(2nd generation in America)

Robert Webster, son of Governor John Webster, was born 17 November 1619 in England and came to America with his parents. He grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, and in 1652 married Susannah Treat (b. 8 October 1629), daughter of Richard and Alice (Gaylord) Treat. A brother of Susannah (Treat) Webster was the Honorable Robert Treat who was the eighth Governor of Connecticut.

Robert was given a commission in the militia and was sent out to wage war on the Indians. As a military title was not taken lightly in those days, and anyone holding one was looked upon with much respect, he was known as Lieutenant Robert Webster for the rest of his life. He also served in the General Court of Connecticut, as did his father. Robert was very active in government and in the church, owned several hundred acres of land, some of it in what is now the heart of the city of Hartford, and was considered a very wealthy man.

Lieutenant Robert Webster died 31 May 1676; Susannah died in 1705.

Wethersfield Village Cemetery and Ancient Burying Ground index has no record of Richard Treat / Alice Gaylard* buried here. I'm sorry there is no record of this person having been buried in the Wethersfield Village Cemetery. It's possible that they were buried in the Town Green or in a different town that was part of Wethersfield at the time. Glastonbury, Berlin, Newington and Rocky Hill were all once part of Wethersfield and have early 17th century cemeteries as well. You might want to look in those as well.
