Captain and Mrs. Boswell were "very pleasing and very kind", and lived east of the village, not far from the present "Kingston Crossing". Afternoon teas were enjoyed at these homes, and sometimes dancing followed; and sleighing parties were popular on dear, frosty nights." from Cobourg 1798 - 1948, by Edwin C. Guillet, pg 13.
  "Believed to be the oldest house in Cobourg, it stands on the southeast corner of King and Church Street.; Notes: The Bank of Upper Canada had a monopoly in the province during the early 1800s. James Gray Bethune was the first representative in Cobourg for the Bank of Upper Canada. Then around 1830 "Squire" Robert Henry opened the first private bank, The Cobourg Bank, at this location. James Gray Bethune, later took it over as he was sympathetic to the settlers' banking needs. (Bethune's sister Cristy was married to Robert) It was robbed in 1835 causing Bethune to go bankrupt. Shortly after the Bank of Upper Canada's monopoly was broken and new banks appeared." Cobourg Public Library Images, ID: 720-25 - called the Minaker House, King E & Church.
