"John (Brown), b. about 1640 according to his age at death, but about 1644 according to various depositions ('about 30' in 1674); m. in 1677 Hannah _____. He was probably the John Brown of Ipswich who saw service in King Philip's war. He remained with his parents until his father's death, when he married a girl to whom his father had been opposed. In 1679 his brother Nathaniel said that his father had talked to him about the woman who was now John's wife, that he had told his father that she was a very suitable person but that his father had said that he was not willing John should marry her. He inherited the paternal farm and was also a house-carpenter. In 1684 he bought the Bishop farm and conveyed one-third of it to his son William in 1714 and two-thirds to his son James in 1721. He made other small gifts of land to his sons William, John and Nathaniel, and on Nathaniel's death in 1719 his brothers and sisters agreed that his land should revert to their father. In a deed to William in 1707, John Brown's wife Elizabeth released dower, but this was probably an error of the scrivenor. John Browne died April 9, 1727, in his 88th year (gravestone) but aged 84 (town record). Hannah Browne, widow of 'farmer John Browne,' died Nov. 19, 1727 (town record), but March 17, 1727, in her 76th year (gravestone)."
