David Roblin

David Roblin (April 19, 1812–March 1, 1863) was a lumber merchant and political figure in Canada West.

He was born in Adolphustown Township in Upper Canada in 1812, the son of John Roblin.

He served as reeve for the township from 1841 to 1857 and warden for the united counties of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington from 1849 to 1857.

Although he was a Reformer, he helped prop up the Liberal-Conservative coalition during his time in office.

Roblin was defeated in the next general election by Augustus Hooper and, having suffered financially from a collapse of the timber market in 1857, retired from politics.
