FAMILY IN HOLLINGBOURNE
Nicholas s/o Clement Browne and Jane Pack was baptised at the Church of All Saints in Hollingbourne during December 1610. His father died when he was 6 years old. His mother may have died about 1632, at which point 22-year-old Nicholas and his younger Thomas sued the widow Margaret Peck regarding his inheritance in Hollingbourne. The abstract of this suit mentions a deceased William Peck, presumably Margaret's late husband.
DETLING
Nicholas Browne presumably lost the suit, for by 1536 he and his wife Mary were 6 miles away in Detling. The 1664 hearth tax lists them as the owners of a house with one chimney in that parish.
They only have one known child, Christopher Browne who was christened in Detling on 25 March, 1637.
