Early Days On the St. Croix - Robbinston is situated on the west bank of the St. Croix nearly opposite St. Andrews. With the assistance of Mr. Kilby, Dr. E.H. Vose and others, I will try to tell of the early settlement of Robbinston. The first settlement was made in 1786 by E.H. Robbins of Milton, Mass., subsequently the Lt. Governor and Speaker of the House of Representatives and owner of the principal part of Plantation No. 4. He early sent men from Massachusetts to build a house and store. Joseph PORTER of Milton, was sent to take charge of the business and remained about two years, when he moved to St. Stephen and became an English citizen, married Miss Betsy MARKS, was one of the first merchants of the place and was elected the first member to represent St. Stephen in the Legislature of N.B. (St. Croix Courier, March 19, 1896)
