Notes

!Will: Dated and probated 9 Oct 1683: Nuncupative will of Thomas Browne, Register of Probate, Salem, Mass. Widow, Mary, administrix. Names: Eldest son Thomas, sons Joseph, John, Daniel and Ebenezer, and daughter Norwood. He was buried in the Cedar Swamp cemetery. When the New London and Providence turnpike was built, the only access road to the cemetery was discontinued, so that there is no longer any access to this burying ground. Many early settlers of Stonington were buried there. Some headstones have been moved to Union Cemetery. Error: The Brown genealogy, Vol., 1, p. 9, states that he was the son of Nicholas Brown. However, in Volume 2, he states that this is not correct.
