WILLIAM BROWN BIO:
William was admitted to Queens College, Cambridge in July 1604 and was ordained a Deacon on 7th June 1612 (aged 26) (source 15). He was Curate of Horley in 1612 during the time his grandfather William was Rector. He was later possibly a Rector (following his father) and then a Schoolmaster in Rusper. William was a witness to the 'Will' of Robert Stone of Rusper dated 2nd October 1615 and also to the 'Will' of John Stone dated 3rd February 1625 (Source 11). With the English Civil war, the Clergy were generally Royalists and were not well thought of which is maybe why William became a School master. In nearby parishes Parson's were being dismissed by Parliament and were being evicted from the rectories (eg West Hoathly Parson Teynton in August 1643) and perhaps the same happened to William at Rusper. William, Jane & family emigrated to America in 1646 to Saybrook, Connecticut, and later to Southampton, Long Island, New York State, where he was a merchant. Jane died of smallpox on the voyage and William died between 2-23rd July 1650 in Long Island, living with his daughter Mary Marvin.
