Good Evening, I am researching the Roblin families of Pembrokeshire.....or at least I am going to try. We have Roblins in both Canada and the US who first were found in Orange County, New York just before the American Revolution. They fought for the English and fled to Upper Canada about 1783. Recently we have found another record which shows the Roblin family was in the America's as early as 1722. Owen Roblin was a land-owner in Tredyffrin (Valleytown), Pennsylvania in 1722. He is listed in the records of St. David's church of Radnor, which is part of the early Welsh settlement known as the Welsh Tract. I am waiting for a search of materials for this area but presently know nothing more of this Owen. The names of the earliest Roblins we had before the PA Owen Roblin were Owen, Philip, John, Stephen, Edward....as well as Abraham, Lewis and Peter, though we do not know how the last three fit with the first five. We have also found abstracts of two will from Wales which have similar names and would particularly like to make contact with anyone who might know more about these families..... Will Henry Roblin, Llawhaden, 1690 Abstract FG Vol. 15, 368. Henry Roblin of the parish of Llawhaden, gent. Will dated 3 Feb 1689. Proved 6 Mar 1690 by the executors.

Dear Linda, There are quite a lot of records for Roblyns in this area of Pembrokeshire. Part of Llandissilio was in Carm. and part in Pemb...... so marriages could have taken place in both counties of which you seem to be aware. Here are some of those from the Pemb. records. A Phillip Roblyn in 1695 at Llawhaden married Catherine Morris. A Henry Roblin married Elizabeth Philip at Llandissilio in 1720...from the Bishop's Transcripts. A Henry Roblin married Mary Pricket at Wiston in 1729. I thought this may have been a misprint for Prichard....but no, the names of Pricket and Prickett are also in the records. In fact a Jane Roblin married George Prickard in 1700 at Llawhaden. That's only for starters.....oh, incidentally I also noticed a record under the spelling RHOBLYN so be aware that you have to look for this unusual spelling as well as those you've listed. Do you the St. David's Probate (Wills) index for the various names? Bettye Kirkwood, Australia. ----- Original Message ----- From: "L.
