Thank you Adrian....

That is a paraphrase from DNB for the entry on Samuel Browne?

What intrigues me is the Nicholas Browne, from Northants, married to a Frances
St. John.

Then we have a Richard Washington, from Northants, son of a gentleman,
Lawrence Washington, married to a Frances Browne in 1627.

Deus Vult.

"All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a
dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside
themselves, the wild outside.

We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still
lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream."
