Notes

We currently believe that Robert Pierre Jean has some relationship with the Pinawans family. Three children that appear to fit Robert's family use the Pinawans name in later records. Perhaps Robert Pinawans and Robert Pierre Jean are brothers. They both received grants of land at Durham in 1805, so they can not be the same person.
