"It is certain that six years later he was married by a Quaker preacher in Rhode Island to
Mary (born July 23, 1637), daughter of Gen. James Cudworth, but this marriage being
pronounced unlawful he was remarried by a Puritan preacher, March 9, 1660. Robert
Whitcombe was the first to settle at "Beechwood" in the Beeches, the family place at
Scituate where several generations of Whitcombes have resided. He seems to have died
intestate and there is no record of his children except in the will of Gen. James
Cudworth, who left legacies to four grandchildren. Another child, Elizabeth, is named
elsewhere. Dates of the death of Robert and his wife are unknown at this writing (1903)."

"Records of the Cudworth Family"
W. John Calder; 1941; p. 23
"Mary Cudworth was born in Scituate, MA and baptized 23 July 1637. She should have been
named after her mother, and perhaps was, since the first boy James, was named after his
father. The naming of children in those extremely religious days approached a hallowed
tradition, in most pilgrim families. If the family was large enough, and it seldom was
under an average of six, the names of the father, and his father and mother, and the
mother, and her father and mother, had to be provided for, as a mark of filial respect.
Not the whole six, to be sure, but a name here and there with an uncle, or aunt to
complete the compliment. This Mary could have been named after Mary Machell, the mother of
James, who had reciently died in England."

"He evidently sympathised warmly with the suffering of the persecuted Quakers, like his
brother-in-law, Rodolphus Elmes, and like James Cudworth, whose daughter he was soon to
many. The Court records show that Robert and Mary (Cudworth) Wnitcomb were married by a
Quaker preacher in Rhode Island, and the marriage was deemed illegal by the Court and they
were ordered to be remarried by a Puritan minister, which was done 9 Mar. 1660. Officers
were appointed by the Court to apprehend the Quaker preacher, "Henry Hobson of Road Island
and to take securities for his appearance at the Court at Plymouth to answer for his
derision of authoritie in counterfeiting the solemnising of the marriage of Robert Whetcom
and Mary Cudworth"."
