• Notes

  Robert was a farmer and miller who spent most of his life in Portsmouth. He signed a will on 10 Mar 1721. This will was proved on 13 August 1722. The will names his wife as Johanna, so I assume that she was his second wife. It also says that Job, Jonathan, and Caleb were all under 21 years of age at that time. I have estimated the dates of the children's births. Also, I am unsure of Anne Cory's dates, and of the year of Robert's assumed second marriage.
