John and Hannah Browne House. This was a part of the lot of Francis Collins, and was owned by him as early as 1658. The selectmen voted, 5 : 10 jno : 1670, that " ffranc Collince haue liberty to felltwenty trees for to build his fon Jno Brown to build him a houfe," etc. The house was built upon this lot, and Mr. Collins conveyed the land and house to his daughter Hannah and her husband John Brown of Salem, mariner, Dec. 7, 1680.t A cartway over Mr. Collins' land by the north end of his house to the street was also given in the deed. Mr. and Mrs. Brown died before Nov. 22, 1728, when their children, William Browne, mariner, Samuel Lambert, shoreman, and his wife Margaret, and widow Hannah Bray, all of Salem, for ninety-nine pounds, conveyed their interest in the estate to their brother Joseph Browne of Salem, mariner**, John Browne had died some years before, probably, as Mrs. Brown was then the widow Cubbert. Mr. Browne apparently moved the house forward nearer the street, and died,possessed of the same in 1756. The house was then called " an old house." It was standing in 1760, but gone in 1763.
