Full essay

The standard account of the early generations in this family is William Bradford Browne, Chad Browne of Providence, R. I., and Four Generations of His Descendants, New England Historical and Genealogical Register 80 (1926): 73-86, 170-85. For the later generations in America, there is no authoritative treatment in print. As a result, I have produced a short version of a typical lineage study that gives extended treatment only to the later generations. Although I necessarily pursue only one child in each family from Eleazer forward, I also attempt to provide basic chronological information on all of my ancestors’ other children and their spouses.
