Named in his father’s 1669 will.

A copy of Robert's will still exists. It is dated 16 February 1669. In the will Robert leaves his possessions to his wife and children. Among these possessions are a considerable number of AFrican slaves. The will was probated on 2 May 1670. This means Robert died sometime between February 1669 and May 1670.
