    IMDB says that his father was born October 5, 1896 in Minnesota, as Gerald Oliver Vaughn. If that’s the case, then:

    Robert’s paternal grandfather was Zenas Newton Vaughn (the son of Albert G. Vaughn and Sarah A. Dobbins).

    Robert’s paternal grandmother was Anna Helen Bonfoy (the daughter of Samuel M. Bonfoy and Susan Dameris Duncan). Susan was the daughter of Samuel Duncan and Anna Sargeant.
