Robert Breck was the son of Hugh Breck and Alice (MNU), baptized on 24 May 1563 in Prescot, Lancashire, England, where he spent his life.
Robert married Ann Hurst, 20 April 1591, also in Prescot, and they were parents of six children.
Children:
- Jane, baptized 2 February 1593/94, Prescot, Lancashire, England; buried 11 April 1603, Prescot, Lancashire, England
- Edward, baptized August 1596 at nearby All Saints Wigan; married (1) Mary (MNU) (2) Isabel (MNU) Rigby
- Margaret, baptized 17 April 1599, Prescot, Lancashire, England
- Child, baptized April 1601, Prescot, Lancashire, England
- Robert, baptized April 1602, Prescot, Lancashire, England
- Jane, baptized 29 June 1606, Prescot, Lancashire, England; buried 16 July 1607, Prescot, Lancashire, England
As these vital statistics show, life was difficult and many children didn’t survive childhood. Robert and Ann buried Jane, at 9 years of age, the child baptized in April 1601 likely didn’t survive and the second Jane was buried at the age of one year.
Robert was buried on 12 January 1643/44 in Prescot, Lancashire, England.
His son, Edward, became the immigrant ancestor to the Breck family in Massachusetts.
