Robert Fletcher was born in 1592 in Chelmsford, Essex, England. His parents may have been [http://www.geni.com/people/Anne-Fletcher/6000000001531375624 William FLETCHER] and [http://www.geni.com/people/Anne-Fletcher/6000000001531375624 Ann FINNEY,] but recent DNA puts this lineage in doubt and this Robert is probably not connected to the principal Fletcher family of Cockermouth Hall. (Actually, almost all linkages to gentry in my tree have turned out to be false. The vast majority of early immigrants were what we would call now middle class.)
He married Sarah HARTWELL '''(is this proven?)''' about 1612 in England. Robert died 3 Apr 1677 in Concord, Middlesex, Mass.
==family==
Parents unknown. Wife's name unknown, seen as Sarah.
Five children, all probably born in England:
# Grissell b. c1618; Married 1) Thomas Jewell 2) Humphrey Griggs 3) John Gurney
# Francis b. c1620; Married Elizabeth Wheeler
# William b. c1622; Married Lydia Bates
# Luke b. c1625; Married Betsey Shattuck
# Samuel b. 1632 married Margaret Hailston
==DNA testing==
As of Nov 2014: [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/fletcher/default.aspx?section=yresults R-M269]
Descendant test results do not match "any other Fletcher lineage" to date.
==biographical notes==
"The first of that name known to have come to this country was Robert Fletcher, who was born in Oxford, England, in 1592, as shown by the records of his death found in the Town Records of Concord, Mass. He settled in Concord, Mass., in 1630, being 38 years of age when he came to America. He brought with him his wife and two sons, named Luke and William, and a daughter named Carey, also a brother, William, who afterwards settled in Middletown, Conn.
Robert Fletcher was a wealthy and influential man. He died in Concord,Mass., April 3, 1677, aged 85 years. He had five children: Luke,William, Carey, Samuel and Francis."

From Geni member Virginia Wilber, Oct 2014:
The Robert Fletcher who came to Concord in 1634 is not a descendant of [http://www.geni.com/people/William-Fletcher/6000000001351769646?through=6000000000111917793 William Fletcher.] There was another Robert Fletcher who remained in England. I have been in contact with the manager of the Cockermouth Hall website as he is a descendant of the Robert who remained in England. I am enclosing a copy of the pertinent part of our email correspondence where he states the DNA results.
Dear all,
There are very many people tested for the DNA of descendants of Robert Fletcher of Concorde who all live in the USA, etc. The two principle people descended from Sir Henry Fletcher of Cockermouth who is also ancestor to the Robert Fletcher of Cumberland, are William Guy Fletcher (myself) and William LeRoy Fletcher of California. The test results proved that Robert Fletcher of Concorde is NOT the same person as Robert Fletcher of Cumberland.
Sincerely, W. Guy Fletcher
I would be happy to send anyone who wants it the entire email correspondence - including Guy's email address. I know this link is all over the internet and ancestry and LDS, but I am trying to correct this misconception as Robert Fletcher is an ancestor of mine, also. Truthfully, I'm sorry this link is not valid as I would, also, like to be descended from King Alfred.
