Robert Cooper Lee Bevan, was the fifth child and eldest surviving son of the banker, David Bevan (1774–1846) and Favell Boruke Lee (1780–1841). He was named after his maternal grandfather, Robert Cooper Lee (1735–1794), a former Solicitor  General of Jamaica and London-based West Indies merchant, from whom several branches of the Hobkirk and Stone Family Tree descend.
