Robert Stanford first appears in Plymouth Colony in June 1667. He was of Scituate in 1672.
He was still there in March 1678/9 when Lydia, wife of Isacke Hanmore, accused him ‘to be the father of the child lately born of her body.’ (PDR:6 6-7) [5] He was ordered to pay support. Robert was of Marshfield by 6 Jul 1680.
Robert died between between 15 May 1721 and 7 Mar 1721/2 according to this source, although neither the place nor a primary source citation are shown.[6]

Stanford-286 and Stanford-149 appear to represent the same person because: Roughly the same birth year. No sources found to support either year or place (i.e., they are guesses). Same spouses (see bio of -149). Death date on -286 is supported by one secondary source which does not mention a death place. Please merge
