Genealogical Guide to the Early Settlers of America (p.381)

Naney, or Nanny: - Robert, Boston; sent by Robert Cordele, a goldsmith of Lombard St., London, in the Increase, 1635, aged 22; was first at Dover, perhaps, or Saco; had good character before coming, in 1652, to Boston. By wife Catherine, daughter of Rev. John Wheelwright, had John, 1654, died soon; John again, 1656; Joseph, 1658; James, 1659; Mary, 1661; Elizabeth, 1663; and he died same year; his will, made five days before, names wife and children only Samuel, who was born before his father came from the E., and only Mary, and one anticip.; so probably the others died early. He was a merchant, owned estate in Barbadoes, perhaps in company with Richard Hutchinson of London, whom he calls uncle; by inventory, show L1089, 14. 1 1/4. His widow married Edward Naylor.
