From Savage:25 Robert came in the Defence from London, 1635, aged 45, with wife, no doubt his second, Elizabeth 30, says the custom-house record but probably 33, and ten children: Michael, 20; Sarah, 18; Robert, 16; Elizabeth 12; Ann, 10; Mary, 9; Rebecca, 8; John, 6; Zechary, 4; and Joshua, 9 months. He settled in Charlestown, and was freeman 25 May 1636. He had been an innholder at Dunstable, Co. Bedford, 30 miles from London, therefore well known to Rev. Zechariah Symmes, rector in that church (in whose honor, perhaps, he called one of his sons), artillery company 1639, was a selectman, kept the inn, and died leaving a good estate. His will, made 10 July 1658, names his widow who lived to 29 May 1687, aged 84, and eleven children being, all those he brought except Robert, who had died near seven years before; beside Ruth, and Deborah. The registry of Dunstable, England which mentions the baptism of his son Zechary, 20 Oct 1630, relates also, that a Sarah was buried 12 Dec 1631, so she was not his daughter.
