Richard was a shoemaker in Weston, adjacent to Watertown.
Richard Norcross, the second son of Richard, married in 1686 Rose Woodward by whom he had three
children. He married again in 1690 Hannah Sanders. He was a shoemaker and settled in Weston, which
had been set off from Watertown.

when 83 years old. He died in 1745, aged 85, in Durham.
