    "John Brownson, of Earl's Colne, co. Essex, England, yeoman, born perhaps ca. 1540-1550, buried as "John Brownson senr," at Earl's Colne, 4 Feb. 1622/3. Possibly he may have been a son of a Cornelius Brownson who lived at Earl's Colne in the mid-1550's, and a brother of "Priscilla dau. of Cornelys Brownson" who was baptized at Earl's Colne 12 May 1560. The use of the given name Cornelius was continued in this family. No will or record of administration of the estate of John Brownson has been found. He married, first, by 1576, Joan -----, who was buried at Earl's Colne, 11 Feb. 1616/17. He married secondly, at Earl's Colne, 19 May 1617, "Mathen" Taylor, who was buried at Earl's Colne 6 Sept. 1622."

    Note that another source indicates that the will of Elizabeth Hovell, widow, mentions both her son John Brownson of Earls Colne and her daughter Priscilla Brownson, making it highly probable that John Brownson was the son of Cornelius Brownson.

    'Archdeaconry of Colchester:
    Original will, vol. 2, folio 273:
    Elizabeth Hovell of St. Giles, Colchester, widow, 24 Oct 1587.
    To John Brownson my son dwelling in Earls Colne ...
    To Priscilla Brownson my daughter ...'

    This will substantiates the speculation that John Brownson was a brother of Priscilla Brownson, and thus a son of Cornelius Brownson.

  4. ↑ Birth year estimated based on the christening dates of his children and his sister Priscilla, and on the fact that his mother appears to have had at least one child by another marriage (son Lancelot Dirrick).
