Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Crouce family history? The name Crouce comes from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It was a name for a brave or fierce person. The surname Crouce is derived from the Old English words crus or cruse. Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name Crouce has undergone many spelling variations, including Cruise, Cruice, Crouse, Cruse, Cruize, Crouce and others. First found in Bedfordshire , where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Crouce were among those contributors: James, John, Patrick, and William Cruice all settled in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1865; Edward, Patrick, Peter, and Thomas Cruise settled in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1865..
