On checking again this mystery of 'uncle' v 'cousin', the most likely Robinson to have had coal interests, and was in fact a 'coal proprietor' amongst many other 'irons in the fire', was in fact the one we have as Philip's (1744-1809), died 1809, Father!! John (1712-1784). The fact that John was a Coal Proprietor is in the same 1861 letter from Rev George Robinson as the comment about the 'cousins' who lived over the road!
There are three descendants of this Robinson family living down under in Oz, including yours truly, doing research, so have asked the other two what they think. Do we have the right Father or his he the Brother of the real Father of the Philip who died 1809? ChrisL.
