Biography
From the History of Hardwick, Massachusetts[1]Robert, son of James, married Joanna Lawrence 13 Jan 1831-2 and had Elizabeth, b. 11 Nov 1732, married William Powers of Hardwick 17 Nov 1758; Joshua b. 19 Nov 1734; Joanna, b. 29 May 1737, married Isaiah Hatch 31 Jan 1756 and removed to Hardwick; and prob. others. Robert resided at Rochester.
Robert is mentioned in the will of his father. [2]
His inventory was taken on 2 July 1745, and presented by his widow, Joanna, and she gave oath to the inventory.[3]
In 1750, his widow presented an account of his estate.[4]
In 1760, his real estate could not be divided without prejudice, so by law, the eldest son, Joshua Whitcomb took possession and greed to pay the other children their share, viz., Elizabeth Powers, Joanna Hatch, Moses Whitcomb, and Olive Whitcomb.[5]
