THE BROWN STORY
THE BROWNS SAIL TO AMERICA
(1)Abraham BROWN
Abraham was born before 1620 at England and he died 1650 at Windsor, CT..
Abraham Browne: According to Charles Edward Banks in his book "The Winthrop
Fleet of 1630", Abraham came to America with the 600 to 700 souls that
made the trip in 1630. He probably arrived about June of that year, and
debarked in Massachusetts near the Massachusetts Bay Colony and settled
for a time in Watertown, Mass. He was sworn in as a FREEMAN in Boston,
6 Mar. 1631/32. It would probably be appropriate to assume that Abraham
and his family came with the HOOKER migration of 1635 to the Hartford vicinity
in Connecticut. Records, although scant, appear in Windsor and Farmington
Connecticut archives.
Abraham married Elizabeth(Lydia) probably in Watertown soon after his
arrival. His wife, according to Mr. Banks was named Lydia, and they were
reported to have had 2 children before the end of 1632. Elizabeth or Lydia
was born before 1620 at England and she died in 1674 at Farmington, CT.
She was called Elizabeth in a GENSERVE data base authored by Una Powell
in her GENSERV database named powo7ea.
