General Notes: Husband - Owen ROBLIN
Owen Roblin married Margaret Ruttan, and had a large farm on the third concession of Adolphustown, where he lived for many years and died at an advanced age. To distinguish him from the many other prominent men of his own name, now a familiar one throughout the county, he was called the "one-eyed" Roblin, owing to the fact that at an early age he suffered the misfortune of losing the sight of one eye. His descendants are numerous and are recognized as many of the leading business men and farmers in the county.
[Nugent.ftw]
He cam to Canada with his father in the Vanalstine Party to Canada. He lived and died in Adolphustown/> His will was dated March 23, 1852. He was known as "one eyed Owen" from an accident when a child stuck a stick in his eye.
Owen and Mary lived on Lot 24 , Con 3 in Adolphustown. They are found there in 1794 with one male and one female both over 16 years of age. In 1851 Owen P. 85 and Mary 76, are living in Adolphustown with their son Stephen Roblin and his family 5,8
General Notes: Wife - Margaret / Mary Elizabeth RUTTAN
61. William RUTAN Lieutenant was born on 2 Apr 1759 in Schraalenburgh, Bergen, New Jersey. Christened on 24 Jun 1759 in Schraalenburgh, Bergen, New Jersey. Died on 9 Oct 1843 in Adolphustown, Lennox & Addington, Ontario. Buried on 11 Oct 1843 in St. Albans, Adolphustown, Lennox & Addington, Ontario. NAME: "Retan" according to IGI.
MILITARY SERVICE: "...though only 17 at the outbreak of the revolution, was commissioned Lieutenant of the Associated Loyalists. His older brother was Captain Peter Ruttan, who had commanded a regiment during the revolution and who was second in command of Major Van Alstine's party ofloyalists that landed at Adolphustown in March, 1784. William and his wife, Margaret, were of that party." (Stuart Adams letter, July 21, 1991).
CHILDREN: "There first child, an infant, died on the trip from Montreal to Adolphustown." (Stuart Adams letter, July 21, 1991).
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: "William also settled in Adolphustown, married and Irish girl, Margaret Steele, who had crossed the ocean with her parents. In the hungry years of 1788 in order to get some food William, who had some money saved from the sale of his commission, sent two men to lbany during the winter months for four bushels of Indian corn which they carried on their backs through forests without roads. As the Ruttans possessed a cow, her milk, plus the precious corn, with roots and berries from the woods, provided enough nourishment to keep eight persons alive until the following harvest." (Reaman, 1964 p.219).
RESIDENCE: "William took his two hundred acres immediately east of the Adolphustown village site and Peter took his on a point of land northwest of the village." (Stuart, 1991 p?).
BIOGRAPHY: "Anyway, William Ruttan (Peter William and Henry 's father) seems to have been a properous man, too, more prosperous than his older brother, Captain Peter. William and Peter and Peter William's wife's mother Elizabeth Roblin, were amongst the twenty-two who paid for the building of Upper Canada's first Episcopal Methodist Church, in 1792, at Hay Bay, near Adolphustown. (Adams, 1991 p.5).
RELIGION: "William, however, joined St. Alban's Anglican Church, Adolphustown, when it was built in 1822 and is buried in St. Alban's cemetery. He may, in fact, have played a part in building the Anglican church and perhaps even donated the building site, since the church seems to be about where William's land would have been. His converting to more respectable and establishment Anglicanism was, and remains, a typical thing for a prospering Canadian to do but I like to think that his conversion had something to do with the Methodist preacher's having talked him into burning his beloved violin, telling him it was the Devil's instrument. Perhaps it was his wife, Fanny, and her mother, the redoubtable Elizabeth Roblin, who had roped him into Methodism and he later counter-rebelled, preferring music now to heaven later." (Adams, 1991 p.5).
DEATH: "Ruttan, William, a descendant of a family of Huguenots from Rochelle, France, who sought refuge in England and america, died in Adolphustown, the 9th inst., in his 85th year" ("The Christian Guardian" newspaper death notice of October 25, 1843, p.3, cited in "Death Notices from the Christian Guardian 1836-1850 by Rev. Donald A. McKenzie, published by Hunterdon House on Lambertville, N.J., in 1982, page 271).
CEMETERY: St. Albans Anglican Church Cemetery, Adolphustown, #33. Inscription reads died Oct 1843, aged 84 years.
He married Margaret STEEL on 10 Jun 1782 in New York. Margaret STEEL was born in 1764 in Ireland. Died on 1 Feb 1844 in Adolphustown, Lennox & Addington, Ontario. Buried on 5 Feb 1844 in St. Albans, Adolphustown, Lennox & Addington, Ontario.
DEATH: "Ruttan, Mrs Margaret, wife of Wm. Ruttan, died in Adolphustown, the 1st inst., in her 80th year. feb. 21, 1844 p.71. D.N." (cited in D.A. McKenzie's "Death Notices from the Christian Guardian 1836 - 1850" p.271).
DEATH: H. N. Ruttan records "Margaret died on February 1 and was interred beside William (in the Cemetery of St. Paul's Church [Church of England]) on February 5, 1844." "Ruttan, Mrs. Margaret, wife of Wm. Ruttan, died in Adolphustown, the 1st inst., in her 80th year." ("The Christian Guardian" Newspaper death notice, February 21, 1844, p.71, cited in "Death Notices from The Christian Guardian 1836-1850 by Rev. Donald A. McKenzie, Hunterdon House: Lambertville, N.J., 1982).

Settled in Sophiasburgh
Unable to find Children in Census without knowing their DOB because name is too common in the area
John Wesley Roblin (Owen2,Owen1) son of Owen Roblin Jr. and Mary Elizabeth Ruttan was born about 1803 in Adolphustown. John married Deborah Rightmyer February 21, 1827. Deborah was born about 1805, daughter of Peter/Petrus Rightmyer and Phebe Allison.
John and Deborah settled in Sophiasburg.
It appears that both John and Deborah died before 1861 or possibly even 1851. There have been no stones or location of burial found. They are not found in the 1861 Sophiasburg Census and there is no surviving 1851 Sophiasburg Census. In 1851 Rachel, age 22, is living with Isaac Reynolds and wife Sarah (these could be the parents of Rachel Reynolds, wife of cousin, Joseph Roblin b.c. 1829) . In 1861 Catharine, age14, and John, age19, are living with their sister Catharine and husband Benjamin VanBlaricom in Sophiasburg. In addition, Mary Jane was apparently raised by Sarah Hoover wife of Royal Hicks, who had no children of their own.
