         Robert Huddleston also had a brother, John, who traded as a gunmaker in Ballynahinch.

It is not certain if their father James was also in the trade but current research indicates that he was a farmer in County Down. The likelyhood is that both Robert & John were engaged within the Belfast guntrade where they would have learned their trades.
