text:
John Browne was an Irish cartographer and sheriff. Browne appears to have been a member of the Anglo-Norman Browne family of Kilpatrick, County Westmeath. By his own account, he was "the first Englishman (Anglo-Irish) that in the memory of man settled himself to dwell in the county of Mayo." In August 1583, while servant to Sir Christopher Hatton, he created town plans of Athenry and Galway, which he sent to Sir Francis Walsingham. That November, he was appointed the first Sheriff of County Mayo
