This Christopher Browne was Sheriff of Rutlandshire, 8th and 16th Hen. VII. (1492 and 1500) and 1st Hen. VIII. (1509). He came over with Hen. VII., and assisted him against Richard III., for which good service King Hen. VIII., on the 6th day of July, in the 18th year of his reign, granted to his eldest son, Francis Browne, of counsel to Lady Margaret Beaufort (mother of Hen. VII.), Countess of Richmond and Derby, a patent, exempting him from holding the office of Sheriff or Escheater, and authorizing him to appear with his head covered in the presence of the King, his heirs, and successors, and of all great men, lords spiritual and temporal, and all other persons whomsoever of the kingdom. [Fuller's Hist. of the worthies of England.] That part of the arms, which appear in the 1st quarter, viz., per bend Argent and Sable, 3 mascles bendways counterchanged, and the crest, were, in 1480 (20th Edw. IV.), granted to this Christopher Browne. [See Blore's Rutland, p. 219, where the grant is set out at length.]

In 1677 he made a complaint "against Sarah Talor for going from him or his service in a disorderly way, and for accusing his wife of cruel beating of her," with allusion to the "poverty of the girl's relations." It was ordered "yt [Ann person?] the girl's mother take care of her for the future to see that she be placed out in some godly family and in the mean time she refraine the company of Goodwif Houldredge & Susan Buswell."

He reigned from about 629 until his death in 642. From Wikipedia:
He first appears in 622, when the Annals of Tigernach report his presence at the battle of Cend Delgthen (probably in the east midlands of Ireland) as an ally of Conall Guthbinn of Clann Cholmáin. This is the only battle known where Domnall Brecc fought on the winning side.
Domnall suffered four defeats after he broke Dál Riata's alliance with the Cenél Conaill clan of the Uí Néill. In Ireland, Domnall and his ally Congal Cáech of the Dál nAraidi were defeated by Domnall mac Áedo of the Cenél Conaill, the High King of Ireland, at the Battle of Mag Rath (Moira, County Down) in 637. He also lost to the Picts in 635 and 638 and lastly to Eugein I of Alt Clut at Strathcarron in 642, where he was killed. | -, Domnall Brecc King of Dál Riata (I3018)

He ruled Dál Riata (northwestern Ireland and western Scotland) from 726 until his death in 733. From Wikipedia:
Eochaid came to power as king of Dál Riata in 726, presumably deposing Dúngal mac Selbaig. Selbach may have tried to restore his son to power, and fought against Eochaid's supporters at Irros Foichnae in 727, but without apparent success. The annals vary as to whether the despatch of a fleet from Dál Riata to Ireland to aid Flaithbertach mac Loingsig in his war with Áed Allán should be placed in the reign of Eochaid, or that of his successor. | -, Eochaid mac Echdach King of Dál Riata (I3015)

He was a church warden in 1564. His will was dated 24 Nov. 1568 and was proved at Bury St. Edmunds 31 May 1574. According to "Early Settlers of Watertown":
Christopher's Will is dated Nov. 24, 1568; proved May 31, 1574. It makes no mention of his wife, who was probably deceased. He gives legacies in money to his son Thomas, dr. Joan Baylye. his godsons [grandsons] Ambrose and William Baylye, sons of Thomas [Thomas Baylye's Will is dated 1559, witnessed by Christopher and Robert Browne] ; and to his son Robert Browne, he gives " the lease of my fearme in as large and ampple manner as I hav it," and also all the rest of his estate, real and personal, and appoints him executor. Witnesses are John Andrear [? Andrew], Thomas Hamonde, Robert Brydges, James Hawton, and Robert Shaw, Clerk.
Neither the Deans nor Swans are mentioned in this Will. It is not improbable that his elder brother, Robert, was still living, and in possession, but without heirs male, so that his son Thomas was heir presumptive to the Deans and Swans, under the first Christopher's Will. His son Thomas being thus provided for, would account for his younger son Robert being made principal legatee and executor. | Browne, Christopher (I2391)

He was a draper and Merchant of the Staple of Calais. According to TheFreeDictionary.com:
Merchants of the Staple or Merchant Staplers, English trading company that controlled the export of English raw wool. The first wool staple (i.e., a place designated by royal ordinance as a special center of commerce) was established in 1294, and the first compulsory staple, where all wool exporters were required to trade, was set up in 1314. The staple was moved from place to place according to political needs, but in 1363 a group of 26 English merchants was incorporated as the Company of the Staple at Calais with a complete monopoly of wool exports. The staple thereafter remained almost continuously at Calais until 1558, and the company's resources contributed heavily to the defense of that city against the French. The company's wealth and importance diminished with the rise of the English cloth trade and the loss of Calais to the French in 1558. The staple was moved to Bruges, and the staplers retained their monopoly until 1617, when the export of raw wool was prohibited and home staples established. They then became domestic wool brokers. The staplers were the only trading company to be organized on a commodity rather than a regional basis.
Being one of the 26 merchants is quite and honor. The crown granted the organization a monopoly in exchange for the ability to collect export taxes. If trade were open to everyone, taxes would likely be harder to collect. According to Wikipedia, the organization still exists, but is just a dining club in Yorkshire.
From the 11th until the 15th century, Stamford was a leader in the wool trade. At the time, it was one of the largest towns in England. So, it's not surprising that John Browne was such a powerful man in the wool business.
John was an alderman (which at the time was chief magistrate) of Stanford in 1414, 1412 and 1427. Also, he had, at his own expense, the All Saints Church re-built much as it is today. According to "Early Settlers of Watertown":
All Saints Church is one of the principal ornaments of Stamford. It is a large, well-proportioned structure, consisting of a nave, two aisles, and two chancels, one of which is at the end of the south aisle, and the other answering to the nave. It was built at the expense of Mr. John Browne, merchant of the staple of Calais, who, with his wife, lies buried at the upper end of the north aisle.
On a gilt brass plate in the wall is this inscription:
u Orate pro animabus, Johannis Browne, mercatoris stapule Calisie, et Margerie uxoris ejus qui quidem Johannis, obijt XXVI0 die mensis Julii an d'n'i MCCCCXLIJ, etque quede' Margerie obijt XXIJ die Novembris a° d'n'i MCCCCLX0 quor' animabus p'pi'cieter Deus. Amen." | Browne, John (I2425)

He was a farmer and a carpenter. He built the family home at 615 Walnut St in Freeland. It was a very large double three story building and was owned by Miles Bressler. When he died it was willed to Florence. The Kresge farm was located near McMichaels, a small village near Gilbert, Brodheadsville, and Kresgeville in Monroe County. It was probobly origonally owned by Frederich (his name is listed as Ferdinand in "Decendants of Conrad Kresge"), Ezra's brother. It was later run by John (Frederich's son) and his wife Pearl. The family used to visit the farm in Florence's 1928 Nash, a large, expensive car in those days. Arlene drove (Arlene and Marian were the only ones who ever had a license). The drive from Freeland took about one hour and was seldom completed without getting a flat tire (tires were undependable in those days which is why two spares were carried, one on each running board near the engine). The Nash barely made it up Effort Mountain in second gear with a full load (Arlene, Ezra, Alice, Florence, Mary Miles Bressler, and Robert Unangst). | Kresge, Ezra (I136)
