John Browne moved from Reading to Weston, Massachusetts, then to Killingly, Connecticut in 1711.

Witnesses were Samuel Winter, David Church (town clerk), and Mary Church. These parcels are in eastern Killingly. The "Oldest Killingly Burial Ground" is in Putnam, on old Killingly Road, the first path cut through this region. There may be Browns there; other Browns are certainly in the Baptist Grave Yard.
