Robert was born on his father's plantation called "Brough". His father died in 1674. After his death, his mother married John Beale in 1674, had another child and died in 1675. Because Robert Jr. and his sister Elizabeth were very young, their father's will written in Sept 1673 stated: "To Thomas Sprigg (brother-in-law), Samuel Taylor and Robert Taylor, in event of Joane predeceasing the children, shall assume guardianship of the children". Therefore, their uncle Col. Thomas Sprigg Jr. raised him from age 4 years until age 17. Attaining his majority at age 17 per the terms of this father's will, Robert Jr. inherited and became the master of "Brough" manor as well as the adjoining 350 ac tract called "Bowdel's Choice" around 1689. It is believed he married Susannah (Duvall) sometime before 1694 because he was named as one of the Executors of her father's will. Robert Jr. purchased 3,000 ac of the original 3,800 ac "Darnall's Grove" on Jun 24, 1700. He attained more land and willed much of it to his children, which can be traced in his will and land records.
