Note: 2. JOHN2 BROWN (Chad1), born in England about 1629, died at Providence about 1706. He married at Providence MARY HOLMES, daughter of Obadiah and Catherine Holmes. In a deposition dated 9 Oct. 1664 he stated that his age was 35 years. In a deed of 1664 he is called a surveyor. In a deed of 1660 reference is made to "the field where John Browne his dwelling house now standeth near the Great Swamp." In 1706 his lands are mentioned "at ye head of ye second river which cometh in ye West River at ye north side thereof." Children, born at Providence: i. SARAH,3 m. 14 Nov. 1678 JOHN PRAY, son of Richard Pray. 6. ii. JOHN, b. 18 Mar. 1662. 7. iii. JAMES, b. in 1666. 8. iv. OBADIAH v. MARTHA, m. JOSEPH JENKS, son of Joseph Jenks. vi. MARY, m. ARTHUR AYLESWORTH vii. DEBORAH. *It is singular that Chad Browne brought but one child with him from England. Presumably several other children besides John were born in England between 1626 and 1638, and either died young or were left behind in the mother country. This family is the first of five families (several of which are contemporary) which included among the children's sons named John and Obadiah, a circumstance calling for extreme caution in order to classify the families correctly.
