According to Some Old Surry Families, Mary is not the daughter of William Browne and Mary Browne. Their daughter, Mary, died as an infant.[1]
According to a family history, it is likely he had another child named Mary, after the first Mary Browne died as an infant, the reasoning is as follows: "His spouse Mary Brown's parents are not confirmed. This family of Jordan is closely associated with William Browne, Sr., of Four Mile Tree (two of his brothers married daughters of William Browne), but no daughter Mary is mentioned in William Brown's 1704 will. There is a Mary Browne mentioned in his uncles will as a godchild. There is a granddaughter "Mary Jordan, the younger" mentioned in the 1704 will of William Browne, Sr., but this has been interpreted by other genealogists as the daughters Mary of other Browne daughters married to Jordans. However as our George Jordan's wife was a Mary and Mary his daughter would have been Mary Jordan "the younger" I believe that we can claim this reference as well as the others and with more substantial cause."[2]
On the other hand other sources give her father as Henry Browne, who died in Surry County, Virginia in 1705, but it looks like that he may have been confused with Col. Henry Browne with the death date taken from William Browne, his son-in-law.[3]
Mary married George Jordan II.[4]
