Thomas Preble of Maryland

I am descendant of Robert Hawkins and Ann Preble and have been working on Hawkins family history for over 30 years.I have asked the following question many people and always receive the same reply.I copies it from someone else.Question "what documentation do you have to prove that Robert Hawkins was born 3 September 1691 in Streatley England?
I assume that he was born between 1684 and probably 1691, but where?No proof!!!
I have a bible page that ways our gggrandfather John Hawkins was born 22 March 1640 in London England.This also is written in a history written by an ancestor in early 1800. The bible page states this date of birth according to Little's History.
Since I have my Hawkins genealogy from Robert and Ann to myself, and early documentation lists John as the father of Robert Hawkins, I need more proof to accept the date of 3 Sep 1691 and that Robert was born in Streatley England. I have traced this family through land records and have a copy of the will of Robert Hawkins.
I do not know where the spelling Pribble came from.In the St George's Parish Register, it looks like Troblo.The P looks like a T and the e looke like an o.When I was there I had pages on Hawkins photostated
