Robert Cromwell (c. 1560–1617) was an English politician who was the father of Oliver Cromwell. He represented Huntingdon in the English House of Commons.[1] He was a man of sober Puritanism. He married Elizabeth Steward around 1590.[2] They had 10 children, seven girls and three boys, but the only boy to survive infancy was Oliver Cromwell.[2] Upon the death of his father Henry Williams (alias Cromwell), Cromwell inherited a small estate in Huntingdon.
