George Browne, who married Elizabeth or Eleanor, the daughter of Sir
Richard Blount, was of Wickhambreux, Caversham, and also of West Shefford
in co. Berks; his name appears as thus in the Visitation of this county
anno 1623. Of the nineteen children, he had three sons whose names are not
given, and who died in the Royal cause during the civil wars: but as
Richard, the third son, is expressly mentioned, he certainly was not one of
the three killed in the service of King Charles I. Sir George Browne,
second, but eldest surviving son, was made a K.B. at the coronation of King
Charles II.; and was celebrated by Pope in his "Windsor Forest." He married
Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Francis Englefield, the second baronet of
Wootton Bassett, co. Wilts, and died _s. p. m._ George, the eldest born,
died an infant. Henry, the fourth son, died unmarried March 19, 1668, and
was buried at West Shefford; and John, the fifth son, was of Caversham, and
created a baronet May 19, 1665. He married the widow of ---- Bradley, and
was the ancestor of the baronets of Caversham, extinct in 1774. Three
daughters, whose names are not given, became nuns. Eleanor, another
daughter, died unmarried, Nov. 27, 1662, and was buried at West Shefford:
and Elizabeth was the wife of John Yate of West Hanney, co. Berks; and who
died Jan. 26, 1671, before his wife.
