1886. Monroe County.

SIMEON T. NORMAN was born May 1, 1828, in Monroe County, Ky., near his 
present residence.  At the age of twenty-one years he went to Texas 
County, Mo., where he remained for about six months, when he returned to 
Monroe Courty for a short time, and then went to Illinois on a trading 
trip.  The next year he spent largely in Indiana.  The remainder of his 
life has been spent in Monroe County, except a short period passed in 
Alabama.  His father, Caleb Norman, was born October 12, 1800, in North 
Carolina. At the age of about twelve years he removed to Monroe County; 
first to the portion which was then a part of Cumberland and later to 
the farm on which is located "Rock Bridge" over the head waters of 
Little Creek. He was the son of William Norman, who was born about 1775 
in North Carolina.  He came West at a very early day, probably about 
1812, and was among the first settlers of Monroe County.  He was by 
trade a millwright, and for several yers owned and operated a mill on 
the waters of Rockbridge of Little Creek.  He was a son of William S. 
Norman, who was born while his parents were crossing the ocean.  Caleb 
Norman married, about 1819, Sarah, daughter of George Bushong.  From 
this union sprung five sons and two daughters, of whom Simeon T. is the 
fifth child.  He married April 25, 1852, Nancy, daughter of Thomas and 
Elizabeth (Payne) White, of Monroe County. She was born July 18, 1831.  
To them have been born Galespa, Ingram T., Sarah E. (deceased), Martha 
E., Lindsey D., and Malinie A.  Mr. Norman is a natural arithmetician 
and a first-rate mental calculator.  He has by his own ability and 
industry become the possessor of nearly 500 acres of good land.  He is a 
member of the Christian Church, and in politics is an unswerving 
Democrat.  He is a self-made man, and is numbered among the solid men of 
his section.
