Peter Browne was born in Dorking, Surrey, England and baptized on 26 Jan 1595. His father was William Browne of Dorking. His siblings: Jane; Thomas; Samuel; John and James.

Peter was a neighbor of the Mullins family in Dorking, together they all emigrated from England in Sep 1620 on the Mayflower sailing ship, heading for the new world. They were among the first citizens to start the Massachusetts Bay Colony. With 102 passengers and a crew about one-third in number, the ship had little room for privacy or hygiene. By the time the ship arrived at Plymouth, many were sick or had died, many more died in the first winter at Massachusetts Bay.

The Mayflower landed on Cape Cod in Nov 1620. After many days and several attempts to depart for their original destination, Virginia Colony, they were forced to return to Cape Cod. Together and with a common cause, the travelers/settlers from England assembled the men with the purpose of writing a declaration. This document is known as the Mayflower Compact and was signed by all eligible male inhabitants of the New Plymouth Colony. Peter Browne was among the signers of the Mayflower Compact.

Peter Browne of the "Mayflower" resided in Plymouth Colony and made his home there. His name can still be seen on a copy of the document which hangs on a wall in one of the buildings. Descendants of Peter Browne feel the pride today of their ancestor Peter Browne of Plymouth Colony.

Peter married the widow Martha Ford who arrived a year later on the ship "Fortune." Her husband had apparently died after leaving England, before their arrival in the new world. Martha had a {Ford} son the day they landed but he too was very quickly another casualty of the conditions. She arrived in the new world with two other living Ford children:
(1) John Ford;
(2) Martha Ford.

Peter and Martha had two children:
(1) A daughter, Mary Browne, born about 1626, married Ephraim Tinkham in Plymouth bef 27 Oct 1647, died after Nov 1689.
(2) A daughter, Priscilla Browne, born about 1628, married William Allen in Sandwich on 21 Mar 1649, they had eight children, died after 17 Feb 1698.

Martha died about 1630, and Peter Browne remarried to a woman named Mary whose surname is not recorded.
Peter had two more children with his second wife:
(1) Rebecca Browne, born about 1631, died after March 9, 1699, married William Snow by about 1654.
(2) A child born by 1633, died by 1647.

Following Browne’s death, his widow Mary was made administrator of his estate on 11 Nov 1633. She was ordered by the court to pay 15 pounds to John Doane who would raise Peter's daughter Mary from his first marriage; the same amount was payable to William Gilson for the care of Peter and Martha's other daughter Priscilla. Mary raised the children from her first marriage as well as the two infants from her marriage to Peter, they were age two and newborn at the time of Peter's death. She retained the balance of 1/3 of Peter’s estate.

At age seventeen, Mary and Priscilla Browne asked the Plymouth Court to have their custody reassigned to their paternal uncle, John Browne, who had arrived in later years and settled in nearby Duxbury, Mass.

Peter Browne died shortly before October 10, 1633, when the inventory of his property was taken. His actual date of death was not recorded in Plymouth. Both he and his first wife Martha are buried at Burial Hill in Plymouth. The site of his Plymouth Colony home is on Leyden Street.

Peter Browne

BAPTISM: 26 January 1594/5 at Dorking, Surrey, England, son of William Browne.
FIRST MARRIAGE: Mrs. Martha Ford, widow, by about 1626, at Plymouth.
SECOND MARRIAGE: Mary, by about 1631, at Plymouth.
CHILDREN (by Martha): Mary, Priscilla
CHILDREN (by Mary): Rebecca, and a child whose name has not been discovered.
DEATH: 1633, probably in the autumn when a sickness was spreading through Plymouth.

Peter Browne's English origins were discovered in 2004, when I published the results of my research into his origins in The American Genealogist, 79(July 2004):161-178. Peter Browne was baptized in Dorking, Surrey, England on 26 January 1594/5, the son of William Browne. The Browne family appears to have had several associations with the Mullins family of Dorking, who also came on the Mayflower. Peter Browne's brother John Browne came to Plymouth Colony about 1632 and settled in Duxbury, the next town just to the north of Plymouth. John Browne was baptized in Dorking on 29 June 1600.

On 12 January 1621, Peter Browne and John Goodman had been cutting thatch for house roofing all morning. They ate some meat and went for a short walk to refresh themselves, when their two dogs (an English mastiff and a English spaniel) spied a great deer and gave chance. Peter and John followed and quickly got lost. They wandered around the entire afternoon in the rain, and spent the night in a tree (and pacing back and forth under it) fearing that they had heard lions roaring in the woods. The next day they made their way up a hill, spotted the Bay, reoriented themselves, and made it back home to an extremely worried Colony that had already sent out two exploring parties in an attempt to find them.

This oak and birch tankard is believed to have belonged to Mayflower passenger Peter Browne. It is on display at the Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth.

In a partial list of the house locations of the Pilgrims made out in 1620, John Goodman and Peter Browne appear to have been neighbors on the south side of the Street and the ocean side of the Highway. Peter Browne was apparently still living there during the 1623 Division of Land. By about 1626, he married Martha Ford, who arrived as one of the only female passengers on the ship Fortune in 1621. She gave birth almost immediately after arriving, but husband Ford apparently died during the voyage or shortly after arrival. In the 1627 Division of Cattle he, his wife Martha (Ford), his daughter Mary Browne, and his stepchildren John and Martha Ford were included with the Samuel Fuller and Anthony Anable families. About a year later, Peter and Martha would have daughter Priscilla (perhaps named after Mayflower passenger Priscilla Mullins who was also from Dorking), but wife Martha would die shortly thereafter. Peter remarried to a woman named Mary, whose maiden name has not been discovered. With her, he had a daughter Rebecca born about 1631, and another child who was born about 1633 and died before reaching adulthood (the name of this child has not been discovered).

Peter Browne died in 1633, probably during the general sickness that occurred that autumn and also killed neighbor Samuel Fuller, Mayflower passenger Francis Eaton, and several others in Plymouth. His estate inventory, taken 10 October 1633, shows that he owned 130 bushels of corn, six melch goats, one cow, eight sheep, and a number of pigs, among other things. Peter Browne and his brothers were all weavers, which explains why he had more sheep than anyone else in Plymouth at the time
