John Norcrosse is listed in the records of the Haberdashers Company of London as a member of that Guild. He was apprenticed with his father.
The brothers John and Jeremiah Norcrosse migrated with some members of their family, we are not completely certain as to who came and who was left behind, sometime between in 1633 and 1638 to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. We have assumed 1638 based on the limited evidence available.
John was certainly accompanied by his daughter Anna Norcrosse Davis and her husband. John purchased 22 acres of land in Cambridge and lived there until 1642 when he returned to England leaving his daughter and son-in-law behind in America. His son Thomas either came and returned with his father, or had never left England, and it was the son of this Thomas William Norcrosse who became a Quaker and immigrated to the William Penn Colony in America in 1699 starting what we call the "John Branch" of the Norcross family in America.
