• Notes

  Robert was a Freeman in 1666. He was a member of a military co. of men from Marblehead and Salem. The company engaged in the war with the Narragansett Indians under the chief King Philip. Robert was wounded in the famous "Swamp Fight" in Dec. 16-19, 1675. One record states that his first wife's name may have been Mary Jenkins. His first four children were born in Scituate. After his second marriage he moved to Prince St. in Boston, where his other children were born. He owned considerable property, and was a fisherman by trade.
