John Roblin, whose name appears often in the Adolphustown meeting record, lived in the third concession, near Hay Bay, where a number of the descendants still reside.

He was a Methodist local preacher, one of the first converts of the labors of the Rev. Darius Dunham. He was elected to the Upper Canada Parliament but was declared ineligible and the seat declared vacant because he was a lay preacher. He was elected again, but died before the next session was held. His descendants have been numerous and influential. John P. Roblin, who represented Prince Edward County for many years in Parliament, was a grandson; he was appointed Registrar of that county by the Baldwin government, and died holding the office. David Roblin, who represented Lennox and Addington for years, was also a grandson. Marshal Bidwell Roblin, who was Registrar of Lennox and Addington for years, was a son of David. Mr. R.P. Roblin, of Winnipeg, who has for years been a prominent member of the Manitoba Legislature and was leader of one of the political parties, is a descendant � son of James, of Sophiasburg. Owen Roblin, the founder of the Roblin Mills in Ameliasburg, and for fifty years post-master there, is a grandson � now over 90 years of age.

John Roblin first married a daughter of Wm. Moore, the first Methodist class leader.

William Moore was one of the pioneers, and is put down in the Government list as a "foreman or overseer of Works, Engineer's Department." He had lived in the third concession.

He was a carpenter, and is said to have finished the old Adolphustown Methodist Church and to have built the Methodist Church at Congers, near Picton; which is now the oldest of its kind in use in Ontario. It was built in 1809.

He was class leader of the first class organized in Adolphustown in 1791, and was referred to by the old members as a "Father in Israel." A daughter married John Roblin, so much noted among the early residents � the father of David Roblin, M.P., Rev. Philip Roblin, Mrs. George H. Detlor, of Napanee, and others. Wm. Moore does not appear to have had any sons, but there are numerous descendants through the daughter. He died at his farm, and was buried in the burying ground at the old Methodist Church on Hay Bay. He never appears to have taken much part in municipal or political affairs.
