Samuel Browne, of Dorking

Peter Browne was baptized on January 26, 1594/5 in Dorking, Surrey, England. This was the same home town as other Mayflower passengers – the Mullins family.[3]

Peter Browne was a son of William Brown of Dorking. He had two older siblings, Jane and Thomas, as well as three younger brothers, Samuel, John and James. In or about 1605, when Peter was about ten years of age, his father died and the children may have been sent to family members and friends under apprenticeships. A local weaver probably apprenticed the three youngest sons in that line of work.[2]
