John James Robinson

John James Robinson (January 1811 – 1874) was a naval officer and political figure in England and New Brunswick. He represented Charlotte County in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick from 1850 to 1854.

He was born in West Ham, Essex, the son of Captain J. Robinson, and educated in England. Robinson served in the Royal Navy from 1824 to 1845, retiring as captain. He also maintained a home at Surrey in England. In 1839, he married Cornelia, the daughter of William Fitz William Owen. Robinson was named to the Legislative Council of New Brunswick in 1856. He served as commissioner for lighthouse for the provinces. Robinson, now known as Robinson-Owen, also took over responsibility for administering Campobello Island during his father-in-law's later years and became owner of the island with his wife after Owen died in 1857. The island was sold in 1881. [ [http://www.lib.unb.ca/collections/loyalist/seeOne.php?id=644&string= Owen, William, Captain (1736 - 1778), Loyalist Collection at the University of New Brunswick] ]
