| 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.
