  WILL: Dated Nov. 6, 1714; pvd Aug. 1, 1715; Exor wife Sarah. Overseers: friend Nathaniel Soule & son Smiton Brownell. Sons: Smiton, George, Thomas, William, Benjamin & Robert; daughters: Alice, Martha, Ann & Mary. [Austin] Mentions land in Little Compton. Witnesses: Nathaniel Soule and Joseph Mosher. [Bristol Co. Probate 3:230-231; p. 67 in recent book] Little Compton, town page detail: BROWNELL William, ---, 1648 d. (---, 1715). (americanancestors.org) William may have been s/o Thomas Brownell: BROWNELL Thomas, 1619, died before 1665 (Little Compton) BROWNELL Thomas, ----, 1650. BROWNELL William, of Thomas, ----. Town Page Detail: Portsmouth Birth (Vol. 1 : Pg. 144) Portsmouth, RI BROWNELL Sarah (Smiton, of William, dec.), his wife, ----. Town Page Detail: Birth (Vol. 1 : Pg. 144) Portsmouth, RI (same page as William above) William named a son Thomas: BROWNELL Thomas, of William and Sarah, May 25, 1674, LC. A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect shows his parents as Thomas and Ann (Bourne) Brownell. This seems to agree with some of the rather fragmented birth notes I found referring to a couple Thomas & Ann, and some births for children surnamed Brownell.
