  • Notes 
    • Great Baddow Parish Register: Robert the sonne of Robert Pease and his wife bap. April 1630.

      At the age of 4 (1634) he traveled to Salem on the 'Francis' with his father Robert and his uncle John. Following the death of his father in 1644, the 14 year old Robert lived with his mother for a year, and at the age of 15 was apprenticed to Thomas Root of Salem for a term of five years. When his term expired in 1650 he appears in Edgertown, Mass. where his uncle had taken up residence in 1644. He evidently returned to Salem before 1660 (Banks), where he appears in 1667 with the birth of the first of his children.

      He was with the Salem Company during King Philips War of 1676-6. Both he and his wife suffered imprisonment in 1692 when they were suspected of witchcraft. His wife was living in 1704 and he was living in 1713 when he was dismissed from the church in Salem to aid in forming the first church at what is now Peabody, Mass. No further record has been found of them.

      NOTE: See Elaine Pease's article on Sarah Pease's 1692 incarceration as an accused Salem witch.

      He married Sarah. She died after 1704.
