Notes

From Cutter:

"Her brother, Robert Dutch, was in Bloody Brook battle, was wounded and left for dead on the field and found by Captain Moseley's men when the Indians were stripping the dead the day afterward, and recovered from his wounds."

The following is from the Shiels reference:

Robert was the only surviving child of his father's first marriage. "He most probably came to America with his step-mother, Grace Pratt Dutch and his half sisters Alice and Grace about 1639."

Robert was 'of Ipswich' when married.

Robert and Mary had 8 children

Robert Dutch had a wife Mary, and sons John, Robert, Samuel, and Benjamin, and a daughter Mary, born here. He bought land of John Coit, jun; which he probably improved in fishing and agricultural employments. In 1656, he sold to Edward Haraden his house and thirty acres of land on Planter's Neck, with the stage, and all appurtenances belonging to it; and twelve acres upon the Meeting-house Neck, with a barn and orchard; the whole comprising all his possessions in Gloucester. He afterwards lived in Ipswich, and was a soldier in the Indian war of 1675. In one of the skirmishes with the savages, he was wounded, beaten, stripped, and left for dead; but he recovered, and was soon joined and relieved by bis friends. He died before 1691.
