William Browne, Jr. He first appeared on the Surry Co. tithable list in 1686 and again in 1687, suggesting he was born ca. 1670 [P2]. His will was probated in 1747 (Griffith, p.34). He was not recorded with his father's family during the years 1688-1691, possibly studying in England (P&C II). He returned to Col. Browne's household in 1692 and remained there until 1698 when he had established his own taxable property [P2]. He and Jane were probably married by then [P5]. It seems improbable they were married in 1695 [P4] since Wm. Browne, Jr., clearly of age and living in the same household as his stepbrother, William Meriwether, if married to Jane, logically would have been listed as one of William's administrators, as was Francis Clements. Females could release guardians or marry without consent at age 18 (The Source). It appears that in the period 1695-1698 Jane married Wm. Browne, Jr. [P5]. Based on what we know, she likely was born ca. 1675. Determining the age of their children may provide the proof needed.
