Francis Browne
(1610 - 13 Apr 1668)
From the Genealogical Register of the Descendants in the Male Line of David Atwater, One of the Original Planters of New Haven, Conn., to the Sixth Generation, 1873:
“Francis Brown came with the 50 men reported as passengers on the ship Hector and Consort who arrived at Boston on June 26, 1637. In September of that year, he came to Connecticut with the Eaton and Davenport colony, which settled New Haven, and was one of the seven men left there to pass the winter of 1637-8, the remainder of the party returning to Boston to return with their families the following spring. In the division of land, Francis Brown was on of the ‘Seven’ who ‘dwelt on the bank side’ (East Water street fronting the harbor). He was a tailor by trade, and for a time operated the ferry at Red Rock over the ‘East’ River.”
