Rebecca Browne submitted a statement to the Essex Court in September of 1679. It expresses her (and Isaac's desire) that son Thomas should inherit the land that he [Isaac] had of his father. She reports that "my brother [-in-law] Francis Browne and my uncl John Emery" (Eleanor Emery's brother) will assist her.[6]

Rebecca was married again on June 22, 1697 to John Doggett of Marshfield as his third wife.[5] John predeceased Rebecca and died in 1718. He provided for her in his will[7] and she lived until 1731.[8]

Doggett, Samuel B., A history of the Doggett-Daggett family (Boston : Press of Rockwell and Churchill, 1894) pp. 341, 362. Based on that entry, John Doggett had 3 wives: Persis Sprague 1673 Hingham; Mehitable Truant 1691 Marshfield; Rebecca (Bailey) Brown 1697 Newbury. Some merges need to be proposed.

Al, do you have any further info on Rebecca? I checked the Newbury VRs and this death date matches this entry: "DOGIT, Rebeca, Aug. 25, 1731, in her 91st y." That makes me think that she's the same as Bailey-263, with a later marriage after Isaac Brown. Your thoughts? Maybe a merge is in order?
