| Notes |
Admitted as freeman at Watertown, MA Mar. 6, 1631/2. He appears in the town records in various public positions from 1634 to 1647, notably those associated with survey work and land distribution. His lands inventory (1694) amounted to 191 acres in 5 parcels. The home lot of Abraham BROWNE passed to his grandson Capt. Abraham BROWN, and the home as rebuilt by the latter remained in the family for over 200 years, and is currently owned and operated by the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities. Will filed Oct. 1, 1650, Middlesex Co., MA. His estate was not settled until Jan. 22, 1693/4 when it was divided between five claimants, with a double portion going to the estate of Jonathan, eldest son of Abraham. The original will has not been located, but the settlement provisions were apparently in disregard to its terms as summarized in an abstract found in the County Court (1670).

The Mary (Browne) who married John Lewis in 1650 is the daughter of Abraham Browne, Sr. and Lydia/Lidea ( ? ) Browne Hodges. Abraham & Lydia Browne came from England on Winthrop's Fleet in 1630-1. Abraham Browne Sr. born 1585 in England, died in 1650 in Watertown, MA. His will & settlement pleas appears in Middlesex Co. Probate Records, Vol. 1, pgs. 21 - 24. It includes wife Lydia and daughter Mary Browne in the 1650 will and the heirs of Isaac Lewis in the 1691 land settlement. Abraham Browne's wife Lydia Browne later married Andrew Hodges. Their son Abraham Browne, Jr., born 1639-40 died 1667 Watertown, MA, m. 1663 Mary (Dix). She remarried ca. 1670 to Samuel Rice of Marlborough, MA. I am a descendant of Mary (Dix) Browne, daughter of Edward Dix, through her second marriage to Samuel Rice. Cindy |
