For what it's worth. My notes are a little disorganized (copied several years
ago when I wasn't as concerned with documentation as I am now). I have a Browne
pedigree (from an unknown visitation) on pages 217-218 listed under the heading
of "Additional Pedigrees". It is listed on the same page as a description of
the arms for the family of Kelsams. The pedigree is entitled "Browne of
Betchworth Castle" (reference given as Stowe 618, fo. 233).
The pedigree begins with a certain Sir Anthony Browne Knight of the Bath. Page
218 lists the following "Sir John Browne Knight & lord maior of London had 2
wives". The wives are listed as "Anne his wife daughter of .... Belwood of
Lancashire". The other "Jane daughter and heire of Sir William Swineshed
Knight". This pedigree shows Sir John as a son of "Sr Thomas Browne Knight
Master of the List in the time of K.E. 4 son & heir of Sir Rob." The wife of
Sir Thos. is listed as "Mary his wife daughter of ...Metcalfe of Nappa in com.
Yorkshire". Thomas is shown as the son of "Sir Robert Browne Knight 5 son of
Sir Thomas". His wife is listed as "Mary daughter of Sir William Malett Kt".
Lastly, Sir Robert is listed as son of "Sir Thomas Browne Knight treasurer of
ye household to K. H. 6.". This pedigree states that Betchworth Castle is
located in Kent. I am well aware that visitation records are often times
unreliable. However, this is being posted for those who requested the
information. Hoping this will stimulate further discussion relating to the
ancestors of Rev. John Gorsuch.
