• Notes

  Robert was born in Cold Springs Harbor, Suffolk County. This is likely. He was baptized in Hempstead, which is in (then) Queens County, as an "adult" which means he was likely (at least) 21 years old which was the age of majority in English Law. It appears that he married Eleanor Paulding in New York City. Also, several of his children appear to have been born in New York City. Did he moved back to Suffolk County during the Rev War?
