    The photo of John Palen Roblin came from the Janet and Richard Lunn book called The County, which is available online. It is actually a painting and it hangs in the Head Office of the Bank of Montreal at 119 rue St. Jacques in Old Montreal. It was presented to them by the Rev. S.H. Roblin, D.D., in June, 1946 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Bank of Montreal in Picton. John P. Roblin was the first known agent of the Bank of Montreal in Picton, a position of some importance I was told by a contact at the Bank of Montreal. Further details about the painting may be obtained by contacting BMO archivist Yolaine Touissante at 514 877-6810.

  • Notes 
    • A son, John P. Roblin, was for a number of years a prominent member of the old Reform party in the Upper Canada Legislature, sitting both before and after the Mackenzie Rebellion, sixteen years in all.

      ROBLIN, JOHN PHILIP, farmer, politician, and public servant; b. in Sophiasburgh Township, U.C., 16 Aug. 1799, son of Prudence Platt and Philip Roblin, loyalist, who came to Adolphustown Township from New Jersey in 1784 and who later settled on Long Reach in Sophiasburgh at a place which became known as Roblin Mills; d. at Picton, Ont., 12 Nov. 1874.

      John Philip Roblin was educated at the local school taught by Jonathan Greely. As a young man he cleared and farmed land in Ameliasburgh Township, but he moved to Hallowell Township in 1847 and in 1858 to the town of Picton. From an early age he took an active part in public life in Prince Edward County. He was appointed a justice of the peace in 1834. As a captain of the 2nd Battalion of Prince Edward militia he commanded a troop of cavalry during the winter of 1837 [9]
