• Notes

  Robert's military records indicate his brith as 11 June 1909, as given here. However, in 1910 Robert was residing with his parents as an infant son, where he is given as 16 months old. The census was taken in April 1910 making his real birth about DEC 1908 or JAN 1909, meaning his mother was pregnant when she married. The 1920 census gives his birth as MAY 1909. In 1920 he was residing in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, USA with his birth family. Robert is the only member of this family found in the 1930 census at which time he was an inmate in the Michigan State Prison. According to family records, Robert was imprisoned twice. The first time in 1930 for unknown reasons. The second time in the 1940s, he was the getaway driver in a robbery. He is alleged to have married an unknown actress briefly, who left him and ran away to New York. He was said to have had poor impulse control. He later lived with his sister Minnie. He had no known children.
