  • Notes 
    • Some genealogies show this Robert as a son of Robert & Sarah Westgate of Warwick. However, there is a Warwick will for a Robert Westgate, Jr., who died Jan/Feb 1749/50. That individual is more likely to have have been the son of Robert & Sarah.

      Robert & Patience had the following children named in his will and/or the will of his mother-in-law, Hannah Carr: Avis (m. 26 June 1745 William Smith b. 21 Feb 1715), Patience (m. Peleg Arnold), Sarah (m. Benjamin Watson), Hannah (m. James Aborn), & Mary.

      The executor of his will was son-in-law Peleg Arnold.
