Brown baronets of London (1699)

The Brown baronetcy, of London, was created in the Baronetage of England on 14 December 1699 for William Brown, a Scottish merchant in Danzig.[1]

The 2nd Baronet appeared as Sir John Browne "of Kew-Green" in 1727;[2] he sold his residence to Queen Caroline of Ansbach, and it formed part of Kew Palace.[1] The 3rd Baronet lived in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and his given name is not known.[1] The title is presumed to have become extinct on his death circa 1760.[3]
