Notes:

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 could not sit in Parliament. 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.

Birth:
Some sources suggest 2 May 1774 however that puts him too close to his brother Owen's birth to be reasonable. Also only one son was over the age of 12 in 1783, that would have been John in this case/
