Thanks for your reply and the Satchfield archive links. Another bit of information which may be of interest, is that there is a place called Satchfield. This is what the links refer to. I can't immediately lay my hands on my notes, but from memory, there is a very small place called Bishops Clyst, west of Exeter and about 5 miles? from Withycombe Raleigh/ Budleigh, also known as Satchfield. (The area is now mostly Exeter Airport). Sir Walter Raleigh was born 1522 Hayes Barton, a farm 1 mile west of Budleigh Salterton. A gazeteer I have, says his parents, worshipped at East Budleigh Church. Although there is a time difference, there is a sort of connection as Roger Conant came from East Budleigh. There are also Satchfields in this area. So...a big guess, but it seems that the London Satchfields may have been related to the Devon Satchfields, otherwise how else would Sarah Horton have met Roger Conant? Also there is a Satchfield/ Horton Somerset connection , see document extracts as follows:
1577-1613
John Horton an infant of 18 years of age by John Sachfield his guardian v. John May and Henry long, concerning a mortgage debt on the manor of Bawdripp.
Henry Long and John May v. Sir John Horton, Sir Francis Popham, Jeremy Horton, John Sachfield and Robert Chambers, concerning money
Also, both the Mayor of Bath, John Satchfield, was a whitebaker, as was Gilbert. Could they have been cousins of some sort?
There is another marine Satchfield, which I forgot to mention, who died around 1621. In the will of William Satchfield of London, it mentions beneficiaries on the 'James Royal'. He mentions a beneficiary in Bucklersbury (London). He also left something to a Nicholas Morgan, residing in Combe Hay Somerset. Executor William Jackson of Combe Hay (Nearish to Bath.)
The derivation of the name Satchfield is supposed to be de Sequeville. The de Sequevilles were norman landowners in this part of the world (Devon), say from 1100 onwards, at a guess - including one who had something to do with the death of Thomas a Becket.
One of the most common english equivalents of de Sequeville is Sackville. The Sackville family/ ies have through history, usually been of high rank e.g. Sir etc. There is a slight possibilty that your Robert may be listed in records as Sackville or Satchville or Sackfield.
As you can see, I have a lot of 'bits' of information, which I haven't been able to put together to make a cohesive picture, however you may find something relevant to your search.
At some time in the future, I intend to visit the British Library, which looks after the East India Company Records and maybe the Maritime Museum. If I find anything of interest I will let you know.
