Norman, William - is the son of Joseph
Norman and Joseph's first wife, Mary Read. He is the grandson of Isaac Norman
and Frances Courtney of Virginia. He was born in Culpeper County, Virginia about
1750.
William enlisted in the Virginia Continental Line on February 1, 1776, and
served for a period of two years. He was a private in Captain George
Stubblefield's company, 5th Virginia Regiment, which was commanded by
Lt. Colonel Josiah Parker. In June 1776, he was transferred to Captain Philip
Richard Francis Lee's company, 3rd Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col. Thomas
Marshall and in Brigadier General George Weeden's celebrated Virginia Brigade.
On September 11, 1777, William was dangerously wounded at the Battle of
Brandywine. He was shot through both knees and was crippled for life as a result
of these injuries. General Lafayette was wounded in the same
battle. William Norman told his children and grandchildren that he was standing
near the General when he received the wound, and that the Marquis had dismounted
and was endeavoring to rally the troops at the time. By the intervention of
General Lafayette in the military hospital, William Norman's legs were not
amputated; the General's attention having been attracted "by the patient's
stubborn resistance to the surgeons." The British bullet and a piece of
bone from William's knee were kept as souvenirs in the Norman family for some
150 years.
William C. Norman recalls seeing them in his grandfather's home (William
Sheppard Norman, son of George Norman) in Hamburg, Arkansas. According to
William's daughter Sarah, William Norman always observed
the anniversary of the Battle of Brandywine and celebrated it. His name last
appears on the payroll on February 16, 1778. From September 1777 to January
1778, he was reported as absent and wounded. The military records do not show
the date of his separation from service.
William Norman was a part of the mass migration that made its way to Georgia
after the war along with many Virginia families. He traveled south from Fauquier
County, through Virginia and the Carolinas on the Fall Line
Road, probably by horseback and oxen drawn wagons, stopping along the way for a
season to grow crops. He settled in that part of Wilkes County, GA that in 1796
became Lincoln County.
Adventuring into a new life, seeking new land, he established his Norman family
in Georgia where many of his descendants still live. He did not acquire great
wealth nor seek public office. Apparently he lived a
comfortable life as a planter and gentleman. His was the pioneer spirit
that is still part of Georgians today.
William is buried in the Goshen community near Lincolnton, GA along with his
son, George, his son-in-law, David Glaze and daughter Susannah Norman Glaze. In
1977 a marker was placed at his gravesite by the Norman Family Association
listing known persons, and giving honor to the unknown persons buried there. The
gravesite is located deep in the woods accessible only by a logging road.

Rountree, Job, SR - Job was the son of
William Rountree of Edgecombe Co., NC. Job is named in William's estate
settlement. Job was living in SC in the Barnwell/Orangeburg District when the
Revolutionary War began. Job, SR and his sons were at the siege of Augusta, and
Job, SR and his son Shadrack were captured by the
British and taken down the Savannah River on a Prison ship and both died at
Savannah Harbor presumably aboard the prison ship. The documented proof is in a
sworn statement on a pension application of an ancestor of a friend, who found
the documenting the Barnwell County records. The same information is found on
Job, Jr's application for Revolutionary War Service, but he does not mention the
names of his father and brother. The two applications together provide the
necessary proof. It is known that Job, JR. was only 14 years old when he entered
the service of the American cause, which was about the time of the Seige of
Augusta. [The foregoing information came from: Copies that cousin, Tom Patrick,
Tampa, Florida shared with me some years ago. Tom had received the information
that he copied from Jennings Rountree, a researcher, and cousin who lives in
Elko, SC. Jennings has done extensive research on the Rountree family of NC and
SC. The information goes back to Moses Rountree 1550-1621 Yorkshire, England who
married Melvina York 1572, who was born 1556 and died 1624 in Yorkshire,
England. The lines goes like this: Moses; William; Joseph; John; Francis
(London, Eng. to Ireland and to VA.); Francis NC; William Edgecombe NC; Job, SR;
Job, JR; William; and my line is William's daughter Mary who married Jennings
Fleetwood Futch in Barnwell Co., SC. That couple moved to Pulaski County, GA
after the Civil War. [information submitted by Gloria Holback, gggg
granddaughter of Job Rountree, JR and ggggg granddaughter of Job, SR. who died
aboard a British prison ship in Savannah Harbor. ]
