Notes for Sir John Browne
Kent visitation says, for both Browne entries, that he m. Anne Belwood but one says of Lincs and the other of Lancs. The 1574 visitation says she was of Lincs.
Further on p. 212 of the Kent Visitation it says that his father was Sir Thos Browne of the Bletchworth castle, etc family. His father may have been Thomas but does not look like the Bletchworth mob, at all, at all.

On 2 Jun 2006, Will Johnson found some good info on John Browne, his wife Anne and his son William:
Item One: That William is son of John Browne died by 6 Jul 1498 and that he has a sister Belknap in 1498
Reference: DE/Z120/44984 - Agreement - Creation dates: 6 July 1498
Scope and Content
Between William Broun, esq, 1st, and Reynold Pegge, 2nd, for the former, with
Christine his wife, to assure to the latter the manor of Oxhey [Richard] [ac:
Watford, Hertfordshire] and lands there formerly of John Broun, father of
William, while Reynold Pegge and Anne his wife are to assure to William Broun
lands & tenements in Rothersthorpe, Middleton beside Collingtree, Horton,
Piddington, Milton and Harlestone, Northampton. If William has no heirs, remainder to Alice, wife of Edward Belknapp, esq, sister to William; if she has no heirs
remainder to John Brown "dwellynge beside Nonne Eyton".
Signature. Seal
Item Two: That William, Lord Mayor in 1513 is the son of John Browne and Anne
Belwood
"In his will, he calls himself “William Browne, citizen and alderman of the
Citie of London and nowe maier of the same,” requests burial “in the church of
St. Thomas the Marter called Acon of London,” and mentions that he has
“remaynyng in my handes … the residue of the goods of Sir John Browne, Knight, and
of Dame Anne, late his wife, my fader and moder.”"

Item Three: That Anne, widow of John Browne has a "well beloved sister Isabel
Belknap" [here I'm supposing that she is actually a sister-in-law and
identical with "Alice" above]
"In her will (P.C.C. Holgrave), in which she refers to herself as “Anne
Browne, widow, late the wife of Sr John Brown Knyght, citizen … and alderman of
London,” she mentions “the p’sshe church off Belton in the countie of Lincoln
wher I was christened,” and refers to her son Thomas Browne, her son William
Browne, her “wellbeloved brother Thomas Belwoode,” of Belton, his children
Thomas,[181] John, Elizabeth Lounde, and Kateryne Belwood, her “wellbeloved sister Isabell Bellenap,....."
