    b. before 1453
     

         ROBERT was born at Nutley, Hampshire, England, before 1453. LDS evidence lists date as "Abt 1479" which must be in error because it also lists first child's birth as "Abt 1478". It is assumed that 1479 is an error for 1459..1 He married JOAN (?) at England before 1457.2
