Descendants of Nathaniel Browne, immigrant to Connecticut, may be
interested in checking out the following two series in the
publications of the Historical Manuscripts Commission, as they contain
many letters written by Sir William Browne (d. 1610), governor of
Flushing (Nathaniel's grandfather).
--_Report on the Manuscripts of Lord de L'Isle & Dudley, Preserved at
Penshurst Place._ 6 vols. (London: H. M. Stationery Office,
1925-1966).
--_Report on the Manuscripts of the Marquess of Downshire, Preserved
at Easthampstead Park, Berks._ 4 vols. (London: H. M. Stationery
Office, 1924-1940).
I see from OCLC that a 94-page manuscript by G.D. Scull ("Sir William
Browne, Knight, 1556-1610, and Sir Nathaniel Rich, Knight, 1636: A
Chapter of Family History") is held by the NEHGS. As it was written
in 1882, I wouldn't be surprised if its information is superseded by
that in the Hist. MSS. Commission's volumes above.

John,
Thanks for that information
John Pym Yeatman in _The Brownes of Bechworth Castle_ (1903) suggests that
the Brownes of Snelsdon, Derbyshire (Sir William Browne's ancestors) were
connected to the Brownes lord mayors of London, but I don't think he was able to
prove it

Re: Voluminous correspondence of Sir William Browne (d. 1610
The Brownes of Snelston had a remote line of royal ancestry through
their Shirley connections, I think.
Sir William Browne is known to have married a lady from the Low
Countries, usually named as "Mary Savage" (see the AR and PA series,
for instance). The de l'Isle and Downshire papers don't show him
associating with anyone called Savage, but do show that his wife had
relatives named "de Blocq" and "de Calvaert." Sir William also
apparently had a nephew, Mr. Hough, living in Flushing.

Yes, the tree in NEHGR Vol 48 p 269 gives her name as Mary Savage, born in

1622. I have seen the 1604 naturalisation on the PRO web site
(HL/PO/PB/1/1603/1Jin59) — where Flushing as been transcribed as Ulisbinge and the date there is
1603 (perhaps s/b 1603-04 being a private act in I James I). If the Act for
the naturalisation of Mary Savage is still extant, it would presumably confirm
her surname.

"Ulisbinge" is a mis-transcription of "Vlishinge," I'm guessing ...

Folowing that guess it would mean the Dutch place Vlissingen in the

Maybe "Vlushinge," then?
