He was admitted to the freedom of Bristol in 1646 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. In 1651 he was a Sheriff in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. Robert Lord Mayor from 1662 to 1675 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. Sir Robert had quite a difficult time during his administration as Lord Mayor, which one source shows as beginning in 1666 rather than 1662. According to English records as reported by Roger North in his "Life of Francis North, Baron of Guilford," "the Infamous Jeffries," Chief Justice of England moved into Bristol with the expressed purpose of "cleaning out the corporation" (the Mayor and Board of Alderman) and "humbling that proud body." After lashing and reviling the city magnates, he turned to their chief, sitting in his scarlet and furs of office, stormed upon him his choicest reproches, and given all the ill epithets he could, he ordered Sir Robert to quit the bench and go down to the criminal's post at the bar, and there plead. When the Mayor hesitated, Jeffries bawled at him, and called for the guards. All were amazed, but it did give Sir Robert the security of a trial at London. There he was acquitted. Jeffries said, "Go thy way, sin no more lest a worse thing come unto thee." He also characterized Sir Robert as a "stinking, whining, presbyterian that could be smelled forty miles off." However, he still kept his head on his shoulders. He knighted by Charles II in 1662. He raised to a baronetcy in 1662. He then became known as Sir Robert Cann of Crompton Green. Robert Representative to Parliament in 1678 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. He was described as "a morose old merchant". He died in 1685. Sir Robert Cann's second son John migrated to Delaware in 1675. Sir Robert sent financial Aid to son John in Delaware. Robert Cann & Co, was the name of a merchant of Bristol. Merchants were also interested in "privateering", which was a ship of private ownership commissioned by the Admiralty to prey on enemy shipping. There is evidence of the Canns being involved in this. Certainly, this added to the fortunes of the Cann family. Sir Robert was severly cristicized for going to jail to visit the Quakers and sectaries. Information on this individual is from multiple sources, some of which may now be considered questionable with newer information and research. Further research and confirmation is warranted.
