Robert Barber
(1600-1638)

Robert Barber was the second of at least seven children of William Barber and his wife Mary of Witcham, Cambridgeshire, England.

Robert married Winifred Gunton when he was about 27 years old, and the couple had at least four children, but sadly the first two (both daughters) struggled to thrive and died as infants.

Robert wrote his Will on 15th March 1638, presumably from his death bed. He was buried just five days later.
