Roger was admitted to a reversion of 3 acres of land called Chalkeney Crofts, and he paid a fine of 1-06/08 pounds. In 1619, Roger and Mary were admitted to the house called "Humpherys," and the garden adjoining, and paid for fine 2-15-00 pounds. in 1623, Roger was admitted to "the House upon the west in Chiffin Lane that he hath estate in only for life, then it is the Lds, and he paid for fine 3-00-00 pounds" (Manor of Colne Priory, register of Admission Fines from 1610, Notes of Fines made by Richard Harlakenden, D/DPr. 100 Essex County register Office, Chelmsford. In 1623 entry the phrase "then it is the Lds" meant that after Roger's death, the property in Chiffin Lane would revert back to the lord of the manor, that is, Richard Harlakenden himself. How "Chalkeney Croft" was transferred from Roger to his brother John is not explained in the existing manorial court rolls).

Roger moved late in life from Earl's Colne to Aldham, Essex, and his will dated Aug 4, 1635, proved at Colchester Oct 22, 1635, contained the clause: "To my two sons John and Richard brownson and to Mary Brownson my daughter, 12d. each if ever they come to demand the same'" this phrase shows that John and Richard had left Essex and sailed for New England before Aug 4, 1635.
