That same year, he petitioned for (and received) a land grant of 1000 acres from the Crown (government), in addition to the 200 acres he was previously granted. The land was in York (the historic former name of Toronto) and is now part of downtown Toronto. In 1817, D'Arcy built a home for his family on this 1200 acre estate; it was a Georgian manor known as 'The Grange'. He and Sarah had 8 children who were all born there, and later it became the home of their son William Henry (an Alderman and mayor of Toronto). Later still, it was donated to become the first Art Museum of Ontario which operated there between 1913-1918, and today it's part of the Art Gallery of Ontario (at 317 Dundas St West). The Grange is located in Grange Park which is immediately behind the Gallery; the house is at the north end, facing south into the park. It's the 12th oldest building in Toronto still standing. The park can be accessed from either side street of the Gallery (Beverley St or McCaul St). (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/266113370/d'arcy_edward-boulton)⁴

• Residence: 1812; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "The oldest section of Beverly House was built around the War of 1812 by D’arcy Boulton, eldest son of Judge Boulton. At this time Beverley House was a small brick cottage, standing the only building on the square until 1820. D’arcy Boulton lived here until 1816 when he moved to a large frame dwelling on the west side of Frederick Street, opposite from the old post office. In 1813, when York was attacked by American forces inthe Battle of York, Prideaux Selby, Receiver-General of the Province, was living at Beverley House, and at the time of the invasion, on his death bed. Upper Canada’s provincial funds were in his care and to save them from falling into the hands of the Americans a clerk of the Receiver-General was dressed up as an old woman and driven from the cottage with three bags of gold and a large sum of army bills. The treasure was buried east of the Don bridge and the army bills were given to the invaders. After the departure of the Americans the gold was returned to the authorities in the parlour of Rev. Dr. John Strachan. After Boulton gave up the property it was acquired by Chief Justice John Beverley Robinson who profoundly transformed the estate. He added a wing to the west end of the property, raised the whole building, built a veranda, and constructed stables at the north west corner of the property. These alterations and additions transformed the modest brick cottage into the new Beverley House." from History of Beverly House, Chapter 5 of Robertson's Landmarks of Toronto revisted, http://www.landmarksoftoronto.com/history-of-beverley-house/
• Residence: 1817; The Grange, York, York Co., Upper Canada; "The Grange; The Grange was built about 1817 for D'Arcy Boulton Jr. At one time the town of York (now Toronto) was surrounded by residential estates belonging to prominent citizens and The Grange is one of the few to survive. Its symmetrical five-bay facade and central pediment reflect the conservative influence of the British classical tradition of the 18th century. The west wing represents two later additions. Given to the Art Museum of Toronto in 1911, The Grange is now owned by the Art Galler yof Ontario and is restored to the 1835-1840 period."

• Note: 1793; London, England; "Law, however, took a back seat to a business career and Boulton became a partner in the Woollen Yarn Company. The enterprise encountered difficulties and in 1793 the partners declared bankruptcy. Boulton was unabashed and wrote to his wife: “Set not your mind on riches lest you should be deceived. They have wings to fly away. . . . We can, thank God, be as happy with the
  necessaries of life as many discontented persons cannot be with all the possessions of their imaginations.” Bankruptcy proceedings lasted several years and in the end Bolton’s financial problems may have had a bearing on his decision to emigrate." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Residence: May 1797; New York, U.S.A.; "Boulton with his wife and two sons arrived in the United States about 1797 and seems to have settled in New York’s Hudson River valley. The exact nature of Boulton’s activity is not certain: one story has him starting up a school in Schenectady, another has him an assistant oarsman on a lumber raft operating on Lake Champlain." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Note: 1802; Upper Canada; "If Upper Canada offered Boulton a more congenial social and political climate, there were other, more tangible, advantages as well. In 1802 his petition for a land grant was approved and he received 200 acres for himself and an additional 200 acres for each of his children, then five in number." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Note: 1802; Upper Canada; "Several years later, he recounted his sentiments at this change of scene in Sketch of his majesty’s province of Upper Canada: “English people, untainted by political speculations, are naturally attached to their own constitution. I confess, for my own part, that when I first . . . set my foot on British ground, after residing in the American states, I perceived sensations that were unexpected even to myself. I seemed at once to step home. I need not describe my feelings on this occasion; a true Englishman can well imagine them, and with respect to those that are not so, I am perfectly indifferent.” per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵

  1803; later critics labelled them “heaven-descended." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Residence: November 1804; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "The second son of Henry Boulton (1732–1788) J.P., of Moulton, Lincolnshire, by his third wife, Mary (1734–1779), the daughter of D'Arcy Preston of Askham Bryan Hall, Yorkshire. He studied law at the Middle Temple. After his business in England failed in 1793, he came to the Hudson River valley of New York in 1797.
  Boulton later moved to Augusta Township in Upper Canada around 1802. In 1803, he was admitted to the bar. In 1804, he assumed the position of Solicitor General after the death of Robert Isaac Dey Gray on the HMS Speedy; he was also elected to Gray's former seat in the 4th Parliament of Upper Canada in a by-election. In 1807, he became a judge for the Court of King's Bench." per Wikipeida - D'Arcy Boulton
• Note: February 1805; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "Not long afterwards Boulton began his upward climb on the ladder of official preferment. The initial rung was provided him by the death of Solicitor General Robert Isaac Dey Gray* in the wreck of the Speedy early in
  October 1804. The following February Boulton assumed Gray’s position. Boulton also succeeded Gray in a by-election as the member for the riding of Stormont and Russell.

• Note: July 1807; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "His next opportunity resulted from the suspension of judge Robert Thorpe by Lieutenant Governor Francis Gore in July 1807. In Thorpe’s stead Boulton carried out the business of the Court of King’s Bench on circuit." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Note: 1808; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "He did, however, suffer a setback when he was defeated in the general election of 1808 by John Brownell. A sympathetic commentator remarked: “I really could not have believed there was so much ingratitude in the human frame as his former clients have manifested towards him.” Boulton may have suffered by association with an administration unpopular for its slow handling of land claims; he also may have had disgruntled legal customers.

• Note: July 1810; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "Boulton, in fact, had his own problems in government circles. Gore had grown disenchanted with the legal acumen of both Boulton and Attorney General William Firth* – who differed in their legal opinions – and had begun instead to place his faith in the counsel of William Dummer Powell, an associate judge of King’s Bench. When, in the late summer of 1810, it appeared that Boulton had decided to seek the vacant judgeship (Thorpe had received another posting), Gore and Powell worked in tandem to bar his appointment." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Note: 22 December 1810; Verdun, France; "The matter, however, became academic after the frigate on which Boulton was bound for England to press for the appointment was captured on 22 Dec. 1810 by a French privateer. Boulton fought vigorously in
  the short-lived attempt to defend the ship; for his troubles he received a sabre slash across his forehead. He was detained for more than two years at Verdun, France, during which time he wrote letters to authorities in London in an attempt to secure his release. He also acted as the lawyer for the community of British prisoners. In this regard he exasperated his son Henry John Boulton* who declared, “My father’s letters are always about business for he has numberless ‘poor devils’ to assist as clients.” per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Residence: August 1813; London, England; "By the spring of 1813 Boulton had obtained his parole and crossed the Channel. He had, however, to put aside his hopes for a judgeship since the post had been filled in 1811 by the appointment of William Campbell. None the less, in August 1813 he obtained a leave of absence from his duties in Upper Canada as solicitor general to transact business “regarding my family affairs of the first importance to myself and my children.”⁵
• Residence: May 1814; London, England; "He was admitted to the English bar in May 1814, his lack of this credential having been cited by Gore and Powell in their campaign to keep him off the bench." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Note*: December 1814; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "In 1810, while sailing to England, he was taken prisoner by a French privateer. Boulton fought vigorously in the short-lived attempt to defend the ship and for his troubles he received a sabre slash across his forehead; he was kept at Verdun and released in 1813. He was admitted to the English bar in the same year and secured the post of Attorney-General of Upper Canada in December 1814. Boulton and his family were considered to be part of the Family Compact, a clique of Upper Canada's elite who held great power in the province." per Wikipedia³
• Residence: 31 December 1814; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "That June, Firth, who had been dismissed as attorney general in 1812, advised William Warren Baldwin* that Boulton was lobbying for the vacant attorney generalship. In this endeavour Boulton proved successful, although his wish that Henry John succeed him as solicitor general was frustrated by the ascending star of John Beverley Robinson. Boulton was appointed attorney general on 31 Dec. 1814; Robinson became solicitor general less than two months later." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Note: 12 February 1818; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "Robinson, the brother-in-law of D’Arcy Boulton’s eldest son and namesake, proved pivotal in a further reshuffling of places in the colonial administration which occurred three years later and which stemmed from a desire on the part of Gore and Powell to have a vigorous, young attorney general, namely Robinson. A chain reaction had been set in motion by Chief Justice Thomas Scott's retirement in 1816. He was replaced by Powell and the resulting vacancy on the bench was filled by Boulton, who was appointed on 12 Feb. 1818 and replaced as attorney general by Robinson. What ought to have been a fairly straightforward procedure was complicated by Boulton’s attempt to make appointment conditional upon Henry John’s
  succeeding Robinson as solicitor general. The ploy, however, did not work. Henry John was
  named acting solicitor general in 1818, but his commission as solicitor general, although
  backdated to 2 December of that year, was not issued until 1 March 1820." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Note: 1827; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "By the mid 1820s the rigours of riding circuit had begun to impose too heavy a strain on Boulton; moreover, he had started to become deaf. In 1827, several months after his retirement, his wife died, and Boulton was expected to follow her shortly. Instead, he lived another seven years, dying one day after his 75th birthday at the Grange, the home of his son D’Arcy." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Note: 1833; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "When in 1833 William Lyon Mackenzie* drew up his list of the “family compact,” he began with the name D’Arcy Boulton. Next followed Boulton’s four sons, like their father office holders all, then one son’s brother-in-law, and finally the brother-in-law’s brothers. By underscoring family connections and the monopoly of offices, Mackenzie imparted a literal aspect to the political label he helped popularize. That position in this catalogue of names did not correlate with actual political influence did not matter: a connection had been suggested in a formidable manner. Boulton’s place – at the top – seems, at the very least, symbolically apt. In the early
  history of the province he was surely one of its quintessential placemen." per Dictionary of Canadian Biography - D'Arcy Boulton. www.biographi.ca/en/bio/boulton_d_arcy_1759_1834_6E.html⁵
• Note: 1834; York, York Co., Upper Canada; "His tenure on the Court of King’s Bench coincided with Lieutenant Governor Sir Peregrine Maitland*’s administration, a period of conservative reaction. Boulton could be said to have expressed the spirit of his time and place, and hence was useful to reformers such as Mackenzie as a symbol of the province’s grievances. “How is Justice Boulton’s speeches and addresses like
  saying Mass?” queried Mackenzie. “Because nine-tenths of the audience don’t understand their meaning.” Henry Scadding* provides a more personal description, presenting Boulton as “an English gentleman of spare Wellington physique; like many of his descendants, a lover of horses and a spirited rider; a man of wit, too, and humour, fond of listening to and narrating anecdotes of the ben trovato class.”

• Note: before 21 May 1834; St. Patrick's Market, Queen St., Toronto, York Co., Upper Canada; "Boulton bequeathed property at what is now Queen Street West and McCaul Street for the creation of a public market in perpetuity. The property, which is still owned by the city, became St. Patrick's Market." from Wikipedia³

• Residence: 1830; Northumberland Hall, Cobourg, Northumberland Co., Upper Canada; "Northumberland Hall was built by one of Cobourg's early distinguished citizens George Strange Boulton, about 1830. The house was standing in 1831 when William Cattermole, a visitor to the town, wrote that, "Mr. George S. Boulton has built himself an elegant mansion, on a rising ground below the village." Cobourg at the time was one of the most important town's in Upper Canada, ranking behind Kingston, and about the same size as York, before it was incorporated as Toronto.
  The Northumberland Hall property ran south to the lake, and including what is now Donegan Park, but was then called "Boulton Woods." In time, a race track was located on the property, and in 1855, it was the starting place for a famous "Grand Steeple Chase" which was run from the rear of the Boulton house east to the Haldimand Township line as a finale to the provincial exhibition which was held for a second time that year at Cobourg. The provincial exhibition was the forerunner of today's Canadian National Exhibition, and it used to move to various centers from year to year. It was in Cobourg in 1848 and 1855, and was held on land west of Cobourg Creek, north of King St. Eventually, it settled down in Toronto and became the CNE. Many years later, the park area became the site of the early Cobourg Horse Show and in the 100th show was an elegant event, lasting for most of the week. Northumberland Hall was owned for a time by a Mr. Rosamond, who operated the woolen mills on Tremaine St., in Cobourg, one of the largest of their type in the province and which later became the now demolished original buildings of the Cooey company which is now Winchester-Western.

  the Dominion of Canada, calling to mind the uncertainty of life and the propriety of making preparation for any change which it may please God in his wise and merciful Providence to occasion, do make and publish this, my last will and testament in manner following.
  In the first place, I commit my soul into the hands of Almighty God, trusting that through the merits and intersession of my blessed Savior, I may rise to a life of eternal happiness in the world to come.
  Secondly, I desire to be buried in the same grave with my two wives and daughter, Georgiana Beck, for all of whom I entertained the most affectionate regard and whose exemplary lives and devotion to their maker's service I trust have through the merits of their Savior ensured them a place in the Kingdom of Heaven.
  Thirdly, As to all my worldly goods and possessions which it hath pleased God to bless me and of which I have been an unprofitable
  steward, I do give, devise and bequeath the same to my dear daughter, Harriet, her heirs and assigns forever and I do confirm unto her the several sums of money settled upon her good mother and myself by our marriage settlement, the greater part whereof has been appointed to me and which has been many years ago secured on my real estate, she having consented to give over the money to which she was entitled under the said settlement into my hands, hoping to make it more productive and beneficial for the family.
  Fourthly, Having made an appointment of two thousand pounds sterling to my said daughter, the late Georgiana Beck, many years (ago) under my said settlement and she having placed the same in my hands in like manner as
  Harriet did, security was given to her for the same in a mortgage for four thousand pouns sterling to her and her sister, Harriet, jointly.
  This appointment I fully confirm and having paid large sums to the Reverend John Walton Romeyn Beck, husband of the said Georgiana Beck, which he is unable to repay me and he having also received all the money from his mother's estate, I cannot give him or his children any more particularly as Harriet will have to provide for not only herself but
  for her brother, Edward Trevor Boulton also.
  Fifthly, I do direct that on the payment of the mortgage of four thousand pounds herein mentioned by the sale of the property or
  otherwise, the half thereof be paid over to the surviving children of the said Georgiana Beck, their trustees or guardians by the said Harriet Boulton.
  Sixthly, I do direct and desire that my daughter, Harriet, shall pay to my son Edward Trevor during his natural life the annul sum of seventy pounds for his maintenance and support, or should my executors deem it more advisable Ie to pay the same to anyone who may provide him with comfortable maintenance, she may do so.
  Lastly, I nominate constitute and appoint my trusty and worthy friends, the Honorable Asa Allworth Burnham, Robert Dennistoun and John Burnham, both of the Town of Peterborough, Esquires, Executors and my daughter, Harriet, Executrix of this my last Will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me heretofore made.
  In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal at Cobourg aforesaid this sixteenth day of May in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty eight. Signed by George Strange Boulton and his attorney, M. F. Whitehead.
  Signed sealed and delivered by the Testator as his last Will and testament in our presence and in presence of each other and at his
  request. W. Porrigal and William M. Tooke." from an email sent by Vivian Boulos to Valerie Nov 18 2001 - not sure exactly how I cam across this, but I have a PDF of it now. (Dan Buchanan, Oct 23 2020)¹⁰

On his arrival at Newark (now Niagara), the capital of the Province, he was kindly received by this good and humane old soldier, the Governor, who entered into an agreement with him and Mr Elias Smith, that if they obtained 40 settlers from the other side within a specified time to settle in the Township of Hope, a free grant of 200 acres of land should be given to each, and they (Messrs Smith and Walton) should have the remainder of the land in the Township granted to them for compensation. They, however, failed in obtaining the requisite number of settlers in the specified time and therefore the agreement became null and void. The Governor then granted each 3,000 acres in the Township, part of which is that on which Port Hope is situated, to recompense them for what they had accomplished in obtaining settlers."

• Note: circa 1799; Schenectady, Schenectady Co., New York, U.S.A.; "Mr Walton resided but a short time in this country after he had become the recipient of the Governor's magnificent gift. He settled in Schenectady in the State of New York, opening a general store, as he afterwards alleged at the instance of Governor Simcoe, so that he would be better enabled to induce emigrants to settle in Upper Canada and assist them in coming. He, however, made several periodical visits to Smith's Creek and sent a boat loaded with goods yearly for several years, with a clerk as supercargo, to trade with the inhabitants. The route which they took to reach Cape Vincent was the same as our first settlers followed; thence they crossed over to Kingston, whence they coasted along the north shore of Lake Ontario to this place."
