  • Notes 
    • The wife of John Budd of New York is not Katherine Browne
      Two Budd families in England have been confused:
      1) John Budd and Katherine Butcher were married in 1620 in Chichester, Sussex, England, and all of their children (including their son John 1629/30) were born in Sussex. We know this because we have their marriage record and their children's christening records in Sources. This family matches the family who lived in New York
      2) another John Budd, born in 1599 in Stepney (now part of London), Middlesex, England, also married a Katherine (probably Katherine Browne) and they had a son John Budd who was born in Stepney in 1625. See John Budde (L5G4-WFJ) for this Stepney family.

      Several old genealogies (including The Early Germans of New Jersey) incorrectly named Katherine Browne as the wife of the John Budd who came to New York, and this was copied over and over in other genealogies. We know now that those stories were false because we now have easy access to the official English records.
