Robert Painter, son of Hannah (née Braddock) and John Painter, senior, was born on 21 March 1738 in Evesham Township, Burlington County, Province of New Jersey.

Robert Painter and Eunice Osmond were married on 16 December 1761 in Frederick County, Virginia. (The Hopewell Monthly Meeting there recorded that the marriage was "Decently accomplished.") The couple had no children. Robert Painter died prior to 1814, when his wife, alone, transferred from the Hopewell Monthly Meeting to the Plainfield Meeting in Union County, New Jersey.

Notes

"Robert Painter was born the 21st day of the 1st Month 1738" (Record of Marriages: Hopewell Monthly Meeting (manuscript), p. 35.) Prior to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1752 by England, Wales, and British colonies, the first month was March.

"Robert Painter, Son of John and Hannah Painter, and Eunice Osmond, Daughter of John and Martha Osmond; 16th day of 12th month, 1761; at Crooked Run [Frederick County, Virginia]." (Joint Committee of Hopewell Friends, Hopewell Friends History, 1734-1934, Frederick County, Virginia; Records of Hopewell Monthly Meetings and Meetings Reporting to Hopewell [...] (Strasburg, Va.: Shenandoah Publishing House, Inc., 1936), p. 244.)

Will of John Painter, senior, dated 6 Feb 1770, proved 5 Mar 1771: "I give and bequeath to my well beloved son Robert Painter all my blacksmith tools which he hath in his possession to him his heirs and assigns forever [...] It is my will that all the remainder of my movable estate be equally divided amongst my said children as I allow, Sarah Humber, John Painter, Robert Painter, Jane Branson, Thomas Painter, Isaac Painter, and Hannah Painter to them their heirs and assigns forever."

4 Mar 1776: Robert Painter and George Shin to inquire into John Follis's clearness about his intended marriage. (Minutes of Hopewell Monthly Meeting, 1759-1776 (manuscript), p. 349.)

5 Dec 1795: Crooked Run MM requested Robert Painter attend the marriage of Jacob Branson and Rebekah Holloway to "see the same Orderly Accomplished [and] make Report Thereof to next Monthly Meeting." (Crooked Run Minutes, 1794-1796 (manuscript).)
