On January 12 1621 Peter Browne, John Goodman and others had entered the forest some distance from the Pilgrim plantation in order to find material for roofing thatch. Sometime around noon, Browne and Goodman wandered further into the forest while the other men stayed behind ... the pair was lost when their dogs chased a deer... 10-12 armed men to searched for them, �they wandered all that afternoon being wet, and at night it did freeze and snow, they were slenderly appareled and had no weapons but each one sickle.� At night they thought they heard �lions� in the forest and climbed a tree for shelter. The next day they finally climbed the highest hill they could find, were able to see their harbor and find their way back to the settlement. Browne and Goodman finally arrived in Plymouth quite cold, forest-bitten, tired and hungry, having survived their first experience alone in the New, England forest.
In the 1623 Division of Land, as a single man, Peter Browne received one �aker� of land �these lye on the South side of the brooke to the baywards.� In that record, his name appears as �Peter Browen.
