Not much is known about Robert's father, a Cromwellian soldier by the name of Lt. Col. Prime Iron Rochfort (see lot 548) whose untimely death resulted from execution at an early age. He challenged Major Turner to a duel at his home in Gaulstown and it was later found that the charge in Major Turner's pistol had been tampered with. As such, the Lt Colonel was found guilty of murder and executed. Before his execution, he was given the option of being 'shot like a soldier or hung like a common criminal' to which he chose the latter such that his issue would not be disinherited. He was given one last night of marital privacy during which Robert was conceived.
