Living with robert was his mother, Agnes, who died in 1619. Robert moved to Ansley a few years later. robert also purchased lands in Broughton, Witherly and thus by age 43 owned property in Crosby, Huncote, Ansley and Witherly. He also had interest in trade, or 'ventures on the sea'.'

'Robert immigrated to America, along with his children, Job; who had already been to America, John, Robert, Sarah, and Lydia. The name of ship they sailed on is unknown, but is believed to be the same ship carrying Tristram Coffin who was to become governor of Nantucket, arrived on. They landed in Salisbury and traveled to Penntucket. Shortly after his arrival, he and 5 other colonists, arranged for the puchase of land from the Indians. The land purchased is on the site of present day Haverhill, Mass.'
