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.

JOSEPH NORMAN (Isaac)

Born in early 1700's, married 1st Mary Read circa 1730, daughter of John and Winifred Favior Read. 2nd m. Sarah (last name Everett according to tradition). Died 1784, Will dated 1783, probated Feb. 16, 1784, Culpeper County.

The first record of Joseph Norman is a deed of September, 1740, which his father and mother, Isaac and Frances Norman, deeded land to him. This land was a part of that on which Isaac Norman lived on Flatt Run. In 1745, Joseph Norman bought seventy acres of land from John Ashley with the houses, garden, orchard, etc. This land was in the Little Fork of the Rappahannock. It was near land of his brother-in-law, Francis Browning on the side of a mountain (Source: Deed Book 10, Orange Co.). Later in 1751, Joseph and wife Sarah deeded it to Francis Browning.

In 1748 Joseph Norman received from his brother-in-law James Turner another portion of his father's land on Flatt Run. In 1771 Joseph and wife Sarah deeded 146 acres, land received from his father's homeplace upon which he had been living, to Pettit. (Source: Deed Book F, Culpeper Co.). This property was described as beginning at a comer in the line of Reverend John Thompson's lands near the Great Road. Later Pettit sold it to Strode.

On November 1, 1752, Hon. Thomas Lord Fairfax granted Joseph Norman of Culpeper County, a certain tract of waste and ungranted land in the said county in the Little Fork of the Rappahannock River near Hickman's Mountain, 236 acres.

Joseph Norman bought 219 acres from Col. Charles Carter which was a part of Col Carter's Mount Pony Tract. This land crossed Mountain Run and was his homeplace when he died. He conveyed it to his sons Thomas and John in his will of 1783. John Norman sold his part to his brother Thomas. This land lay by the edge of the low grounds on the north side of Mountain Run and crossed Mt. Run. The deed showed that Joseph Norman's home was on the south side of Mt. Run.
