It's logical to conclude from this memorial deed that Robert's son,

Richard, was born about 1714 because of the legal requirement that parties to such deeds be 21 years or older.

The father, Robert Parke, whose land deed with Robert Sandford was signed

on 10 March 1734 and which lists his three children -- Richard, Ellinor, and Hanah -- was probably born about 1692.
