Conclusion

The 1713 Carnwath marriage to Katherine Wilson and the 1722 Libberton baptism
of son John define a local family. Robert's `about 1690` birth is an estimate;
no parents are identified.

Keep separate from Captain [Glasgow-2867](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-2867)
unless a maritime or probate record supplies a bridge. The captain's currently
attached family is unsupported and is neither evidence for nor against
identity with this Robert.
