BROWNE AND LEE FAMILY EXTRACTS FROM THE PARISH REGISTER OF RUSPER, CO. SUSSEX, ENGLAND.
Communicated by a descendant of Thomas Lee and of his sister Jane Lee.
The following entries are all the baptisms, marriages, and burials of persons named Browne and Lee recorded in the Parish Register of Ruspcr, Co. Sussex, England, from 1560 to 1650. The Rusper Register begins in 1560.
The baptism of Phoebe Browne and her marriage with Thomas Lee have not been found.
William Browne who married Jane Burgis, in 1611, came to New England, and the Rusper Register shows he did not come before the year 1645. He was at Saybrook, Conn., and died on Long Island in 1650.
His son Henry Browne went to Providence, R. I. Family papers, deeds, letters and documents from 1627 to 1800 are now in the hands of one of the descendants of Henry. One of these documents, dated 1627, is a bond to William Browne, School Master of Rusper.
William Browne's granddaughter Jane Lee, who was baptized in Rusper, 12 September, 1640, was twice married: first, to Samuel Hyde of Norwich, by whom she had a daughter Elizabeth, married to Lieut. Richard Lord of Lyme, and a daughter Phoebe, who married the second Matthew Griswold of Lyme; and second, to John Birchard. She was more than eighty years old when she died. She gave to her nephew Joshua Hempstead a true and interesting account of her grandfather William Browne and of the members of his family who embarked with him for America.
William Browne's grandson Thomas Lee, who was baptized in Rusper, 29 September, 1644, was at Saybrook, Conn. He is the Thomas Lee who was one of the first settlers of Lyme. He was twice married: first, to Sarah Kirtland, and second, to Mary DeWolf. From him and from his sister Jane Lee, some well-known families of Norwich and of Old Lyme are descended.
