William BROWN
Mary MURCOCK

Please Note: secondary sources claim our subject is the son of Mayflower Passenger, Peter BROWNE (1594/5-1633), but according to Caleb Johnson, Peter had no surviving sons (see Peter Browne at MayflowerHistory.com). William's alleged birthplace in Plymouth in 1625 was probably fabricated to support the connection.

2a. Clarence Almon Torry. 1985. New England Marriages Prior to 1700. New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, MA (reprinted 1997, Genealogical Publ. Co., Baltimore, MD):

The "b" indicates the birth date of a child as an indication that the marriage took place before this time. The locations are known residences of the husband, ending with the husband's place of death. An entry in Torrey does not imply a marriage in New England; it only demonstrates the presence of a married couple there before 1700. Torrey is a compilation of published sources, not primary records, so he should be considered a secondary source.
