He left a wife and six children upon his death.
The following excerpts are from Nelson Burr's, "The Anglican Church in New Jersey":
"Robert Weyman was one of many young Welshmen who heard the call to minister in the colonies. He was the son of William Weyman of Pembrokeshire. At the age of nineteen, March 3, 1713-14, he matriculated Jesus College, Oxford University, England."
"In 1719, shortly after graduation, he applied to the Society for a mission....The Society was established in 1701 for the propagation of the Gospel to foreign parts. The Society sent missionaries to the Colonies to start churches. The money was provided by the 'K.B.,' Kings Bounty, a gift bestowed for the augmentation of the maintenance of the poor clergy sent to the Colonies."
"He was then a bachelor of twenty-four, and described as good-tempered, prudent, learned and pious in conversation and diligent in his ministry..."
"Because he could preach fluently in Welsh, Weyman was the right man for the Welsh communities in the Schuylkill Valley west of Philadelphia, and was appointed as missionary to that region."
"From October 1, 1719 until 1728 he ministered in Pennsylvania; Oxford (his home), Radnor, Frankford, Bristol, Whitemarsh, Perkiomen, Great Valley, Conestroga, and Caenarovon or Bangor Church. For a short time in 1722-24, he served Spesutia Church in Saint George's Parish, Hartford County, Maryland."
"In 1723, he was slated to go to Saint Andrew's Parish, Staten Island, N.Y. but William Harrison secured the parish. Weyman remained where he was, except for a voyage to England in 1728-9 because his aged parents wanted to see him before they died. He then asked the Society for a raise, in behalf of his large family and because of his extensive services outside Oxford and Radnor. The Society thought it would be better to give him a richer parish and therefore transferred him to Burlington and Bristol where he served St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Burlington, New Jersey, from 1730 until his death on November 28, 1737, age 43."
"On the day before his death he wrote to the Society, praying for the blessing of God upon its members. Edward Vaughan, who watched at his death-bed, testified of his worth as a minister."
