he was born and raised somewhere in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. His father owned a large plantation and had many slaves. How many brothers and sisters he had I do not know. Robert was sent away to school. When he finished his education, returned home, and I suppose like lots of young men at that age was very bossy and independent, thought he could boss the slaves around. His father being in kind man to his help, objected, a quarrel followed and Robert left home. (At what age I do not know). He drifted to New Jersey where he married and had three sons. His wife died, and leaving his sons in care of his wife's parents, he left and came to Northumberland Co., Shamokin Township, Pennsylvania. There he met Sarah Price and they were married July 2nd, 1835, by Justice of the Peace W. H. Munch. To this union were born 10 children. Two died in infancy, eight growing up. He died in summer of 1852 and was buried near Shamokin, Penn. The following are the names of their children: Maria, Jackson, Susan, Aron, Alba, Julianne, Rosannah and John.
