    'Robert's will, dated 12 January 1606[/7?] and proved 21 May 1607, names sons William, Robert, John, and Charles, daughters Edith and Alice, brother Richard, "my sonnes childe Will[ia]m," and (as co-executors and principal legatees) son Richard and wife Elinor. Neither the will nor any other known record indicates which, if any, of Robert's children he fathered with Elinor.'
