The third son, Charles, and the sixth, Wilbur Fisk, both died in infancy. The four surviving brothers in order of age were George Washington William, Robert Miller, Adam Clark, and Obadiah. The family moved to Lockport, Illinois in 1839 where the father died on October 2, of that year. They very soon returned to New York where the mother later married James T. Crouch. At the age of eleven, Robert was bound out to a farmer where he lived and worked until he was twenty-one. These were difficult years of hard work, being bound to a person greatly lacking in human sympathy and reason. In 1855, riding the horse which was his only remuneration for his ten years of hard work, Robert travelled to Iowa. He spent two years there in the employ of farmers. It was during this period that he heard of Kansas, and the desire to see and know this new Territory brought him here (Humboldt, Kansas) where he homesteaded one of the best tracts of land in Allen County. The first events of the Civil War found Robert busy with his new farm. When the country called, he was not too busy to help put down rebellion against the flag. The second call for troops brought him to the proper officer to offer his services, and his life, if need be, that we might be preserved a nation and not a league of states. He joined Company G, Ninth Kansas, and was in the field three years and four months. His regiment's marches through Arkansas and Missouri and the battles and skirmishes incident thereto furnished many of the exciting reminiscences of Robert's life. When the war ended, he returned home and was married the same year to Mrs. Caroline Butterfield. Three children were the result of this union: Julia Ellen, Charles Wilbur, and Robert, who died in infancy. In 1872, Robert lost his wife by death and in 1874, he was married to Mrs. Francis Parker, a daughter of John Wooden of Iola, Kansas. There were four children of this marriage: Robert Lee, Josephine Mary, George Clayton, and Clark L., who died in infancy. In June 1892, Robert lost his second wife (Source: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=garnan&id=I47)
