• Notes

  Robert lived during the reign of King Henry II's time who ruled England from 1154-1189. (C-2162) He was listed as the "second sonne" of William in the original Digby Lineage scroll on vellum (1500's/1600's). (C-2267) According to Burke, Robert's lands at Billesdon were conveyed to his heirs in 1234. I'm assuming that is near his death date. (C-2163) He married his 1st cousin, daughter of his uncle according to Burke's book.
