1623 he was admitted to the house upon the waste in Chiffin Lane[12] and also, by inheritance, land called Chalkney Crofts. [13]
In the middle of July 1635, the Defence left for the New World. On board were his eldest son John, Frances his wife and their children Mary and Dorcas. In addition his second eldest son Richard and his youngest daughter Mary also left, she was only 12 at the time.
Although there is no ships record of their passage, there is no further activity in any of their names in Earls Colne after 1635 coupled with significant evidence of their presence in the New World.
This must have been a hammer blow to Roger who wrote his will on Aug 4th the following month and died shortly afterwards.
He died in 1635 he died and was buried 25 Aug, St Margaret and St Catherine Aldham, Essex[14]
In his will of 1635 he passed through the usual hierarchy of beneficiaries but perhaps coldly drops John, Richard and Mary to the end, giving them 12 pence each if they want it. There was nothing for his grandchildren Mary and Dorcas.
Cornelius his only remaining son was Executor and main beneficiary. The John Brownson who witnessed the will was probably his brother.
An alternative view is that they went with his blessing and were compensated in advance.
His mention of Daughter-in-law (Step Daughter) Mary Brewer, confirms a second marriage.

Brownson-589 and Brownson-464 appear to represent the same person because: Bill, this is a cleanup merge created with a "before 1700" date because the WT user was not pre-1700 certified and did not correctly understand the process at the time. I did not edit the data fields so that it would not look like I was fudging the historical data. Please approve this merge or contact me with questions. Thanks!
Brownson-589 and Brownson-464 appear to represent the same person because: Multiple duplicate generations of the Brownson family were created without source by a user who is not pre-1700 certified. This is a cleanup merge, one of many so please do not reject it on the basis of mismatching birth dates as the original user was not able to enter pre-1700 dates. Please contact me (Stauf-1) if you have any questions.
If this profile is meant to be the progenitor of the early Brownson/Bronson/Brunson immigrants to New England (siblings John, Richard and Mary) then he is a duplicate of Roger Brownson-464 and part of a chain of duplicates created for this family. If submitting a merge or edit please work on these records as a group to prevent stragglers.
However, the father of Roger Brownson-464 was John Brownson-146, NOT a "George" Brownson so it is not entirely clear who this profile is meant to represent. Profile manager and creator, can you please clarify and add sources? Thank you.
The ERO records for this profile have Bromson, Brounson, Browneson, Brownesonne, Brownnson, Brownsome but mainly Brownson.
None of them is Bronson
If you could add me to the trusted list of this and other family members, I will make the change of all LNAB to Brownson. Alternatively happy for you to do it.
