    Notes:

    Jabez, according to his father, Thomas Browne's will, he was the eldest son. He was born in Concord in 1644 and died at Stow 17 July, 1692.

    He married first Hannah Blandford, in Sudbury 23 Dec. 1667. After her death, he remarried to Deborah Haines/Haynes, daughter of Sergeant Josiah Haines/Haynes and Elizabeth Noyes. Her sister, Abigail married Hopestill Browne, Esq., son of Deacon William Browne of Sudbury, and a first cousin of Jabez's.

    Jabez settled in Sudbury in 1667 where he sustained losses by fire set by the Indians during their assaults on Sudbury in 1676, King Philip's War. On January 20, 1776, to fight in the Revolutioanary War, the county of Middlesex was ordered to raise a regiment of 571 men. Concord furnished 36. John Robinson was Colonel; John Buttrick, Lieutenant-Colonel; and Jabez Brown was appointed Adjutant. He was admitted a freeman there in 1680.

    In 1681, 12 lots were listed as having been taken up in 1678 or 1679 in Stow. One lot went to Boaz Browne, his brother. Jabez Browne was granted a lot there in 1683 where he moved at that time. He was chosen Representative to the General Court in 1692 under the new charter.

    He was the second highest taxed in Stow, owing to the large amount of property he owned.

    Administration of the estate of Jabez Brown is found in the records of the Middlesex County Probate Court, Vol. 8, pp. 419-421 during the years 1692-1694. The widow, Deborah received one third of the estate. Thomas Browne, the eldest son received lands in Sudbury, Lancaster and Stow to the value of thirty pounds. Jabez, Jr. received land and houses to the value of twenty pounds. The eldest daughter, Mary received property to the value of twenty pounds as did the youngest daughter, Sarah and youngest son, Josiah.

    After his Jabez's death, his widow, Deborah and son, Thomas received a letter from Jabez' son-in-law, Mary's second husband, John Gove of Cambridge, who called her, "my sister Brown" and offered to sign their administration bond on Sept. 29, 1692.

    Thomas and Bridget, his parents, removed to Concord from Sudbury by 1640. Their children where born in Concord but after Bridget died on Jan. 5, 1681, Thomas then removed to Cambridge where he died on Nov. 3, 1688.

    The "Mayflower DescendantsThrough Five Generations" William White/Vol. 13, published by the Mayflower Society, claims that Deborah Haynes was the mother of Thomas. In the family history researched by Dorothy H. Kelso of Duxbury, MA in her book, "Hard Hands and Brawny Conciences" she claims that Thomas was the son by Jabez's first wife, Hannah Blandford. No birth records for Thomas have been found.
