Dorothy was born in England and married John Brown by 1630. They sailed to America in 1632 with two servants James and Sarah Walker, possibly the children of Widow Walker, making John Brown or Dorothy, unknown, a sibling to Widow unknown Walker or her husband.

Notes

Birth

Birth year is an estimate.

Arrival

The Great Migration source has John Browne arriving in America with James and Sarah Walker, his nephew and niece, probably children of Widow Walker, siblings of Philip Walker. So Dorothy and children arrived at a different time, they're not on the passenger list with John and Walker children.

Will

Dorothy and her husband left parcels of books in their wills. Dorothy also left daughter Lydia a silk petticoat

Death

Dorothy may or may not have been 98 years old: Mrs. Dorothy Brown the wife of Mr. John Brown Senior deceased the twenty seventh day of January 1673 being the ninety and eighth year of her age or thereabouts and was buried upon the 29 of January 1673

Burial

Dorothy died and was buried in Swansea, Massachusetts, now a part of East Providence, Rhode Island, I guess.
