  Notes	Robert lived in Fredericton where about 1812, he married Phoebe Russell, a descendant of loyalists from Connecticut. In 1817, he obtained a land grant for three roods and 13 perches at the north-west corner of present day Regent and Brunswick Streets in downtown Fredericton. The location of his land was one block north of where his brother George built his house in 1833. Isabelle Louise Hill in "The Old Burying Ground Fredericton N.B." says that Robert bred horses and was well off financially. He was described as a yeoman, which might have referred to him as a landowner. Robert died in Fredericton in 1823 at age 37 and was buried in the Old Burial Ground.
