findmypast.co.uk has the record of Robert Boyte baptised 10 Mar 1752 in Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset.
Father Benjamin, mother Eleanor. Transcription only.
Also Benjamin 17 Oct 1762; Eleanor 10 July 1757; Elizabeth 13 Oct 1765; John 3 Feb 1760;

Yes, the tree also has him as being born in Dorset. He probably got the ship from Scotland but was English :)
The tree also had this picture of a ship on it, wondering if it is of the one Robert went on which you might like to see:

Baptism of Benjamin Boyte Okeford Fitzpaine 15 April 1723. Father Benjamin, mother Elizabeth.
Marriage of Benjaimin Boyte and Elizabeth Duland 18 July 1718 Iwerne Courtney, Dorset - about 5 miles away as the crow flies. His parish is given as Okeford Fitzpaine. Her parish Turnworth - a couple of miles south of Okeford Fitzpaine.
-
Baptism for Benjamin Boyte, father of Benjamin Boyte (1723) ?
Benjamin Boyte
- 6th Jan 1696
-Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset
Parents Robert and Mary Boyte
-
Could be a brother of Benjamin's?
Daved (David?) Boyte
6th August 1675
Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset
parents: Robert and Mary Boyte
Quite an age difference between Benjamin and Daved/David so maybe not brothers...

Burial of Benjamin Boyte 13 Oct 1807 Okeford Fitzpaine.
Burial of Benjamin Boyte 5 Dec 1765 Okeford Fitzpaine.
There is a tree on familysearch.org, which takes this Boyte family back another generation to Robert Boyte and MAry Gatler, married 23 Aug 1695 at Okeford Fitzpaine. (follow the little 'man' icon from the burial of the 1807 burial).
They have not found a marriage for Benjamin and Eleanor - nor could I. And they have not followed your Robert's line, so no more information about him on this tree.
They have followed the line through the daughter Eleanor born 1757, who married a William Ridout in 1777 in Bristol.
Yes this tree shows Daved born 1675 as the brother of Benjamin born 1696 curtainhooks, but as you say, that's a lot of years between them.
The parish register may well be in a pretty bad state by this date of course, with pages missing, torn or unreadable, so it's very difficult to say.

No, the link does NOT work.

There's a document at Dorset archives which mentions Robert Boyte of Okeford Fitzpaine, dated 8 Feb 1697. It's a marriage settlement for his daughter Mary to a Henry Cooper.
Robert Fitzpaine is a given as a 'clothier'.

Always interesting to see what you ancestors' occupations were.

I have been researching this tree as part of my Boyt One Name Study. Benjamin Boyte born 1696 is the son of Robert Boyte and his second wife Mary Gatler. Robert's first wife was also a Mary but I have yet not found a marriage so do not know her surname. Robert had 4 children with his first wife, Robert born 1663, Benjamin 1669 - 1680, David born 1675 and Mary born 1672. Robert leaves a will which mentions his older children leaving them all 1 shilling and all of his estate to his younger son, Benjamin.
I have 3 wills for various members of this tree and am in the process of sorting who is who in this tree. The family are involved in the cloth trade and trading in London although they had property in Dorset.

I know all trees are not correct - but this tree has Benjamin Boyte born Lake Champlain,Illinois ,USA 1780
if it is correct , obviously Robert and Sarah at one time were in the USA ???
