Biography
John Roblin is/was a significant Ontarian .
John Roblin, the eldest son of the Pioneer’s family, was among the first converts under Darius Dunham’s labours in the province, and became a zealous worker for the Methodist church and a popular local preacher. He was elected to the 5th Parliament of Upper Canada for Lennox and Addington but was unseated in 1810 reputedly because he was a lay preacher but probably because he sided with the Reformers. His constituency re-elected him but his seat was again declared vacant. Returning home, he was elected for the third time; however, he died before the next session commenced.[1]
Burial: Hay Bay, Adolphustown Twp., Lennox & Addington Co., Ontario, Canada[2]
