Robert Anstruther was a son of James Anstruther (d. 1606) and Jean Scott of Abbotshall. He was from Anstruther in Fife, Scotland.
James Anstruther was the king's carver and Master of the Household. His eldest son, William Anstruther of Anstruther was a gentleman of the king's bedchamber, but had no heirs, so, in time, the Anstruther estates came to Robert's eldest son, Philip Anstruther.

On 22 April 1617, Sir Robert Anstruther married Mary Swift, the daughter of Sir Robert Swift of Doncaster. They had five children.

  1. Robert (born c. 1629)
  2. Philip (d. 1702)
  3. Christian (died in infancy)
  4. Elizabeth
  5. Sarah
