Both of your Robert Harbin's are the same. Robert was born in 1526, was a mercer by profession, lived in Yeovil and died there. He is buried in St. John the Baptist Church. His house, located at the edge of town and named Newton Surmaville, was completed in 1612. If you pull up Yeovil on the internet maps, you can drill down and see where it is located. It still stands and is occupied by a distant Harbin relative, Mrs. Sophia Rawlins. Robert was granted his coat of arms in May, 1612 and given the title "Gentleman". He was not knighted. Paul, we have Lewis B. Harbin in common as he was my GG Grandfather. His son, John P., was my GGrandfather. So we are cousins. I have visited Lewis' grave in Berry, AL, where several Harbins are buried. If you want more info, let me know.
