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.
