JEREMIAH (1) NORCROSS worshipped at All Hallows, Bread St., London where the births and marriages of his children were recorded. He first bought land in Charleston, Mass., after coming to America in 1638. He had 16 acres on the Charles River, bounded by the land of John Smith and Henry Curtis. He was a selectman in 1641. In 1642 he went to Watertown, Mass., as one of its first settlers. He bought 12 lots, and lived there the rest of his life. His will, probated 6 Oct. 1657 mentioned his wife Adrean, his son Richard with wife Mary, his son Nathaniel with wife Sarah, and his niece Anna Davis the daughter of his brother John. Jeremiah's family were well educated. His son the Rev. Nathaniel NORCROSS was graduated from St. Catherine's Hall, Cambridge University in 1636. Rev. Nathaniel came with his father to America but returned to England in 1649/50 and was rector of St. Dunstans in Eastminster. He died in London in 1662. His other son Richard NORCROSS was the first schoolmaster in Watertown, Mass., and must have had a good education. The descendants of Jeremiah form the New England NORCROSS lines.

Thomas Norcross was born ¹ about 1560. Thomas married ¹ Mary Chappell ¹ about 1585.

    Thomas NORCROSS, a London merchant in 1600, and a member of the Haberdashers Company, was the progenitor of the American Norcross lines. The Haberdashers' records which have been preserved, show that Thomas Norcross was freed from his apprenticeship by Geoffrey Proctor on 14 Dec. 1579. The usual custom was for an apprentice to be bound at the age of 14 to serve for seven years. Thomas' son John was freed by Patrimony (his father) on 12 Feb. 1611. He may not have served a full apprenticeship. The Norcross families of London lived in the Parishes of St. Dunstans, All Hallows, Bread St., and the Parish of Sunbury near London. A Thomas Norcross who lived in the Parish of St. Dunstans in West Fleet St., died in 1617 and was buried in St. Dunstans. He left money to the Ribchester Church in Lancashire. He may possibly be the Thomas Norcross mentioned above. Jeremiah Norcross, the son of Thomas worshipped at All Hallows, Bread St., where the records mention him as a clothworker, and give the births and marriages of his children.
     Thomas Norcross married about 1585 Mary Chappell, the daughter of William and Elizabeth (Bedell) ChappeU. Elizabeth Chappell had inherited property from her father Henry Bedell, of Essex County, England. This property descended to the children of Thomas and Mary Norcross, namely John and Jeremiah Norcross.
     Thomas and Mary Chappell Norcross had at least three children, John, Jeremiah, and Thomas Jr. Thomas Norcross Jr. died in London in 1620 and his estate was settled by his brother John. The Norcross families of London were evidently well-to-do, and valued education. One son of Jeremiah was educated at Cambridge, and the children of John were no doubt given some trade or college training.
     John and Jeremiah Norcross sailed for New England in 1638. John bought land in Cambridge, Mass. He returned to England after 1642 and died there. His grandson William Norcross, crossed the ocean in 1699 and founded the Pennsylvania and New Jersey branches of this family.
     Jeremiah Norcross bought land first in Charleston, Mass. In 1642 he moved to Watertown, and was among the first settlers there. He died at Watertown, Mass., in 1657. Jeremiah was the founder of the New England Norcross lines.
