Written by Patricia Joan Ayres Brownell. February 13, 1999. I researched this information from "A History of the Brownell Family", " The Brownell Chronicle", "Genealogical Record of the Descendants of Thomas Brownell" and "Brownell Genealogy".
Thomas and his brother George moved to London and became drapers (fabric merchants).
After Thomas married Anne Bourne they resided in the parish of St. Mary Cole in London until they emigrated to the New World Colonies in 1638. Thomas and Anne arrived in Boston in 1638 on the ship Whale. They arrived at Braintree, MA, and then went on to settle at Pourtsmouth, Rhode Island.In the Public Library at Winterset, Iowa they have a complete set of books that list the immigrants that came over to the New World. The code for source book 275 page 109, lists Ann and Thomas Brownell, no age given, Place of Arrival - Massachusets, Yr of Arrival 1620-1650.
In Portsmouth, Thomas was appointed Water Bailey ( An official having certain jurisdiction over fisheries and other maritime matters) on May 20, 1647, was made a Freeman (an honour bestowed on a person. Only a church member was so honoured. Only a freeman was allowed to participate in the local government) in 1655, appointed a commissioner (the officer in charge of a department or bureau of the public service) in1655, 61,62 and 63, and appointed Deputy (a member of the common council who acts as an alderman's deputy) in 1664.
On the afternoon of September 24, 1664, Thomas Brownell was killed in an accident.
Inquest into the Death of Thomas Brownell.
The testimony of Daniel Lawton aged about twenty-three years or there-abouts being according to law upon oath ingaged testifieth that yesterday in the afternoon Mr Brownell being at the deponants fathers house, Mr Brownell asked the deponant whether he would ride towards Portsmouth town along with him, the deponant answered he would so they both ride together, and when they were come down the hill at the head of William Wodels ground, Mr. Brownell put his horse on a gallop afore the deponant, whereupon this deponant also put on his horse and presently out run Mr Brownell and got affore him, and so continued on his gallop some distance of way afore he lookt back but at length looking back to see where Mr Brownell was he spied his horse running alone out of the way into a swamp whereupon this deponant forth with, not mistrusting emminant danger to the man ran and turned horse and brought him into the way where presently he saw Mr Brownell lying on the ground, and the deponant called but none answering he lett horse goe and went up to him and took him by the arms, whereby and also by the efusion of very much blood from him on the ground he perceived the sayd Mr Brownell was dead. This deponant doth testify the above written.The coroner's jury made an inquest into the death and took testimony from Daniel Lawton. The jury concluded that Brownell, riding furiously down the hill, was either thrown against or hit the tree. The broken reins of the bridle had been found next to the body and there was blood and hair sticking to the tree. Brownell's skull was broken and his "brains came out," thus causing his death.
Thomas Brownell did not have a will. The Council of the Towne of Portsmouth with the free and voluntary consent of Ann Brownell, widow of the deceased Thomas Brownell, enacted the Ann Brownell whole and executor of the estate.

Rowland was a fisherman at the Isles of Shoals until 1683 when he sold out and moved to york and lived on land inherited in 1673 from his grandfather Robert Knight. (1)
Susanna was a witness against Roger Kelly in 1684. (2)
As the war with the French and the Indians continued the settlers dared to venture out in small work parties accompanied by a larger number who stood guard while others worked. In April 1692 while
fishing outside of Boon Island, Rowland was chased and captured by French privateers while otheres in another boat escaped. These incidents became common and an emargo on the use of all boats was
ordered while a fleet was sent out from Massachusetts to pursue the privateers.(3) Ropwland was returned from Canada in 1695 by Capt. Matthew Carey (4) but a Rowland was on the grand jury in
1693/4. (5) Perhaps the person captured was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth?(6) Rowland was a selctman in 1695.(7)

PEDI birthHISTORY: Lydia's parentage is in question. Tilden lists her as
the daughter of Richard Rockwood and Agnes Bicknell, which I believe
is incorrect. Correspondence with John Penniman Cleeve, a direct
descendant of Lydia's brother, gives reference to the book "The
Penniman Family, 1631-1900", compiled by The Rev. Dr. G.W. Penniman.
GWP died in 1943, but his book was not published until 1981
"....with the permission of the Local History and Genealogical
Division, The New York Public Library; Astor, enox and Tilden
Foundations and The Braintree Historical Society". GWP's book says
of Lydia:
"dau. James and Lydia was bapt. at 1st Church Boston, 22 Feb 1634-35
and married Ensign Edward Adams of Braintree and Medfield. He was
born 1630 and a son of Henry. He died in 1715 long after his wife
who had d. 3 Mar. 1675-6. He left fourteen children, eight became
heads of families."
In the manuscript of Dr. Penniman, according to John Cleeve, all of
the grandchildren of James and Lydia were listed, except the
children of Lydia (Adams). The unmentioned children were noticed in
1969 by Benjamin P. Richardson, Jr. of Cornish, VT who was examining
the family records at the Braintree Historical Society. He is a
direct descendant of Lydia."
