Sheriff of Cork in 1674. Alderman, and Mayor of Cork, Ireland, 1680. Member of Parliament in 1695. (ffoliott, Rosemary. The Pooles of Mayfield, 1958).
Robert and Elizabeth had four sons total. Robert settled the family's Lota estate on his three younger (names not indicated), thus disinheriting Noblett. But the three younger sons failed to have survuving sons of their own, so the estate eventually reverted to the grandson of the disinherited Noblett (ffoliott, Rosemary. The Pooles of Mayfield, 1958).
