1. Captain Robert Sherwin Archer Marker
Native of Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Captain Robert Sherwin Archer married Marguerita Luisa Glass of George Town, Exuma in 1958. That same year he became Justice of the Peace for Marsh Harbour. A continued interest in politics led to a seat in the Senate in 1964, and in 1968 Captain Archer became Representative for Abaco in the House of Assembly as a Member of the United Bahamian Party. His primary career as boat owner and sea captain brought him to many of the islands where his affable nature attracted many friends and acquaintances.
