Overview

Robert is said to have settled in what would later become Cumberland County, PA about 1738. However, no there are no primary documents that support the existence of Robert apart from a possible listing in East Pennsboro in the 1751 tax record. While his purported children William, Robert, and James shared YDNA markers and were likely brothers, it is unknown whether their father was also a man named Robert. Genetic evidence suggests that not all relatives came to America at the same time.
