• 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/

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."

• 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
