B 1709 &endash; would have been 21 by 1730 and children 21 by 1751 if not a year or two earlier for the oldest one

1.Robert had proven sons Robert, Absoleum, and possible implied sons Moses and Ascon and was James who was a WIT in 1772 another son
2. Was there another Robert in the 3rd generation who lived in Lenoir Co? Was this the same Robert who had land at Woodington in 1757 or was that a possible son of Joseph?
3. Moses may have been a son as his descendants state but the earliest date for Moses was 1747 which may not work. They lived in the same general area. Robert was 21 in 1730 and his possible children would not have been 21 until 1751 unless Robert was having children at the age of 15.
4. Did Abraham give his son the farm on Core Creek that he received a patent for? No way of knowing but Robert, son of Abraham never appears to have lived in Dobbs Co which might account for his not being the exec of his father's will.
5. I am inclined to think that Robert may have had a son Abraham also. He sold to both Abraham and Moses on the same day in 1780 which is when the descendants of Moses said he died. Abraham could have been his brother
6. Appears to have lived on Core Creek but had land on Flatt Swamp and in Dobbs Co. on Indian Cabin Branch. I don't think anyone but this Robert could have had that land on Indian Cabin branch. What happened to it?
7. Core Creek &endash; starts right at Cove City and runs north to the Neuse River
8. Only Flat Swamp we can find is rises in N Jones and flows into Rattlesnake. Rattlesname rises in N Jones and flows into Beaver Creek. I have one map that shows Rattlesnake actually rises in Lenoir.
9. Did Robert marry a daughter of James Green?
10. Robert appears to have been a blacksmith as was his son Absolem
11. neighbors at one time or another on Core Creek &endash; George and Francis Stinger, Solomon Beasley (who was his brother in law), Samuel Pope, Ebenezar Slade, John Dreaden, Furnifold Green, Joseph Bryan, William McCoy
