I know I'm a little late responding, but I am a Norcross descendant. I'm currently in Richmond, Virginia, but the rest of the Norcross family (at least my branch of it) is located in Maine and other various parts of New England.
I've been able to trace my family back as far as Thomas Norcrosse (spelling?) from Ribchester, England (born around 1558). Not sure who far back we can go prior to that, but I was able to find his wife and her parents (Mary Elizabeth Beddell and her parents William and Elizabeth.)
Hoping to reach out to other Norcross members.
I am related to the same line, and particularly form the Norcross' that went to ME. I am David Copeland Norcross IV directly related to the Norcross' from Farmington ME and area. Which line did you come from after the Norcross' got to ME?

THANKS for all the good hints! And yes, Henry was a vicar, not a bishop..and a disgraced one at that. When we were there this summer, a local contact gave me a copy of the charges against him, and sad to say, he really disgraced himself! We saw many places with connections to the Norcross line, including what is left of a town which was named Norcross, which is located near Carleton off Fleetwood Road near Poulton-le-Fylde. The church at Ribchester is lovely, and right next to it, excavations of the ruins of a Roman camp are ongoing, plus right next door, there is a small but very nice museum of items that have been found there. I have joined the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society and yes, Thomas Norcrosse was born in Alston in Dilworth..but he lived from 1558-1617. It was his son who came to America in 1633 (my 9th great grandfather). Again, thanks for all the clues...and after Christmas will work on those! Cerelle
Hi Cerelle. I am related to the same line, and particularly form the Norcross' that went to ME. I am David Copeland Norcross IV directly related to the Norcross' from Farmington ME and area. Which line did you come from after the Norcross' got to America?

Hi....I am David Copeland Norcross IV and am directly related to the same line as you and am from the Norcross' from Farmington ME and that area. I have lots of genealogy back from this family. What line in ME are you descended from?
