1703-1707 - In March, 1703, Robert was commissioned Deputy Governor of North Carolina and President of Council by Governor Sir Nathaniel Johnson. He was charged with establishing the Church of England in the area. The Quakers, who were numerous in this area, refused to take the new oath prescribed by Parliment and were dismissed from the Council, Assembly, and Courts of Justice. Robert was not very popular with the Quaker community for these reasons. Robert continued in his efforts to establish the Church of England in the area through at least Dec. 11, 1717, when he issuedI an order to build St. Andrews Church on the Afhley River in Berkley County (signed Robert Daniell, Gov.).

During his term as Governor of North Carolina, Robert received many grants along the Pamlico River, a part of which was 270 acres at what is now Bath, North Carolina. His ship ?The Martha? was birthed there while serving as Governor. He built a plantation at Archbell Point at the fork of Broad Creek on the north side of the river.
May 1, 1718 - Robert died in Charleston where his will was written and filed. He was originally buried on plantation at Daniell?s Island. The family later moved his body to St. Philips Church, Charleston. The church burned and when it was rebuilt, part of the building now covers the grave. The original vault cover is mounted in the front wall of the church. A memorial marker was placed in the rear wall of the church by the Colonial Dames in 1908 which replicates much of the original cover and states that also in the vault were buried Martha Logan (2nd wife), Colonel George Logan (2nd husband of Martha), and their son George Logan.
Robert?s will references several other tracts of land in Charles Towne and Beufort Towne.
While the above land grants total an excess of 178,500 acres many were sold and other acreage acquired during Robert?s lifetime.
