Notes

Several early texts including The History of Salem, MA; Essex Antiquarian etc. Have confused two John Brownes. One who married Hannah Hobart and one that married Hannah Collins. Some texts indicate that Hannah Hobart Browne died and her husband took Hannah Collins as his second wife. This has been disproved.
