These mill stones were first used in King and Queen County in the water-powered grist mill established near Mascot by James Trice who came from England in 1673 and is credited with starting the Trice family.

Forrest Norman salvaged the mill stone from the ruins of the Trice Mill and used them in his gasoline-powered grist mill near Mascot until the Norman Mill was discontinued about 1963.

Loanded by Mr. Robert F. Norman, cousin of Forrest Norman, and Mrs. Norman.
