John Brown was the son of Andrew Brown.1 He married Rebecca Boaden, daughter of Ambrose Boaden.1 He died in 1695 in Marblehead, Essex County, Massachusetts.1
As young men John Brown and his brother Andrew saw much service in King Philip's War. In Boston in 1675, perhaps on a coasting vessel, they were impressed to go on an expedition to Kennebec under Capt. Thomas Moore. On their return they were assigned to garrison duty at Black Point, as related in their father's petition to the General Court, and remained there nine or ten months. With their father, they were listed as living three musket-shot from the Scottow garrison in October 1676. By the granting of the petition they were released from duty in July 1677, and when the garrison was abandoned, Andrew Brown went to Massachusetts, presumably Boston, with the other refugees.2 He eventually settled in Marblehead as a fisherman.1
