Miranda/1820 was probably born in Pembroke, Genesse Co., New York where there is evidence of Robert's residency in 1817. The 1820 census places Robert and some of his family in Huron Co., Ohio. He is also enumerated again in February 1821 in Pembroke, Genesse Co., N.Y. Apparently the entire family moved to Huron Co., Ohio later that year.

First settlers in Howard Township, Cass County, Michigan in 1833 where they remained for the rest of their lives. The Salisbury Cemetery is on one acre of their original land."
