| Notes |
- Robert served in the 30 Year War under Gustavos Adolphus. In 1642 he went to Ireland with his brother, Daniel and seized Belfast on behalf of the Scottish Estates and English Parliament on 14 May 1644. They both then settled in Ireland in the 1650s.
Robert married the widow of the 2nd Viscount Montgomery of Ards and gained several townlands in County Down as a dowry.
Robert's death date is in doubt. Mackenzie says 1675, but some think he lived into the 1680's.
