BROWN.
A large majority of the people who have borne the name of BROWN in Andover were descended from two men who came from England to America, one in 1634, the other in 1635, and settled in Massachusetts. The larger number of Browns in town were descended from RICHARD, who was of Southampton, England. The members of the other branch of the family were descended from JOHN, who was of Scottish descent, but born in London.
For many years the members of the later generations have encount- ered difficulties in tracing their direct descent from their respective ancestors in this country. The principal confusion arose from a mar- riage in 1758. On Feb. 17, 1726, JONATIIAN, a direct descendant of JOHN Brown, m. in the 2d church in Salisbury, Mass., JOANNA ABBA, who d. Sept. 7, 1757, in Kensington, N. H. On Dec. 8, 1726, in the same church, JOSHUA, a direct descendant of RICHARD BROWN, m. JOANNA MORRILL. JOSHUA d. April 23, 1756. JONATHAN had ten children, and JOSHUA had, at least, eight. On Nov. 30, 1758, JONATHAN m. JOANNA, the widow of JOSHUA. Most of the confusion in tracing the ancestry centered about these marriages, mainly because the two wives bore the same Christian name. But no children were born after the second marriage, and the

two lines of descent still remained distinct. The pages immediately fol- lowing contain such data as could be found concerning the descendants of both RICHARD and JOHN.

George Brown, with his brother, and Mr. Noyes and his wife, settled first at Agawam, now Ipswich, Mass., but were residents of Newbury, Mass., in 1635.
