Cyrus Brown, in his work of the descendants of Thomas Brown, Vol 1, page 9 (1907), stated that Thomas was the son of Nicholas, and added subsequent text stating that Thomas was a dish turner, and the he had removed from Lynn to "Grawton."
However, in Vol II, page 8 (1915) of the Brown Genealogy, Cyrus Brown indicates that he no longer considered any of this to be true. He had done extensive work on Nicholas Browne, including reviewing a copy of his will, in which Thomas Browne is conspicuously absent.
In W.C. Simmons "From the Landing..." oft cited in Geni profiles, which appears to have been published near 1951, he repeats the assertion that Thomas was the son of Nichoals, a dish turner by trade, and had relocated to Grawton. However, this just seems to be a close paraphrasing of Cyrus Brown's Vol I, thus ignoring Brown's later refutation.
No other accurate sources are provided in this profile, that I can ascertain, and what there is here is mostly repeating of the same information from different family trees. Has anyone been able to locate any primary source birth/baptismal records indicating that Nicholas Browne was the father of Thomas Browne?
