Current profile7A published transcript of the congregation's early records identifies Robert as a stipend bondsman in 1699.

Current profile9These responsibilities indicate that Robert was already an adult congregational representative in 1699. His birth is therefore estimated as occurring before about 1678. His precise birth date and birthplace have not been established.

Current profile11Robert is attached as an uncertain son of [[Glasgow-1081|James Glasgow]], who was documented in Kilwaughter by the 1669 Hearth Money Roll and was active in the same Presbyterian congregation in 1700 and 1722.<ref name="timeline">[https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247/http://lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Kilwaughter/Timeline.html “Kilwaughter Timeline,”] ''lifesweaving.com'', archived 24 November 2010.</ref> James is a plausible father based on his earlier presence, compatible age and association with the same small community. However, no reviewed record explicitly identifies Robert as James's son, and the relationship remains unproved.
