Born: 1605
Baptised: 6/2/1605 Axmouth
Died: After 1667
Robert married Mary WHITTY (buried 28/2/1667 Axmouth) at Branscombe, Devon on the 1st May 1633. Mary outlived Robert and went on to marry a John WHITE of Axmouth on 6th November 1673. John was possibly a relation of Mary’s mother. A John WHITE of Axmouth was executed in 1685 for supporting the Monmouth Rebellion. He wasn’t the only one. Colyton (and its districts which included Axmouth) was the second most rebellious town in England, after Taunton. Many of the rebels came from this area of Devon and many were executed for their part. All of the rebels were known and registered with the Assizes Court. There Colliers were also listed from this area and it seems very likely that they were related to the family in some way (see Appendix I for a list)
Robert and Mary had 3 children:
Robert (born: 1633, baptised: 2/8/1633)
Marie
Mary
