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.
