- DEATH: 1633, probably in the autumn when a sickness was spreading thro ugh Plymouth.
Peter Browne's English origins were discovered in 2004, when I publishe d the results of my research into his origins in The American Genealogi st, 79(July 2004):161-178. Peter Browne was baptized in Dorking, Surrey , England on 26 January 1594/5, the son of William Browne. The Browne f amily appears to have had several associations with the Mullins family o f Dorking, who also came on the Mayflower. Peter Browne's brother John B rowne came to Plymouth Colony about 1632 and settled in Duxbury, the ne xt town just to the north of Plymouth. John Browne was baptized in Dork ing on 29 June 1600.
On 12 January 1621, Peter Browne and John Goodman had been cutting that ch for house roofing all morning. They ate some meat and went for a sho rt walk to refresh themselves, when their two dogs (an English mastiff a nd a English spaniel) spied a great deer and gave chance. Peter and Joh n followed and quickly got lost. They wandered around the entire aftern oon in the rain, and spent the night in a tree (and pacing back and for th under it) fearing that they had heard lions roaring in the woods. Th e next day they made their way up a hill, spotted the Bay, reoriented t hemselves, and made it back home to an extremely worried Colony that ha d already sent out two exploring parties in an attempt to find them.
In a partial list of the house locations of the Pilgrims made out in 16 20, John Goodman and Peter Browne appear to have been neighbors on the s outh side of the Street and the ocean side of the Highway. Peter Browne w as apparently still living there during the 1623 Division of Land. By a bout 1626, he married Martha Ford, who arrived as one of the only femal e passengers on the ship Fortune in 1621. She gave birth almost immedia tely after arriving, but husband Ford apparently died during the voyage o r shortly after arrival. In the 1627 Division of Cattle he, his wife Ma rtha (Ford), his daughter Mary Browne, and his stepchildren John and Ma rtha Ford were included with the Samuel Fuller and Anthony Anable famil ies. About a year later, Peter and Martha would have daughter Priscilla ( perhaps named after Mayflower passenger Priscilla Mullins who was also f rom Dorking), but wife Martha would die shortly thereafter. Peter remar ried to a woman named Mary, whose maiden name has not been discovered. W ith her, he had a daughter Rebecca born about 1631, and another child w ho was born about 1633 and died before reaching adulthood (the name of t his child has not been discovered).
Peter Browne died in 1633, probably during the general sickness that oc curred that autumn and also killed neighbor Samuel Fuller, Mayflower pa ssenger Francis Eaton, and several others in Plymouth. His estate inven tory, taken 10 October 1633, shows that he owned 130 bushels of corn, s ix melch goats, one cow, eight sheep, and a number of pigs, among other t hings. Peter Browne and his brothers were all weavers, which explains w hy he had more sheep than anyone else in Plymouth at the time.
