Isaac Norman was born Bef. February 01, 1682 in Spotsylvania, VA, and died Abt. 1748 in Culpeper County, VA. He married Frances Courtney, daughter of James Courtney and Mary Jenkins. She was born January 17, 1684.
The parentage of Isaac Norman has not been positively established. There were several families of Normans in Virginia and any one of them could have been Isaac's ancestors since many of the names were the same. The Normans of Gloucester, Stafford, Prince William, Fauquier and Culpeper counties are thought to be closely related. There is a record of Isaac Norman being baptized at Abingdon Episcopal Church, Virginia on February 1, 1682 as the son of Joseph Norman and Matilda Towlson (Tolson). There is also an entry for the daughter of Joseph and Matilda Norman, but there is no first name listed, just Norman, ______, who was baptized on March 8, 1684. The most plausible parentage seems to be Joseph Norman and Matilda Tolson. Without definite proof of Isaac Norman's ancestry, it is difficult to state positively who his parents were.
Isaac settled in St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania, Va about 1720-1724. He lived on Flat Run in that part of Spotsylvania County which became Orange County in 1734, and Culpeper County in 1749. Flat Run is a stream that flows into Mountain Run near where Mountain Run flows into the Rappahannock River, near the present town of Remington. Nearby is "Norman's Ford", a notable early crossing of the Rappahannock River, is said to have taken its name from Isaac Norman. The following is from Virginia records; "Norman's Ford, on the Rappahannock River, took its name from Isaac Norman of the Stafford County family who first settled there and in June 1726, had a land grant on the Spotsylvania, later Culpeper, shore of the river". The land was on lower side of Flat Run fork of the Rappahannock River.
Survey: July 22, 1749, Culpeper Co., VA, Isaac Norman's land shows on George Washington's maps when he surveyed for the new county.
Isaac Norman's first land grant of record was for 420 acres. In 1728, Isaac and his son-in-law, James Turner, received a grant of 634 acres. His son, Courtney, was granted 238 acres in the same year. Isaac received another 200 acres in 1735. Isaac did not leave a will, but before his death he conveyed land by deeds to his children. Deeds on record are to his daughter, Karenhappuch and her Husband, James Turner; also to Nathaniel Hillen, husband of Kesiah Norman; and to his son Joseph. Based on these land transfers It is evident Isaac and his wife Frances Courtney helped their children become established in this newly-settled colony.
Isaac acquired much land and appeared to be a prosperous planter. At a court held for Sporsylvania County on October 3, 1724, the county sold tobacco plants to "sundry people". Among the names are Robert Green & Isaac Norman "Tobacco plants 245595, tobacco 164". In the early records of Spotsylvania, Orange and Culpeper Counties, there are recorded many deeds and orders which reveal the activities of Isaac Norman and his family.

An interesting map is shown, in the History of St. Mark's Parish by Phillip Slaughter, 1877, taken from a book of surveys, begun July 22, 1749, by George Washington when he was making a survey of the newly formed Culpeper County.

Many deeds and orders are recorded in early records of Spotsylvania, Orange, and Culpeper Counties which reveal activities of Isaac Norman and the members of his family. Among Isaac Norman's deeds are the following:
"April 7, 1730, 100 acres, a part of his patent of land of 1726 to John Read." John Read's daughter, Mary, married Isaac’s son Joseph.
Another deed of 1733 to Nathaniel Hillin and heirs was described as being part of the tract Isaac then lived on. Nathaniel Hillin's wife, Kesiah, was apparently Isaac's daughter. This land was later sold to Isaac's son, Courtney Norman.
Also, in 1733, 100 acres of Isaac Norman's grant was deeded "to James Turner, my son-in-law and Kerenhappuck Turner, my daughter." Later when the Turners sold this land it was described as being the land which Isaac Norman gave unto Turner on the marriage of his daughter. (Source: Deed Book E, Culpeper County).
It is evident that Isaac Norman helped his children to become established in this newly settled county. His sons Courtney and Isaac, Jr., received grants of land in 1728 and 1735. Son Joseph's grant was later in 1752.
In 1740 Isaac Norman and wife Frances deeded land to their son Joseph. The deed, in part, reads as follows:
"Between Isaac Norman and his wife and Joseph our son--in consideration of natural love and affection which we bear to this Joseph Norman our son do give,grant, and confirm all that part or parcel of land lying on the south side of Flat Run, containing 100 acres, more or less, being a part of a tract of land I live on, bounded between the land of James Turner, Nathaniel Hillin, and John Roberts and Flat Run.
In 1748 Isaac Norman deeded to James Turner of Prince William County 100 acres on the south side of Thorough Fare Mountain joining the land of Joseph Norman and Frances Browning. This land of Joseph's was a part of the original grant of 238 acres to his brother Courtney Norman, which he had sold to John Ashley and Ashley had later sold to Isaac and Joseph Norman. (Source: Deed Book 10, Orange County).
Isaac Norman in 1748 assigned and made over "to my dear and loving wife Frances Norman" one half of his personal estate of what kindsoever. The other half including his cattle, sheep, and hogs he deeded to his son-in-law, James Turner. At about the same time he deeded 24 acres, more or less, upon which he was then living to his son-in-law James Turner with the understanding that Frances his wife should be allowed to live on it and use it as much as she was able until her death. A few weeks later, James Turner deeded it to Joseph Norman, with the same understanding.
Orange County records include records of Isaac Norman as road overseer and as constable. May 2, 1732, he was appointed constable in place of John Read. Also, there are records of him appraising land, of the improvements of his land being valued in 1737, and of him serving on the jury in 1735. In 1733 Isaac Norman was discharged as overseer of the road from the mountain tract to Jonas Jenkins at the Great Mountain, and John Naul ordered to serve in his stead. (Source: Virginia Hist. Magazine 13, V 1366). In 1737 Isaac Norman and John Read made a report on roads and Robert Green was made an overseer of roads. Orange County records show. that in 1740 Isaac Norman, because of sickness, was given deputies to help him in his job as constable. He had taken Alex McQueen's office of constable in 1737.
