Robert Baynard (the testator) is a cousin to Benjamin Baynard and Edward Baynard and mentioned in the will of his cousin as Benjamin has two chests and a desk that belong to him. This Robert is not known to me and his will provides only the clue that his mother was Elinor but not his father's name. His mother was possibly Irish as he mentions property in Cork.
Since it trails away from the Blake family I decided that I would not pursue further information on this Robert.
