About one-half year before he died, Robert’s father Richard of the parish of Greate St. Bartholomew in the City of London, declared his last will and testament (noncupative, or by word of mouth), and gave to his son-in-lawe, John STILES 20L that he ought (owed) him, for and because of his two children, and to the two children he gave 12 pence apiece.
He appointed his son Robert BRACEWELL to be his executor,

1 Apr 1642 Notts. Eng. ? Robert married Faith ALLEN in Edwinstowe, Nottingham, England. (This town is about 5 miles from Rufford, where Robert’s uncle Edward (or Edmund) made his will 11 May 1674. Rufford adjoins Sherwood Forest and is on a main road leading NW from Grantham, Eng., home of Robert’s father. It would seem that Robert would have tried to be near family after the deaths of his parents). This is the only marriage for a Robert on the IGI for all of England that is in the right time period. There were many ALLENS in Isle of Wight Co., Va., where Robert settled. I haven’t made a search of ALLEN wills, etc., in Nottinghamshire to try to prove this. Robert & Faith could have had the 5 children in England before coming to Va. 1650.
