At the age of eighteen Robert emigrated from Scotland, living for a time in Boston. While there, he was a member of the Brattle Street Church.
He was a member of St. Andrews Lodge of Free Masons (Paul Revere was also a member) and of the Scot's Charitable Society.
Robert and Rebecca married December 15, 1687 in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. I believe they had nine children together.
After the move to Bradford, he became a member of the West Parish Church of Bradford.
Robert's will was written on January 9, 1740. At his death, his property was distributed to his wife and the five surviving children.
Among other things he left his "loom and tackle for weaving", to he may have been a weaver in Scotland. We know he was also a stone cutter, for there are records of headstones he carved. At least three of his sons, Robert, Jr., John and Joseph had learned that trade.
Robert's homestead was on the bank of the Merrimac River. Earlier the land had been known as "Kimball's Pasture".
∼Robert Mulliken was a Scotchman, and tradition makes him come from Glasgow. He probably sailed from that port, but from the spelling of his surname, it would seem that he was a native of some one of the northern counties. His name appears on the Brattle Street Church records of Boston in connection with others of the family as early as 1686. He settled in Rowley, now Bradford, Mass., his homestead being in a pleasant spot on the bank of the Merrimac River. He united with the West Parish Church of Bradford, Mass., June 26, 1720, and the following exclamation was written after the entry of his name in the records: "To God shall be all the glory." Following the name of his wife, who united with the church the first of May that year, are the Latin words: Trinni Deo Glorica. Some of his children were born and christened in Boston, as the Brattle Street Church records show. He made his will Jan. 9, 1740, and died June 11, 1741, leaving a widow and five children."
