According to the NEHGR article which conclusively identified his English origins, he should have no parents attached at all.

Is there a source for Thomas' mother beith Sarah Hibbert? Most Ancestry.com trees give mother as Elizabeth Leids, also with no source.

Removed Endoe-1 as his spouse, but added link to her profile in the bio.

According to both Anderson and NEHGR 152:347, Thomas Brown married Mary Healy. He can't have been married to both at the same time. It is likely that Mary Endoe married a different Thomas Browne.

Brown-28014 and Brown-4735 appear to represent the same person because: Same death dates , same wife , ect
posted by Maggie N.
Brown-28014 and Brown-4735 are not ready to be merged because: Parents and wives do not match.
