Notes

Robert was a young man when listed as one of the first Quakers to settle in the valley of Bush River somewhere in the 1762-1765 range most likely. He was obviously a well respected member to the Bush River Monthly Meeting. He was often appointed to take care of the affairs of the Quaker Church. Ex.: He was one of the persons appointed to check on the clear intent of a man, Joseph McNeal, who had requested marriage on the 1st mo. 1779 in the Bush River Monthly Meeting to Elizabeth Perkins. Robert purchased 200 acres of land on Aug 24, 1770 on Mathias Branch of Bush River adjacent to James Dobbins, John Myers, John Coate, Benjamin Neal and William Dillan. (C-2603) Robert was in the 1779 Old Ninety Sixth District census records along with John Coats (his neighbor?). His death was reported to the Bush River Monthly Meeting on Mar. 27, 1784 as occurring on 3/4/1784. He was buried at the Friends Burial Ground at Bush River and was listed at age 40 at the time of his death in Hinshaw's Quaker Encyclopedia. His wife was listed in the 1790 census. Some of their children moved to Tennessee and some moved to Miami County, Ohio. (C-95)
