Adams writer Jn Brownson Roger Brownson
The
last two sentences indicate that children John, Richard and Mary had left Essex
before 4 August 1635 and their distance must have great for John, being the
oldest son, not to have been appointed executor as was common. Indeed, it is believed that the three set sail
for New England on the Defense, Edward Bostock, Master, from London "the
last of July 1635," and arrived at Boston 8 October 1635. Passenger lists are incomplete and do not
list the Brownsons, but others from Earl's Colne were aboard the ship. Other sources claim that they traveled with
the London Company in 1628 aboard the Hercules or possibly upon the Griffin in
1633.

In 1640 John's house lot was located in
"Soldiers' Field" on the Neck Road in the northern part of the
village, bounded on the ast by the road, to the north by Richard Church's
property, and to the south by WIlliam Heaton's lot. On 9 November 1640, John and Andrew Warner
were both fined five shillings for "putting their hogs over the Great
RIver, and five shillings for every day they left them there."
Early after Tunxis, later known as
Farmington, was purchased by the Hartford settlers, John moved there, about
1641, and lived on a road a half-mile east of the village. On 7 March 1649/1650 and on 15 May 1650, he
served on the Grand Jury. In May 1651,
October 1655, May 1656, and October 1656, he served as Deputy from Farmington
to the Connecticut General Court. On 13
October 1652, John helped organize the Farmington Church. He was also the Constable that year and was
responsible for collecting the "rate" or tax for the Fort at
Seabrook. In 1659, his name is found on
the list of freeman in the town. In 1670
he was awarded 20 shillings from a group of Indians that had stolen cider from
him.
