Biography

This profile is part of the Earls Colne, Essex One Place Study.

Cornelius Brownson appears in the Parish records of Earls Colne, on May 12, 1560 at the baptism of his daughter Priscilla.^{[1] [2]}

He therefore died after this date. Claims of birth dates and burial, imported through various mergers, are unsourced.

Research Notes

He may be the Cornelius Browne, who was a witness at trial of Peter Loveday, for theft, on April 27, 1652,^[3] and the Corn Browne who was on a list of tenants of the Colne Priory Manor on January 3, 1656.^[4]

The sources of this profile previously represented two different people. One was lived in Earl's Colne, Essex, England, and the other was born and died in Parwick Hall, Derbyshire. The Derbyshire Cornelius lacks sources and was removed.
