On 17 Apr 1635, "Jo Browne," aged 40, was enrolled at London as a passenger on the Elizabeth.[3] On the same ship were James and Sarah Walker, servants of John Brown, baker. A 1655 deed identifies John Brown of Rehoboth as the uncle of this James and Sarah Walker, thereby making it likely that he is the John Browne also on that ship.

Will names daughter Mary, wife of Thomas Willett; grandchild Martha Saffin the wife of John Saffin; grandchildren Joseph, Nathaniel, Lydia, Hannah Browne; son James.

    The author has been working on this line for several volumes. The most likely origin via the latest research is the Brown's of Cheshire, England based on an armorial seal used by Jmaes2 Brown on a deed on 19 May 1668. The author then examines in detail all other possible origin theories published (or rejected for publication) and basically destroys them one by one in agonizing detail.
