    • Notes 
      • Robert BROWN married Sarah (--?--). Family: his will refers to "my father's will". Could he be the brother of John Brown of Overton whose will proved in 1664 (Arch Wilts) mentions brothers and sisters and their children including a brother Robert whose family matches this one fairly closely?
        Another possibility is that he is the Robert Brown born c1605, younger son of Thomas (d 1608) and Frances of Marlborough (see Ipm). This Thomas was descended from the Weare alias Brown family, who were fairly prominent and can be traced several generations further back. One of them was mayor of Marlborough many times and also MP for the town.
        This Robert lived at Manton and had at least 5 children, including three daughters. He fought on the side of Parliament in the Civil War. Was living at East Kennett when he purchased Preshute Estate.

        Will of Robert Brown of Manton. Mentions wife Sarah, daughter Johanna Smith, son George Brown, and son John Browne.
