Martha Brown died about 1680, most likely in Stamford. Soon after, circa 1682-83, Francis Brown married, for the third time, another widow Judith (Budd) Ogden. She had been the wife of John Ogden of Stamford. Soon after he moved west to Rye, New York.

Francis Brown removed to Rye, New York about this time and the transfer of land may have been prompted by this relocation. Soon after this he apparently become ill and made a will in Rye dated 5 February, 1685/86 which was recorded in the Rye records 6 November, 1686. This will mentions his wife Judith (formerly wife of John Ogden dec'd), and children Joseph, "Benninonie" Galpin, Thomas "Hollibird" (Hurlbut), Jonathan Scudder and Mercy Brown. Because of this will, many earlier researchers assumed Francis Brown died soon after it was recorded late in 1686. However, he recovered and, according to Jacobus in Families of Old Fairfield, he "signified his intention of renewing its (his will) terms from year to year."
