Hello Kenneth - the England Project would like to co-manage this profile with you and give it Project Protection due to him being confused with an emigrant to the American Colonies. I will send you a Trusted List request from the England Project account. Please accept this and I will do the rest! If you have any questions, please contact me directly or via a reply to this comment.
Members of the England Project Managed Profiles Team will also be adding some additional sources to this profile. We would be very pleased if you wished to join us in doing this.
Best wishes, Jo. England Project Managed Profiles Team coordinator
This is not a real person - the source for this person is taken from a misreading of the Alumni Cantabrigienses. Edward and Robert Hobart, sons of Sir Henry, matriculated from St John's college in 1623. These have been made into sons Edward & Robert who were both born in 1623, but these sons never existed (and also could not be half brother's of the other children, as Sir Henry's wife (and mother to all his children) Dorothy out-lived him.)
Below is the entry for Robert:
Robart HOBART
Matric. Fell.-Com. from ST JOHN'S, Easter 1623.
6th s. of Sir Henry (1570), Knt. and Bart., Chief Justice K.B.

Died s.p.
Brother of Edward (1623).

Thank you the England Project are trying to sort the Hobarts out now and there’s a few of us working on it.
If you have any additional information we would be very grateful. One thing we haven’t found is Robert’s death. He appears to have died sometime between 1625 and 1640.
