Some of the notes below refer to Joseph T. Norman, Nathan's great-great-great grandfather.
The chart at the top is an ancestry chart out to four generations. The chart at the bottom is the same chart as generated by TNG. The index of all individuals I have posted so far can be found here.

Note:
1740, The first record of Joseph Norman is a deed of September, in 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 Rappahanock River on the head branch of Battle Run, in or near the present county of 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.
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 corner in the line of Reverend John Thompson's lands near the Great Road. Later Pettit sold it to Strode.
1752, November 1, 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, 238 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. (Source: Deed Book M. page 244, Culpeper County.)
