In 1836 Robert moved to Logan County,
Ohio, where in the same year he married
Eliza Jane Patterson. He was described
by his daughter Nancy (McConnell), as "a
very good man." He lost the sight of one
eye when a particle blew into it and
pierced the retina. He suffered from
"The milk sickness," which appears to
have been undulant fever.
