Introduced Methodism into Prince Edward County

Philip Roblin moved from Adolphustown into Sophiasburg, where he located his land at Roblin's Mills, or Green Point, on the High Shore. In addition to clearing the forest, he managed to build and work a grist mill, which proved not only a success to the enterprising miller, but a boon to the settles for miles around, saving them their long and toilsum trips to Kingston, and later to Napanee. The founder of Roblins Mills, or Green Point, married Prudence Platt, by whom he had nine children; many of his descendants lived to be distinguished men and women of their county. 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. He was defeated only once, and that was in 1837, when the cry of Liberal disloyalty was raised; but at the next poll he was elected by a sweeping majority. Notwithstanding that the Premier, Mr. Draper, was a Conservative, he appointed John P. Roblin Registrar of Prince Edward County, a position he held up to the time of his death.

Philip Roblin owned the following lots in 1790 Con 4 Lot 24 Adolphustown - 50 Acres Con 4 Lot 25 Adolphustown - 50 Acres Con 1 (West of Carrying PL) Lot 2 Sophiasburg - 200 Acres Con 1 (West of Carrying PL) Lot 34 Sophiasburg - 150 Acres

Philip was born in Smith's Clove but moved with his parents to Adolphustown, via Sorel during the fall/winter/spring of 1783 and 1784. There is a record of him marrying Prudence Platt in 1792 in Sophiasburg Township. He appears to have applied for, and been granted, 200 acres of land as the son of a UE Loyalist. Finalized by order-in-council on July 31 of 1797, this parcel was southwest of Green Point on Long Reach. It was rectangular in shape with waterfront and stretched back past the current highway 49 just north of the junction with highway 35. The lakefront view is spectacular.

There was a stream on the property, fed by a lake since drained, which was just west of the junction of highways 35 and 49. This stream, which fell about 100 feet from the lake to Long Reach, was used to provide power for a grist mill, lumber mill, and shingle mill (according to the residents of the land in July 2001). This area became known as Roblin's Mills (often described relative to Green Point to distinguish it from the Roblin's Mills that that became Ameliasburgh town) and had a store, barn, large wharf for loading products of the mills into ships, and at least two houses (Philip and Prudence as well as their son Caleb.). In July 2001, the barn was in use as a garage/workshop (although moved perhaps 100 m from its original site) and the store was a part of a house. The stone foundations of the mills, as well as the raceways for the stream, were also clearly visible. The area can be accessed by driving down Roblin's Mills Road, at the junction of highways 49 and 35, and
