He was called to the Bar, and practiced there, and held also the situation of Deputy Ranger of his Majesty's Woods and Forests in Upper Canada, under the deputation from Sir John Wentworth of Nova Scotia - an office of very trifling emolument." from page 5 of "Life of Sir John Beverly Robinson, Bart., Chief Justice of Upper Canada.

Sir John Beverly Robinson (1791-1863) - downloaded from Ontario Archives - https://archive.org/details/lifeofsirjohnbev00robiuoft. He "Christopher Robinson (1763 – November 2, 1798) was an American-born soldier, lawyer and political figure in Upper Canada.
Early life: He was born in Virginia in 1763, the son of Oxford-educated Peter Robinson (ca 1719–1768), and nephew of John Robinson, Speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses, and loyalist leader Beverly Robinson (ca 1722–1792). He was also a close relation of John Robinson (bishop of London) (1650–1723), a senior Anglican cleric and influential diplomat. Born in Virginia to one of the British colony's most influential families, it has been contended that he was educated at the College of William and Mary, although no evidence exists to support that fact. In fact, his early life remains shrouded in mystery and genealogical legerdemain. What is known is that at some point after his father's death in 1768, he moved to New York, likely to his cousin Beverley's household and was there at the beginning of the American Revolution. On June 26, 1781, he was commission an Ensign in the Queen's Rangers under John Graves Simcoe and served through the surrender of the British army at Yorktown, until 1783. Canada: He retired at half pay in New Brunswick, but moved to Quebec in search of employment. In 1792, Simcoe, now Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, offered him a post as a minor surveyor general and he moved to Kingston. In 1794, he received his license to practice law and, in 1796, he was elected to the 2nd Parliament of Upper Canada representing Ontario & Addington. In 1797, he played a role in establishing the Law Society of Upper Canada. He died suddenly at York (Toronto) in 1798. William Fairfield took his place in the legislative assembly in June 1799. Robinson in 1784 in New Brunswick married Esther Sayre, daughter of Rev. John Sayre, who came to the Colonies on behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. She died in 1827. His sons included: John Beverley, a lawyer, judge and political figure in Upper Canada; Peter, political figure in who played an important role in promoting immigration from Ireland to Upper Canada
William Benjamin, a political figure in Upper Canada and Canada West" per family tree of Robert Candy, May 14 2017. in 1792 at Upper Canada.2 He lived in 1792 at Kingston, Frontenac Co., Ontario; "In 1788 Christopher Robinson (then on half-pay of the Queen's Rangers) removed to Lower Canada, and in 1792 came to Upper Canada with his family, and lived at Kingston till 1798.

Early life: He was born in Virginia in 1763, the son of Oxford-educated Peter Robinson (ca 1719–1768), and nephew of John Robinson, Speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses, and loyalist leader Beverly Robinson (ca 1722–1792). He was also a close relation of John Robinson (bishop of London) (1650–1723), a senior Anglican cleric and influential diplomat. Born in Virginia to one of the British colony's most influential families, it has been contended that he was educated at the College of William and Mary, although no evidence exists to support that fact. In fact, his early life remains shrouded in mystery and genealogical legerdemain. What is known is that at some point after his father's death in 1768, he moved to New York, likely to his cousin Beverley's household and was there at the beginning of the American Revolution. On June 26, 1781, he was commission an Ensign in the Queen's Rangers under John Graves Simcoe and served through the surrender of the British army at Yorktown, until 1783. Canada: He retired at half pay in New Brunswick, but moved to Quebec in search of employment. In 1792, Simcoe, now Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, offered him a post as a minor surveyor general and he moved to Kingston. In 1794, he received his license to practice law and, in 1796, he was elected to the 2nd Parliament of Upper Canada representing Ontario & Addington. In 1797, he played a role in establishing the Law Society of Upper Canada. He died suddenly at York (Toronto) in 1798. William Fairfield took his place in the legislative assembly in June 1799. Robinson in 1784 in New Brunswick married Esther Sayre, daughter of Rev. John Sayre, who came to the Colonies on behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. She died in 1827. His sons included: John Beverley, a lawyer, judge and political figure in Upper Canada; Peter, political figure in who played an important role in promoting immigration from Ireland to Upper Canada
William Benjamin, a political figure in Upper Canada and Canada West" per family tree of Robert Candy, May 14 2017. in 1792 at Upper Canada.2 He lived in 1792 at Kingston, Frontenac Co., Ontario; "In 1788 Christopher Robinson (then on half-pay of the Queen's Rangers) removed to Lower Canada, and in 1792 came to Upper Canada with his family, and lived at Kingston till 1798.

Simcoe recommended him in 1791 to the Home secretary, Henry Dundas, for the positions of provincial secretary and clerk of the Executive Council of the newly established province of Upper Canada. Although Jarvis did not receive the clerkship, he was, however, rewarded with the more important, prestigious, and lucrative post of provincial secretary and registrar. In the summer of 1792 he arrived in Upper Canada as part of Lieutenant Governor Simcoe’s entourage.

His career was marked by the internecine bickering which characterized this group as its members struggled to consolidate their positions and to secure places for their children. Although Jarvis’s salary was £300, it was supplemented by fees. In 1794 he came into conflict with Attorney General John White* over the division of the lucrative fees on land patents. Jarvis drew up and registered all legal instruments and was responsible for the cost of parchment and wax. White, ever in search of additional income, claimed half of Jarvis’s fees on the grounds that the attorney general was responsible for the crown’s legal matters. He was successful, yet Jarvis still maintained the full burden of expense. Indeed he lost money on each grant processed thereafter and he petitioned in vain for relief until 1815 when he was granted £1,000. His financial problems were not, however, entirely the fault of White or an uncaring Executive Council. At times, changes in land regulations invalidated his work and often he himself was inefficient and careless. In 1800 Lieutenant Governor Peter Hunter discovered that many of the deeds issued by Jarvis contained irregularities such as erasures and corrections, or were drawn up on paper rather than parchment. Hunter censured him and provided strict instructions for the preparation of documents – instructions which by Jarvis’s estimate rendered useless £475 worth of deeds." from Dictionary of Canadian Biogrpahy, William Jarvis - http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/jarvis_william_5E.html?print=1.3 He "William Jarvis lived well, if not within his means, on his 100-acre park lot on the outskirts of York.
