In 1996 Dean Crawford Smith and Melinde Lutz Sanborn demonstrated the English origin and connections of this immigrant; he was brother of JOHN BROWN of Watertown, Edmund Brown of Boston by 1634, and Hannah (Brown) Ines, almost certainly wife of MATTHEW INES. There was a brother Richard, but he was clearly not the immigrant to Watertown.
