Yet more on John Browne

Here is more on the line of John from sources found on Google Books
Browne
Of these the most considerable, that of the viscounts of Montague was an offset of the famous house of La Ferte who held the barony of Le Ferte near Evreaux in Normandy. Richard de le Ferte, accompanied Robert of Normandy to Palestine in 1096 and youngest son Gamel, surnamed le Brun, settled in Cumberland where he had baronial grants from Waldeve FitzGospatric and his descendants long flourished, the name gradually changing to Broyne, Broun, and Browne. Anthony, youngest son of Robert le Broun, knight of the shire of Cumberland 1317-1339, settled in London, became a rich merchant and was created Knight of the Bath at the coronation of Richard II as reward for having lent him a very large sum of money, then generously cancelling the bond. He left two sons, Sir Robert and Sir Stephen. Sir Stephen would become Lord Mayor of London
Sir Robert Browne
Sir Thomas Browne of Beechworth, Surrey, knight, treasurer of the houshold to Henry VI and married Ellen Fitz Allan, daughter of Thomas, 3rd son of Lord Matrevere
William m mary Mallet, dau. of Sir William Mallet
This William had the son who reportedly went to Tavistock.
I haven't yet included this in my tree.
Another interesting note is that William and John had an uncle, called Brute(nickname, Christian name unknown) Brown, a master on Sir Francis Drake's who died off the coast of Porto Rico in a battle with the Spanish. He would have been a brother to their father Thomas, a seaman. John and the Samuel who were in New England were associated with shipping.

John Browne origins

John Browne, in his daughter's biography, mentioned being imprisoned a couple of times. A John Browne was imprisoned at Marshalsea in the early 1600s after having attempted to escape England, under an alias. Since he was a nonconformist and did eventually manage to make it to Holland, this could be one of his incarcerations. There is another mention of an imprisonment in 1617 of a John Browne of a felony who was supposed to have been turned over for transport to the east Indies, he was pardoned from being executed as his felony was not due to burglary, theft or murder. Not sure which one this is or if this John was transported anywhere. Another John Browne reference was to a John Browne sent to a Dutch ship fishing off the English coast to speak to the captain and notice that he was wanted for arrest in Holland.

John Browne of Rehobeth origins according to his daughter

In the biography of Mary Browne she states that her father was the brother of the writer William of Tavistock. A Brydges pedigree, uncovered, places his pedigree as such:
William Browne, second son of Sir William of Beachworth Surrey
John Browne who went to Tavistock and married daughter of Grills of Devonshire
Thomas Browne who married daughter of Carlslake of Devonshire
John Browne, second son, married Mary Amidas
Thomas Browne who married Joane Healen
John, the second son (immigrant ancestor)

Horatio Gates Somerby

If you have a family line attributed to this man, such as those of the Brownes of Watertown, the Blakes, Whitneys or Hookers, remove them from your tree. The Blakes, Whitneys and Brownes have been completely discredited and the Hooker line doesn't agree with extant records in the area of Thomas Hooker's family. It's too bad that the Somerby genealogies are still circulating and still offered for sale.

Reverend Thomas Hooker

There are two lines presented here. One which was introduced by Edward Hooker at a family reunion in the 19th century was created by the legendary and discredited Somerby, a genealogist whose creations seem to have been as suspect as Anjou. He reported that no records of Hookers existed in Leicester, and that John of Marfield died in London and connected him to Roger of Exeter. While he may have been related to the celebrated ecclesiastical family of Richard Hooker, and there have been hints of that, what Somerby didn't apparently reveal was that the parish records for the parish of Tilton went missing for the years prior to 1610, records of the death of his parents and his brother John who mentions his NEPHEWS Samuel and John (not cousins as Somerby had stated) died and was buried at marsfield. Haven't been able to confirm the connection to Kenelm but since Cotton was a close friend of Hooker and espouses this connection, he could only have obtained that information from Thomas, one would think.
There doesn't appear to be any basis to Somerby's presentation of the line of Hooker. Like Anjou, he was known to have created prestigious lines for generous clients.

Hannah Luddington m George Brickhouse

Okay, so explain to me how Hannah Luddington in Massachusetts would marry George Brickhouse in Virginia??? HMMM???
Hannah's father, in Virginia, so far as is known is William married to Gartraude/Gertrude. NOT the Massachusetts Luddington

John Hoyt, immigrant, Amesbury; m Frances

I've found John, on one site, connected to Simon Hoyte who arrived with his family from Upway Dorset. England. But it would appear that John, son of Simon went with his father to Connecticut as he is recorded there in town records. So unless he was an early bigamist riding back and forth between Amesbury and Connecticut, as it stands at this point, he isn't the same John. So, we keep looking for Amesbury John's origins in England.
