"Seeking to reestablish a monarch to the throne, the Scots fought English Parliamentarian forces under Oliver Cromwell. At the Battle of Dunbar, Scotland, 1650, the Scots were defeated and thousands of Scottish soldiers were taken as prisoners of war. Among them was Robert Dunbar, forced to march to Durham Cathedral in England arriving on 11 Sep 1650. On 11 November 1650, 150 of the survivors were deported from Gravesend (near London), England, on the ketch, Unity, to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, arriving in Charlestown (now incorporated into Boston) in late December 1650. There they were indentured into hard labor for approximately six to eight years. Most of the men survived their indenture period and bought land, married, and settled down to rear families."

According to The History of Hingham published in 1893, Robert and Rose were interred at the Liberty Plain Cemetery off of Main Street and near Scotland Street. Presently it seems uncertain if this is definitive but most likely they were interred in that general area.
