BROWN The early ancestors of the fan- ily herein described spelled the name with the final "c." or at least the town clerks and parish registers employed that spelling. In the later genera- tions the present form has been adopted. This family was early identified with the settle- ment of various New England and Central New York towns, and has sent out from those states sturdy representatives who confer credit upon their parentage and nativity. .
(I) Edward and Jane (Lide) Browne lived and died in the parish of Inkburrow, Worces- tershire, England. The latter was a daughter of Thomas Lide.
(II) Nicholas, son of Edward and Jane (Lide) Browne, settled at Lynn, Massachu- setts, before 1628, and was one of the early planters of that town, residing in what is now Saugus, on the northwestern side of Saddler's Rock. He had two hundred ten acres granted by the town, west of the "Great River." He was made freeman in 1638, and served as deputy to the general court in 1641. In 1644 he removed to Reading, where he had a grant of two hundred acres from the town, and settled first on the east side of the Great Pond. He owned other lands in Reading and Lynn, including three hundred twenty-seven acres on the north side of Ipswich river, granted by Reading. In 1650 he was made a com- missioner to try small causes, and was deputy. to the general court in 1655-56 and 1661, and also served as selectman the same years. He was heir to the Lide property in England, and in 1660 sent his son, described in an Indian deed as "ve worshipful Mr. John Browne," to England, to look after the property. Nich- olas Browne died in Reading in 1673, and his estate was valued at £1,232 9s. He was prob- ably married before coming to America, and the christian name of his wife was Elizabeth. Both were admitted to the First Church of Reading. February 6, 1663. Children of rec- ord: John, Edward, Joseph, Sarah, Cornelius, Josiah and Elizabeth.
(III) Thomas Brown, born 1628, is sup- posed to have been the son of Nicholas and Elizabeth Browne, born at Lynn, as shown by a deposition made by him in 1666. He re- sided in Lynn, where a record of his nun- cupative will, made October 9. 1683, was filed August 28, 1693, and his widow was made executrix. He was a dish turner by occupa- tion. and was of Groton. Massachusetts, in June, 1663, when he bought a house and lot of six acres in Lynn. He probably returned to Lynn about this time. He married, about 1653-4, Mary Newhall. born about 1637, youngest child of Thomas and Mary New- hall, pioneer settlers of Lynn. Children : Thomas, Mary (died young), Sarah (died young), Joseph, Sarah. Jonathan (died young ). John, Mary, Jonathan. Eleazer, Ebe- nezer. Daniel (died young). Ann and Grace (twins), and Daniel.

He was appointed special deputy attorney general by the gover- nor of the state in 1890, for the prosecution of the sheriff of Madison county, which re- sulted in the latter's removal by the gover- nor and in changing the office from a feed to a salaried position.

(The Babcock Line).
This name was introduced from England in various forms such as Badcock, Badcooke, Badcoke, Badcook. The early settlers usually spelled it Badcock, which is the form in gen- eral use in England at the present time. It is identified with the pioneer settlement of many sections in the United States, and has been conspicuous in every department of human activity.

(I) James Babcock was born in England, in 1612, probably in county Essex, and died June 12, 1679.

He had a grant of land: was admitted a freeman July 10, 1648; was juryman several times, and assessor in 1650; was on a com- mittee to treat with the Indians and on other important committees for the town, and was a member of the general court in 1657-58-59. He was on a committee to lay out highways and settle boundary lines in 1661. He re- moved to Westerly, Rhode Island, in March, 1662, and had lot 52 in the new town. His name appears on a petition to the general court for protection from the men of South- ertown, Connecticut, an adjoining town. He was in constant trouble with the Pequot In- dians, and was brought into court on a charge of driving them off their planting ground. In 1678 he was baptized by Elder William His- cox, and united with the Seventh Day Bap- tist Church of Newport and Westerly. He made a nuncupative will to his sons John and Job. June 12, 1679, and they appeared before the governor of Rhode Island, September 17, 1679, and testified to the truth of the will. His first wife, Sarah, died 1665: his second, Elizabeth, married ( second) September 22, 1679, William Johnson.

(II) John, second son of James and Sarah Babcock, was born 1644, in Portsmouth, and died at Westerly, Rhode Island. 1685. Tra- dition says that he and his wife eloped and settled upon the east bank of the Paweatuck river, but this is not reliable : in fact, is known to be untrue. He was among the early set- tlers of Westerly, when about eighteen years old. He received the twenty-seventh lot, on the banks of the Pawcatuck, near what is now Avondale, Rhode Island. It is said that he was in the Great Swamp fight in King Philip's war, and he received land for his services in the war from the colony of Connecticut. His name appears in the Stonington militia. He was admitted a freeman of Connecticut in 1676, when that state claimed the town of
Westerly, and was deputy to the general court in 1682-84. He died intestate, and his estate was disposed of by the town council, June 25, 1685.

He was a minor in 1698, when he chose his brother as his guardian. In 1715 he owned one hundred and thirty aeres of land in Westerly, which he mortgaged for a loan of fioo granted by the colony without interest. He also owned land in Voluntown, which he inherited from his father and sold in 1749. He was made a freeman May 1, 1716, and was deputy to the general court in 1730-34-37-38-52. He is frequently referred to in the records as Col- onel Oliver. He was captain in 1735, when he was a member of a commission to create a new harbor in Westerly by turning the river into the largest salt water pond. This was probably found impracticable, as the work was never done. In the same year he was on a committee to lay out twenty acres on which to build a meeting house for the Indians. He was also on a committee to provide a bridge over the Pawcatuck river. In 1757 the town of Hopkinton was set off from Westerly, and Colonel Babcock's home was in the latter town.
