Hi;
Sorry to take so long to get back to you.
I am descended from william Norcross, who came to
this country in 1699. He had two sons, who settled in
Burlington City. Later, in 1759, one of the sons, William,
bought property a few miles south of Tansboro, which later became Hopewell Cemetery, which is still being used today.
William was on the staff of George Washington, and is the
ancestor of all the Norcrosses in the Winslow area.
The other brother settled out to Mt. Holly and Medford area. He is my direct (?)grandfather.Uriah Norcross, a
descendant of William, set the first Stagecoach route
from Philadelphia to Absecon in 1830. two Norcrosses in the
1850 and 1860 censuses were drivers.
Our society has the complete census records from 1830 through 1930, if you would want more information.
It's a plesure making your acquaintance. If you live in the Winslow Township, you are cordially invited to our meetings,which are held the first Monday Night of each
Month at 7:00 PM at the Bud Duble Senior Center, 33 Cooper's Folly Road, which runs between Rt.73 and Rt.30
in Atco, about 3 miles below Berlin.
Have a good day
Bob Christine
