Robert would have been about 94 when he died in 1714, if he is theoriginal Robert who came to this country in 1652. All of the childrenwere adults at the time of his death. He very likely came over as anindentured servant and probably had to work seven years to gain hisfreedom. He would not have been free to marry without his master'spermission; therefore, he probably married late in life. -J. HoyleMayfield, 1994Glouster Co., VA - Richard Long . . . M. 3 235 DEC 6, 1652 350
