14. | Robert Latham was born about 1623 in England (son of Nicholas Latham and Elizabeth Newman); died before 1688 in East Bridgewater, MA. Notes:
Robert was convicted of manslaughter in February 1654/1655 (Old Style calendar) for the death of his young servant, John Walker. The jury found that John's death was caused by "unreasonable correction [that is, whippings and beatings], by withholding the necessary food and clothing, and by exposing [John] to extremities of seasons." The court punished Robert by branding him on the hand and confiscating all of his property. He apparently was able to climb the economic ladder again, and by at least 1660 he was a landowner.
In 1676, Indians burned Robert's house and barn to the ground. Robert and his family were away at the time, so they were not injured, and most of his personal property and crops were saved. A party of settlers set off after the Indians, but the Indians were not caught.
Robert married Susanna Winslow about 1649 in Plymouth, MA. Susanna (daughter of John Winslow and Mary Chilton) was born before 1630 in Plymouth, MA; died after 14 Nov 1685 in East Bridgewater, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
