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 . 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
Towlson. 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.

On May 2, 1732, he was appointed constable in place of John Read. On
May 1, 1733, he was discharged as overseer of the road from the
mountain tract to Jonas Jenkins at the Great Mountain. A petition
dated May 17, 1746 stated that Isaac Norman had served as constable
of Orange County, and that he was sick and unable to work and
deputies were appointed to help him. He very probably died in 1748.
