About John Roblin
- John Roblin (May 2, 1774 – February 28, 1813) was a farmer and political figure in Upper Canada. He was born in Smiths Clove, Orange County, New York in 1774.
- He was the son of Philip Roblin, a United Empire Loyalist, and Elizabeth Miller.
- After the American Revolution, his family settled in Adolphustown Township.
- He was elected to the 5th Parliament of Upper Canada for Lennox and Addington.
- He was unseated in 1810 because he was felt to be unfit to serve because he was a Methodist lay preacher.
- This may have been only an excuse, since he was a Reformer and so not acceptable to the Family Compact.
- His constituency re-electing him, his seat was again declared vacant by the same party and for the same reason.
- Returning home, he was elected for the third time; but he died before the next session commenced, and thus evaded that which threatened to become a serious cause of dissatisfaction, if not of disturbance. He died in Adolphustown in 1813.
- His son David and his nephew, John Philip Roblin later became members of the Legislative Assembly.
