Robert took up a donation land claim in 1853, six miles south of St. Helens in Columbia County, Oregon, where he lived until 1871. He sold out in that year and bought a ranch near Warren in Columbia County. Robert married Almyra "Ellen" Post on December 2, 1856, in the home of Uncle Billy Watts; they were married by William Jolly, a gospel minister.
