Notes |
- John Browne was described in his father's will as a "stubborne, disobedient child --- a rebellious son to me." He moved from Reading to Weston, Massachusetts, then to Killingly, Connecticut in 1711. Killingly land records, vol. 1, p. 135, show Abiel Lamb selling property to John Brown(e) on 13 December 1718: two parcels, for £170: one hundred acres with house and other buildings, "bounded southerly by Deacon Aleazer Bateman, easterly by beaver swamp, northerly by John Grover, westerly by horse hill," and another 47 acres on Horse or Chestnut Hill, "bounded south by Stephen Grover, east by Deacon Eleazer Bateman and Joseph Coorl, north by Thomas Grover, west on common land." 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. There is some question as to whether John Brown(e) was married a second time, to Mary, and if the John Brown born in 1728 is his son.
