Marriage*6 December 1740 He married Elizabeth Thatcher on 6 December 1740 at Brooklyn, Windham Co., Connecticut; "Careful search of CT records by an outstanding historian and genealogist has furnished no evidence as to the origin and parentage of either Robert or Elizabeth. There was no Vine family of whom he might have been the progeny. There were Thatcher families, but their Elizabeths are otherwise accounted for than by marriage to a Vine. There is a very slim chance that she might have been the daughter of John and Elizabeth Thatcher (unidentified), of Ashford CT, but this is most doubtful.
