Biography
Parentage of James Brown
John Brown(e)[1] was born about 1591[2] and died at Rehoboth 10 Apr 1662.[3] He was in Plymouth Colony by 1635 as he was made freeman 5 Jan 1635/6. He married by about 1616[4] to Dorothy _____ who died at Swansea 27 Jan 1673/4 "being the ninety and eighth year of her age or thereabouts"[5]. They had three children (daughter Mary and sons James & John).

DNA Results R-L2
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Brown-Browne-Braun DNA Study Project (Group No. 048) had two individuals who claims his Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) was John Brown 1579-1662.[1] None of the individuals have done any Y-SNP testing and FTDNA simply predicts they fall under R1b-M269. One individual in this group has SNP tested R-P312>>U152>L2. Another individual claiming John Brown as his MDKPA and Y111 STRs has not SNP tested. The NevGen Haplogroup Predictor Tool states this individual is most likely R1b U152>L2>Z49>Z142>Z51 with a 58.76% probability (all other predictions are less than 3% with a 34.3% prediction of falling into an "unsupported subclade".
- ↑ this group has other close STR matches who list various MDKPAs, but all are somehow closely related to each other.
NGS/WGS testing
NGS testing of Y-DNA descendants of John Brown (and ideally descendants of his son, James) would refine the placement of this family.
