One of his sons was U.S. Senator John Norvell of Michigan and his grandson, William Walker, the son of Mary Norvell Walker, was the filibuster in Nicaragua.
Soon afterward, in connection with his brother-in-law, John Norvell, he purchased and published the Baltimore "Whig."
In March 1819 he married Martha Hodgkiss of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the sister of Isabella Hodgkiss Norvell, wife of US Senator John Norvell.
