    Thomas Brown. 1645-1709. Son of William. Born May 22, 1645. Was adopted as son by his maternal grandfather Thomas Besbedge. He married Sept. 29, 1667, Patience, daughter of Hopestill Foster. He married (2) March 1, 1704, Mary, daughter of Deputy-Governor Thomas Danforth and widow of Solomon Phipps of Cambridge. He was representative from Sudbury for several sucessive terms. Commanded a company of horse in Indian war. The "old Browne garrison" at Sudbury was probably built by him. He died May 17, 1709. Judge Sewall writes: "Monday May 9, 1709. Major Thomas Brown Esqre. of Sudbury was buried in the old burying place [identified in the footnotes as King's Chapel].

    The will of Thomas Brown made his grandson, Jonathan Willard, his heir, and among other bequests, gave his lands and tenements in England to be divided equally among his seven daughters: Mary Willard, Thankful Hubbard, Patience Rice, Elizabeth Bent, Silence Herds, Hannah Brown and Eunice Brown.
