Notes:
Roblin Mills was dismantled and reconstructed as part of the Black Creek Pioneer Village near Toronto, where it still grinds out flour. - built by Owen.
Another leading member of the family was Owen Roblin, a son of Philip. He was born in Sophiasburgh, and, after receiving his education under Jonathan Greely, removed to Ameliasburgh, where, in 1829, he took up four hundred acres in the third concession. This land is in part now held by W. J. McFaul and H. G. Staffordshire; and the latter lives on the old homestead. Owen Roblin conducted a general store and ashery, doing a large, and profitable business in sending the lye to Montreal. In 1838, or 1839, he traded lot 76 with John B. Way for lot 81, where the Ameliasburgh Roblin's Mills and homestead now stand. The village of Roblins Mills, or Ameliasburgh, as it is officially known, was first called Way's Mills, and was situated in the bend of the horseshoe below the hill on the present village stands.
On taking possession of the Way property, Owen Roblin commenced to improve the water-power; his first act was to excavate the present canal from the lake. The extent of this work may be estimated from the fact that the blasting powder alone cost the equivalent of one thousand dollars. Besides farming five hundred acres, and attending to his many trading schemes and flouring mills, this busy man ran saw and carding mills. From his flour mills he shipped immense quantise of wheat and rye flour to Montreal; and during the Crimean War he exported day and night.
Owen Roblin was a Justice of the Peace and Commissioner for taking affidavits; and for many years was a County Councillor and Reeve of his township. A post office was first opened in the village by a man called Meacham, who was Postmaster there for three years, when he was promoted to Belleville; and the Roblin's Mills' office was closed. It was reopened in 1845, with Owen Roblin as Postmaster, who held the post until his death, when he was said to be the oldest Postmaster in Canada. He was succeeded by his grandson, William H. C. Roblin, the present Postmaster. This grandson also closely followed Owen's son, Edward, as clerk of the Fourth Division Court, the interim holder of the post being William C. DeLong.
One of the best known and most progressive men in the county, Owen Roblin, lived to the old age of ninety-seven years, only dying as recently as 1903. He married Huldah Selden Conger, a daughter of old Squire Stephen Conger; she died in 1896, aged eighty-five years.
