| Notes |
- Robert was born almost totally blind. When he was still very young a stranger drove up one day and asked to stay the night. The stranger remained at Double Bayou for the next three years. He never gave his name, though it was clear he was English. He taught the children school and taught Robert to play the violin, which became his life long pleasure:
"Never a day passed without the lively strains of Uncle Bob's violin drifting through the house. Uncle Bob had a lovable, uncomplaining disposition, and he was devoted to all the children in the family. He garnered his reward through the loyal devotion lavished on him by each and every child in the family"
- Home on the Double Bayou, by Ralph Semmes Jackson
He never married and had no children.
