"Soon after 1662 John Browne moved to Marlboro MA. Among those whowere "portioned out" to the different families was a Mr. Browne (1676).This may have been John Browne, as he was there at that time. He sold hisfarm there to Thomas Rice. This was about the time of the marriage ofJohn Gustin to his daughter Elizabeth, with whom he went to Falmouth.From there, on destruction of the town, he returned to Watertown, wherehe dates his will Nov 20 1697. In the will he mentions his wife Esther orHester, all of his children, some of whom were born in Marlboro, hisson-in-laws Meacham, John Gustin, John Adams, John Darley or Darby, andJohn Hartshorne. Joseph 2nd, born 1679, married Nov 5th 1699 RuhamahWelling, granddaughter of Rober Wellington whose name is on the earliestlist of proprietors of Watertown. His wife was daughter of Dr. RichardPalgrave of Charlestown. He is described as "a right Godly man, askillful chyrugeon.""
"He resided some time at Cambridge. Is called in old records aScotchman.
"In 1678 the parents removed in company with the Augustines toFalmouth, Maine, but at the second destruction of that town were drivenaway and came to Watertown, there he dates his will, Nov 20, 1697.."."

"Came to New England in 1632 and settled in Cambridge, MA, living inthat part of the town then known as Menotomy, but now called Arlington.Sold his estate in Menotomy Oct 27, 1665 (after marriage) and 4 dayslater purchased land at Marlboro. In the deed of purchase he is styled"Scotsman". His land in Marlboro he sold to Thomas Rice about the time ofKing Phillip's war and in 1677 we find the Browns and probably JohnGustine living for a short time in the section of Salem called BassRiver, which was set off from Salem as Beverly in 1668. After KingPhillip's war, in 1680, John Gustin received for services in that war, agrant of land at Falmouth. Here John Brown and his wife moved with theirdaughter Elizabeth and son-in-law John Gustin and remained until thedestruction of Falmouth by the Indians. They then removed to Watertown,MA."

" Soon after birth of Mary , 4th child, in 1662, John moved to Marlboro from Cambridge, and had 6 more children. In 1678, he sold his farm in Marlboro, to Thomas Rice, and probably soon after moved to Falmouth. From Falmouth he moved to Watertown at what time is not known.
Addendum states the following:
It was once thought probable that this John Brown might have been a son of John Browne, of Watertown, born the year before he left England, but in a deed recorded in Mid. records, he is called "a Scotchman" and the first John of Watertown left only 2 daughters and widow. John Brown's daughter Deborah married Jeremiah Meacham of Salem,and his daughter Elizabeth married Jan 10, 1677 John Gustin."

After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Braden homesteaded near Fairfield in Billings County, where they resided for 16 years. In 1934 the family moved to Beach.
Mrs. Braden was a very devoted wife and mother. Always sympathetic and understanding, she was often called to help care for the sick, which she did willingly. She had been a diabetic sufferer for the past two years and the last three weeks before her death she was a patient in the Beach hospital, where uremic poisoning brought about her death.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Braden is survived by eight children, Jessie Irene, (Mrs. Richard Weber, New Rockford); Vera (Mrs. Florien Adams, Dickinson); Mable (Mrs. Hollis Adams, Rathdrum, Idaho); Arnold, (a soldier at Camp Stoneman, California); Floyd (a soldier at Camp Sam Houston, Texas); Bernard, Frank, and Virgil (employed in defense work in Seattle).
