There are two sub-branches here, the Depue line traces back to Dutch New Amsterdam/New York in the early to mid 1600s, and the Brown line that has been traced back to the same time period in Connecticut and Massachusetts. I've had some luck in tracing those lines back into the Netherlands and England respectively, but that's still a work-in-progress.
