BROWN

Henry Brock Brown, Jr. married Marian Clark Lokes, 1938

Researching the name Brown is no easy task. References abound but they usually turn out to have no connection whatsoever to the line being sought. What we have assembled, though rather sparse, does bring the family from the 17th to the 20th century. The first documented Brown is George who with his wife Charity was living before 1691 in Pemaquid, Maine. After several discouraging confrontations with Indians he withdrew to Staten Island, N.Y. where we find him owning land in 1691.
