Biography
According to family historian Don Norman[1]:
John Norman, a son of James and Mary (Nedley) Norman, was born in 1798. On October 24, 1816, John Norman, a shoemaker by trade, married Nancy Montgomery in Randolph County VA (WV). Nancy died about 1840 and John married Orinda Holbert, February 1, 1842, in Lewis County VA (WV). By 1860 John Norman had moved to Lewis County VA (WV), where on June 11, 1860, near Weston, census taker Alfred H. Jackson recorded John's family.
Little else is known of John Norman. His wife, Orinda owned land on Polk Creek, Lewis County VA (WV) near Weston. A John Norman is buried beside James Norman in the Meadows Cemetery, near Normantown WV. It may be he.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

That John Norman born 1794 is the son of a JOHN Norman and wife Mary. So not the same John Norman who was son of JAMES Norman and Mary Nedley. So it is a possibility but raises a question that needs further research.
