The inventory of the estate of George Browne of Newbury, taken 1 August 1642, totalled £52 6s. 10d., of which £32 was real estate: "a house and four acres of ground with an acre & half of corn on it," £12; and "his share in a mill at Salisbury," £20 [ILR 1:6; EPR 1:23].
  Death	Bef 1 Aug 1642  [1]
  	(date of will. Savage says 1 April 1642 [Savage 1:266], but this is not found in the Newbury vital records, and also contradicts the date of the will. Apparently Savage had a garbled date for the inventory (1 Aug 1642), and took it for the death date.)
