of the Nortons on this blog:
"A sparkling variation to the tiresome Piano game"
"Jerome Gambit Tournament: Chapter II"
"Jerome Gambit Tournament: Chapter III"
"Critical Line: 5...Kf8 (1)"
"The Life of Alonzo Wheeler Jerome"
