Hello,
I just typed in Norcross and found your information on rootsweb. My
grandmother was Mayberry Black d. of George Scott Black and Susan Tomlin.
George was the son of James C. Black and Sophia Norcross. I have never known
anything further and wondered if you could give me any other information. Do
you know any more than what you have written? Where was Rockbridge County,
VA. It is interesting that my grandmother had the first name Mayberry and
there was a child Willoughby Mayberry Black. Susan Tomlin Black was part
Indian. Can you clue me in on anything? Thanks so much in advance.
