• Notes

  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 [2, 4]
