        From History of the Culpeper County Normans:
        According to tradition in various branches of the Norman family, Isaac Norman had a daughter Isabel. The following information is taken from "The Jones Family" in History of Patrick and Henry Counties:
        "David Jones (1679) came from Wales and entered land where the city of Baltimore now stands. His grandson Joshua Jones married Isabel Norman."

        Decatur Jones of this Jones family had a daughter, Kate, who married Joseph Morehead of Greensboro, N. C. Another Benjamin Jones had a daughter, Sallie, who married William H. Norman. In Will Book E., Culpeper County, is recorded the nuncupative will of Isabel Jones of June 28, 1803.
