He had property at Payerne 1521-1522. Name is given in the published de Treytorrens genealogy as Roberti, but this is from Latin documents, and as there do not seem to be other "Roberti" at Morges, we are inclined to regard him as a member of the Robert family of Féchy etc. However, we are also inclined to regard the whole lineage of the "Roberti" family connected to the de Treytorrens genealogy with skepticism, because other documents say it was Pierre Reynaulti, not Roberti, who was the father-in-law of Antoine Mottet or Moctet.
In any case, Pierre Robert, notary of Payerne, was definitely the father of Jean Robert, one of the monks of the Abbey of Payerne at the time of its dissolution in 1536, later a resident of Fribourg.
The second item in the surviving register of the notary Pierre Gachet of Payerne (ACV Dp 43, fol. 1), dated 24 feb 1504, though bady stained and partly illegible, concerns a dispute about the succession of Petrus Roberti. The brothers Johannes and Georgius de Rippa, guardians of Claudia and Stephanus, children of the said Petrus Roberti by his late first wife Margareta, argue that some property of the estate came from Marguereta, while Petrus de Espagniaco, representing (or possibly the present husband of) the widow, Janna, the second wife of the deceased Petrus Roberti, argues that the property came from the second marriage. There was presumably a connection between the de Rippa brothers and the first wife, Marguereta, but if it was stated, the reference is now obscured by the condition of the paper. In any event, the document provides evidence for two wives of Petrus Roberti, but does not tell us which one was the mother of the monk Johannes Roberti.
Appears as witness at baptism of Pierre Moret, 19 jan 1673, in Lausanne. In the late 1630's, he seems to have lived at Féchy, as mentioned in a document of H. Galliard, notary in that area. It appears he is the same person as the Jean Jaques Robert or Jaques Robert recorded in the church and notarial records of Morges, though more investigation is needed on this point. The church records of Morges are incomplete and sloppy in this era, and the names of the wives seldom appear. His parentage is given in land records, such as a terrier of Aubonne (ACV Fh 179, fol. 25v), 08 may 1658.

The baptismal date comes from the family record. However, in the parish register, it is given as 06 jun 1689, entered out of sequence by Gédéon Mayor. That entry shows witness "Madame Raga (?), sa tante."

By 1880, the Robertsons had left McLean Co., IL, and were living in DeWitt Co., IL (ED 76, p. 27, Soundex card virtually illegible). In the same household is a child identified as "Hardala M.", age 1, granddaughter. It is not clear if the surname is intended as Hardala, or if this is a given name.
