I have been doing a major review, correcting and updating of my genealogy pages some of which I started over 30 years ago. I have focused on the direct ancestors and have not checked all the data on siblings and their descendants. I have removed many speculative ancestors which has no sources to support them. I use Wikitree to check current research. It is the most up to date research in terms of accuracy as you must put in sources. Its goal is to have one profile per person and resolve conflicting trees. Find A Grave but especially ancestry.com trees are riddled with errors. Errors found in ancestry.com are impossible to correct as trees get copied and there is no mechanism to correct an error. I am now adding to Wikitree including sources in an effort to combat the errors in ancestry.com. Wikitree also can have errors or speculation but it it us significantly more accurate.

The Brown family is from well documented New England and is very extensive. Due to the size of the Brown Tree, I have split it into 3 trees/pages.

The Brown Tree is the male line of the John Quincy Brown family .
The Torrey Tree is the family of James Harvey Brown Jr's wife Christina Torrey.
The Chase Tree is the family of James Harvey Brown Sr.'s wife Delecty Chase.

This page is the family of Delecty Chase and she is the root of this part of the tree.

DNA matches.
I have used a DNA symbol 🧬 to indicate where I have a match to someone who descends from that specific part of my tree. Unfortunately ancestry.com does not tell you where you match on your chromosomes like other DNA testing companies like Family Tree DNA or MyHeritage so I can not verify that the match is through that part of the tree. I do have other parts of the Brown tree in New England and the actual match could be through a different part of my tree. Still the number of matches to so many people in the tree supports its accuracy. And I have a lot more matches than I documented. Its time consuming to try and track the trees of my matches so if I found a lot in an area of the tree, I stopped looking for more.

Browne Family Tree

Browne Name Meaning: Irish and English variant of Brown which is English, Scottish, and Irish: generally a nickname referring to the color of the hair or complexion, Middle English br(o)un, from Old English brun or Old French brun. This word is occasionally found in Old English and Old Norse as a personal name or byname. Brun- was also a Germanic name-forming element. Some instances of Old English Brun as a personal name May therefore be short forms of compound names such as Brungar, Brunwine, etc. As a Scottish and Irish name, it sometimes represents a translation of Gaelic Donn.

In the large households of royalty and the most powerful nobility, the title came to denote an officer of high rank and responsibility, only nominally concerned with the supply of wine, if at all.

Daniel was the only Quaker convert to be whipped in Sandwich. He was arrested by marshal George Barlow for entertaining a strange Quaker Wenlock Christofersoen in his house and for resisting arrest, for which the court sentenced him to be whipped on 13 Jun 1660.
With the outbreak of the Pequot War in 1675, Daniel Butler was required to serve in the militia. As a Quaker he could not do so, and was fined £8 as a “deliquent soldier” 10 Mar 1675/6.
Although some people think Elizabeth Howes parents were Thomas and Mary, there is no proof.

Daniel Chase posted an appearance bond in 1754 for Michael Hays of Beekman. He was one of the Quakers who were enrolled in 1755 and he and his wife were members of the Oblong Meeting in 1761.
Daniel Chase was taxed in Beekman and Pawling from 1747 through 1778. Daniel Chase kept an account at the Merritt store on Quaker Hill from 1767 through at least 1775.
He was a fence viewer in 1752 and a path master for the Oblong the same year. In 1764 he was elected Beekman Town Clerk. He and his brother Henry were retained by Nathaniel Howland and Robert Millard of the Pawling area to survey their farms and establish the true boundaries. The Chase brothers published a notice in the New York Journal and the General Advertiser of 20 Jul 1778 to the fact that they had done the survey 27 Apr 1764.
He erected a "new house" just prior to 1758 and it was noted in a deed from Henry Beekman and his sisters to Beverly Robinson and his relatives dated 18 Jan 1758. His house was on the new line established for the southern bounds of the Beekman Patent as a resolution to the "Gore" dispute.
Dr. James Fallen wrote to the Gov. of NY Hon. George Clinton that Daniel was one of the few quakers that helped his hospital.
The meeting of 4 March 1777 concluded that Daniel Chase Sr. and Tallman Chase (plus 8 others) "are dangerous enemies to the Cause of American Liberty, and either actually were enlisted themselves or were privy to the enlisting of Men for the Service of the Enemy. Resolved, that the above persons be committed to the Goal [Gaol?] at Kingston in Ulster County, there to remain until further orders of this State."

William Davol first appears in the Plymouth Colony on August 3, 1640 when he applied for a parcel of land. The land was probably located in Rehoboth where he is recorded as a resident on February 9, 1646. The home must have been located near the water because in 1647 "certain persons were granted leave to set up a weir upon the cove before William Davol's house..."
On October 2, 1650 the names of William, his wife, and others of Rehoboth were presented to the Plymouth Colony Court "for the continewing of a meeting uppon the Lords day from house to house, contrary to the order of this Court enacted June the 12"*, 1650."
Probably to escape punishment in the Plymouth Colony, the family relocated to Newport.
By 1655 William "Devill" was recorded as a freeman in the Newport Colony. He was called to serve as a jury member on several occasions, including a debt case heard at Newport on March 11, 1661/2.

Resided in Sandwich MA.
Probably immigrated 1643-7
In 1665, William Gifford was among the first proprietors of the Monmouth Patent in New Jersey, but there is no evidence he actually settled there. He stayed in Sandwich, unless perhaps he left temporarily to escape heavy fines for refusing to take the Oath of Fidelity, the first being 5 pounds on 2 October 1658, due to his Quaker practices. He owned land in Sandwich, Falmouth and Dartmouth and was styled as a "taylor" in deeds from 1670
He served in the Grand Inquest in 1650 at Sandwich and was given the power to call a town meeting in Sandwich in 1651. He was a surveyor of highways in Sandwich in 1677
He paid fines because he was a Quaker but he still prospered as a landowner. He left a will.
On the grounds that William had been a tailor, the records of the tailors (taylors) Guild of London were explored. Three Williams were listed, only one of whom fits into the appropriate dates. Under apprenticeship of 7 years, they could not marry until free. This William married Elizabeth Grant in 1635. William H. Gifford was apprenticed to Thom as Southerne, 7 December 1628. (The other listed William Giffords were apprenticed in 1564 & 1650). Elizabeth and William Gifford did not come to America until after 1643. There were 7 other Giffords apprenticed between 1573 and 1682, three of whom were apprenticed to other Giffords.

Harper Family Tree

Harper Name Meaning: English, Scottish, and Irish: occupational name for a player on the harp, from an agent derivative of Middle English, Middle Dutch harp ‘harp’. The harper was one of the most important figures of a medieval baronial hall, especially in Scotland and northern England, and the office of harper was sometimes hereditary. The Scottish surname is probably an Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Chruiteir ‘son of the harper’ (from Gaelic cruit ‘harp’, ‘stringed instrument’). This surname has long been present in Ireland.

He left a lengthy will.

She was released four years later. .Family tradition says that in the settlers were driven from their homes by an Indian uprising and many were killed. The rest took refuge in a shallop. The next day Richard Maxson and his son Richard landed at Throggs Neck, New York to get food and supplies for those marooned in the boat and were massacred by Indians. His wife and two children, Rebecca and John, escaped in the boat. They finally reached Newport where they found sanctuary. John Winthrop, Governor of Massachusetts, wrote about the Indian raid in his journal in September of 1643. He said that after the Indians had killed 15 Dutchmen, they "set upon the English who dwelt under the Dutch. They came to Mrs. Hutchinson's in way of friendly neighborhood, as they had been accustomed, and taking their opportunity, killed her and Mr. Collins, her son-in-law and all her family and such of Mr. Throckmorton's and Mr. Cornhill's families as were at home; in all sixteen, and put their cattle into their houses and there burnt them. By a good providence of God, there was a boat came in there at the same instant, to which some women and children fled, and so were saved, but two of the boatmen going up to the houses were shot and killed."
"Goodwife's" 2nd husband was John Hendell of Newport by 1647

Comments

Hugh Mosher was a farmer, a blacksmith and a Baptist minister. He seems to have lived most of his life on his farm, which lay partly in Portsmouth and partly in Newport. In some records however he calls himself "of Dartmouth."
Hugh first appears in Rhode Island records with his purchase 29 Jun 1660 of lands at Westerly from the Indian Sachem Sacho. William Vaughan, Robert Stanton, John Fairfield, Hugh Mosher and James Longbottom, all of Newport, Rhode Island, purchased Misquamicut, land of an Indian chief, Sosoa, and formed a settlement of what afterward became Westerly, Rhode Island. Witnesses to the transaction were Jeremy Clarke, Latham Clarke and Henry Clarke.
Hugh married 2nd Sarah Butcher Harding 25 Feb 1708
The First Baptist “Old Stone” Church in Tiverton was founded about 1680 by John Cooke. Hugh was ordained as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dartmouth in 1684 and served for about 19 years. Because it was illegal to be a Baptist in Plymouth Colony, worship services of the church were held in church members‘ homes.

He refused to sign an Association Pact on 1775.
He served in the Revolutionary War in the Duchess Co. 6th Regiment. He received land bounty rights
.In 1797 the list of men who worked the roads gives a fairly accurate list of all family names in the ares...the road districts will, to some extent, indicate the location of each family. The number after each name probably indicates the number of days worked by the individual.
The Will of Samuel Mosher is extensive.

Joshua arrived at Plymouth in 1623 aboard the Anne, and was made a freeman in Plymouth Colony 1 Jan 1632/3.
He was an original purchaser of Dartmouth, but May not have lived there. He was a sealer of weights and measures, constable, served on juries, and laid out lands. For laying out the lots of Plymouth he received a peck of corn a day.
He was enumerated in 1643 as one of the Plymouth men able to bear arms
Bathsheba m. 2nd 2 Aug 1667 John Dogget. Bathsheba was probably in a family that came late 1629 - early 1630 from Leiden.
Phineas Pratt was probably a brother. They owned land together and they were assigned to Francis Cook together in Plymouth. Phineas's father was thought to be Henry a non-conformist English minister but there is no proof of this.

He was a religious dissenter and banished from MA for his support of Anne Hutchings. He moved to Rhode Island.
He was a signer of the Portsmouth Compact with his stepfather-in-law John Porter and others. The 18 purchased the island of Aquidneck, "through the joint influence of Roger Williams and Sir Henry Vane with the Narragansett Sachems. The Indian name of the place, where the settlement was made, was Pocassett, and was retained some time by the settlers, until changed to Portsmouth." The purchase was completed March 24, 1638. On the first day of July, 1639, they established a regular government of which William Coddington was chosen Governor and Philip Sherman, Secretary. After this he often held office in the colony, and in critical periods, as a man of intelligence, wealth and influence, was frequently consulted by those in authority.
He served a 1st Secretary of RI and served as a clerk, magistrate, town council, assessor, committee of Adjudication

He settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where he was admitted freeman on 6 Jun 1654.
He was appointed Surveyor of highways in 1654;
he was a member of the Plymouth militia in 1643.
William was ordered to pay the debts of his master, Mr. Coombs, and to take care of his children, August 1670 in a will dated 8 March, with inventory taken 14 March.
He resided in Plymouth until about 1660, when he moved to Acushnet, Bristol county, Massachusetts, where he died in 1684.
It is likely William and his sons built the first mill within Dartmouth bounds, which was located in what is now Acushnet village.

The church of St. Nicolos has been rebuilt many times. 12th century a wooden one. 1335 a brick one The structure was to be a three-naved hall church in the typical North German Brick Gothic style., 1542 it was completely burned down and replaced. This was destroyed in WWII and a monument remains.
Both 17 May 1579 or 1589 are given as birth dates. If 1589 then he would be 16 when he got married. Very unlikely.

Portrait of a Hamburg Family c.1640

Comments

He left a voluminous record of financial and legal dealings although nothing of a personal correspondence.
Peter grew up in Hamburg during Europe's tumultuous Forty Years War. The painting on the right is an unknown family but gives an idea of the people of his time. He was admitted a burgher of Hamburg, as the son of a burgher, on 14 Aug 1646, and disappears thereafter from the Hamburg records.
We next see him in Barbadoes. His 1st wife was Ann Hill whom he divorced in 1665 on grounds of adultery. Apparently she detested him. On July 24, 1665, an ante nuptial agreement was made between Peter and Joan Briggs. He agreed to give her land he had bought from Richard Morris, Daniel Wilcox, and William Wilbur, and also a house; all to be hers and her heirs born of this marriage. He gave her a bed and half the household goods, but if she die without issue the estate given her was to revert to Peter Tallman’s eldest son, Peter Jr., and if the latter die without issue, then to Peter Tallman Sr.’s eldest daughter, Mary and her heirs. To Joan, absolutely as a “free gift of donation” he gave 3 good cows and a good breeding mare. Joan Briggs died 1685.
Joan's father could have been John Briggs of Taunton as he was the only one there. See the Briggs Family Tree 1 for details and my autosomal matches supporting this.
He moved around a great deal. He was active in settling Martha's Vineyard and has a vessel that sailed from Manhattan to the Delaware River. He appears also in the Connecticut records on 20 May 1652, when he is called "Dutchman " , and was apparently for some time at Flushing, on Long Island. From 1655 to 1658 his name is frequently found in the court records of New Amsterdam, where he sometimes acted as interpreter between the English and the Dutch. He purchased much land in Dartmouth, MA., and the neighboring towns, but his principal place of residence was Portsmouth, RI. His estate was settled on 8 May 1709."
June 7, 1674, having broken a law of MA, prohibiting the receipt of land from Indians by deed of gift, he was imprisoned, but on giving up the deeds he was at this date released.
General Solicitor at Portsmouth 1661. He was commissioner 1661/2, deputy 1662-5.
1708, His inventory, was presented by son James. May 3, 1709, Administration having been given to Jonathan Tallman, he took acquittances at this date from his brothers and sisters, the signers of the instrument being as follows: William Wilbur, Israel Shaw, Jonathan Tallman, James Tallman, Benjamin Tallman, Mary Pearce, Susanna Beckett, Peter Tallman, Isaac Lawton, William Potter, John Tallman, Joseph Tallman and Samuel Tallman.

Tucker Farm Historic District

Resided

1670 Dartmouth MA
Newport RI

Comments

He was a surveyor and one of the largest landowners.
Henry Tucker, arrived in the colony between 1645 and 1650. He took up residence in the Puritan settlement of Milton, Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1651, Henry married and the couple continued to live in Milton. Abraham was born two years later, followed by his brother, John, in 1656.
Henry belonged to the Society of Friends, or Quakers, and was in Milton in 1663, where he was persecuted by the Puritans for his religious ideas. About 1664, the Tucker family moved to Sandwich, Plymouth Colony, a Quaker community. Eventually, they left Cape Cod and settled briefly in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. It is there that Henry became a member of the Rhode Island Monthly Meeting. About 1669 Henry Tucker purchased land in Old Dartmouth and moved his family there. Until the 1690’s the Dartmouth Monthly Meeting did not exist and Quakers met in homes, and attended formal meetings in Rhode Island where members’ records, prior to 1700, are retained. The Dartmouth Monthly Meeting was established in 1699 upon the completion of their Quaker Meeting House.
The Tucker Farm Historic District' is a historic district at 1178 Tucker Road in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. A farm property which has been worked since the 17th century, includes several houses, one of which May have a portion dating to the ownership of Henry Tucker, the land's first English settler. It also includes a remnant of what was once a major Native trail and public right of way connecting Plymouth, Massachusetts, and Newport, RI

Comments

He matriculated at Oxford 12 Oct 1599 at age 14 and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Queen's College, Oxford, England on 16 Feb 1603/4.
John became the minister at St. Nicholas Church, Strood, Kent, England, about 1608 (but May have been there as early as 1605) where he remained until November 1614.
He spent 15 yr. in Holland and Germany as minister and was ordained 19 Jun 1620 Amsterdam Holland
From his first book,The Crown Conjugal: .He was minister to the Company of Merchant Adventures in Holland, to Sophia (Princess of Palatine), Elizabeth (Queen of Bohemia & daughter to King James I).
On 19 Jun 1620, under direction of Mr John Paget of Amsterdam, John Wing was ordained pastor of the English church at Flushing (Netherlands), and also sometimes preached at Middleburg. "Mr Wing, a pious man, and an edifying preacher, was first at Sandwich, but had latterly been chaplain to the Merchant Adventurers of England, resident at Hamburg. He exerted himself much for the good of his people here until he was removed to the Hague in 1627." His installation at the Hague is dated 10 Mar 1627 in the records of the Flushing church.
His sermon, The Crown Conjugal, later published, was preached at Hamburg. During his stay at Hamburg, John published at least two other of his sermons: Jacob's Staff], and Abel's Offering both published in 1621. Other published works or sermons by John Wing include, The Best Merchandise] (1622) and The Saints Advantage.
In 1627 he became the first English pastor at The Hague. The States of Holland allowed him a subsidy of £300 yearly, which by a decree of 17 August 1628, was augmented to £500. A subscription of £100 was raised by the English, and expended in repairing and beautifying the chapel. This church, or chapel, was much frequented by the royal family, and, especially by Elizabeth, daughter of King James, wife of the exiled King of Bohemia. It was here that Mr. Wing preached 18 May 1624, his sermon, "The Saint's Advantage, or the Wellfare of the Faithfull in the Worst Times," before Queen Elizabeth.
He spent only a short time in England prior to his death and then Deborah went to America.

Comments

He resided in Saugus MA & Sandwich MA. His deed in Sandwich is the oldest surviving Sandwich deed.
The three brothers have been characterized thusly: "John was the fearless practical pioneer; Daniel, the idealist and religionist; and Stephen, the scholar and man of affairs." The two latter helped to establish the first Friends' (otherwise Quakers') Meeting in America and it is claimed that this occurred on the farm of Daniel."
On 28 June 1640, Andrew Hallett conveyed certain land to Daniel, the instrument being witnessed by John Wing and Edward Dillingham. In 1641, he helped his younger brother, Steven, build the Wing Fort House.
In 1652, he and other prominent Sandwich residents were caught up in a serious religious dissension in the town. In 1657, Quakers made their first appearance in Sandwich, and Daniel became an early adherent to that faith. He was fined 20 shillings the following March for entertaining Quakers in his home. He refused to take the "oath of fidelity" and was therefore fined twenty pounds. In December 1658, he lost his status as freeman.
In his Will, dated the day he died, March 10, 1697/8, Daniel called himself "Daniel Wing Sen of Sandwich."

Resided Rochester MA
He was a Cooper and Quaker.
He was a sealer of weights, overseer of highways, and a selectman.
John took the oath of fidelity at Sandwich and was admitted a townsman in 1681.
He married Martha Spooner and then the next year, they settled on the west shore of Buzzard's Bay. His home was at Great Hill upon the extreme point of a neck of land extending far out into Buzzard's Bay from the west shore, known for many years as "Wing's Neck." The home site is now an extensive park enclosed in a high stone wall, handsomely laid out with buildings erected by a New York Merchant named Searles, who had planned a magnificent estate. John Wing signed his name with a mark.
He left a large landed estate and made liberal provisions for his children in his will.

He was called three years of age on 22 Jun 1624 when his mother, sister (Deborah) and Stephen received a license to travel from England to Zeeland to return home.
He served as surveyor, attorney, constable, and on juries. Stephen, with his brother Daniel, embraced the new Quaker faith around 1658. He was repeatedly fined for his beliefs, but not to the same level that his brother faced. After the Quaker persecution ended Stephen became the Town Clerk for Sandwich.
The property known as, the Wing Fort House is a the oldest home in New England continuously owned by the same family. It was originally owned by Stephen Wing, purchased or built around the time of his first marriage in 1646. It was handed down through the generations until 1942 when Cora m. Wing sold it to the Wing Family of America, Inc. It is now a museum located at 69 Spring Hill Road, East Sandwich, Massachusetts and serves as the official headquarters of the WFA.
