Following the War of 1812 those members of the Upper Canada Militia who had served in an active roll were entitled to land.

39247np. Np. 1802. 46x 62cm 18" x 25" printed with hand-written entries vellum with large circular seal attached to deed with ribbon docket on verso mounted on stiff card backing and professionally framed with glass on both sides to display both the deed docket and both sides of the seal plain wooden frame 82x 94cm a fine example of an early Ontario land grant displayed in museum quality very rare. In my experience Lands Grants from this period with the seal intact are very scarce. In addition these documents prior to 1810 are very rare. I only remember seeing any of these once previously; about thirty five years ago in the offices of Joseph Patrick Books Toronto. The area in the Bay of Quinte was settled in the early spring of 1794 by disbanded soldiers of the 2nd Battalion Rogers' Corps. The grantee married the daughter of one of the officers Ensign David Fraser. Joshua Booth 1759-1813 a miller was one of first elected members of the Upper Canadian Parliament assembled in Newark in 1792 and served as a Captain in the Hastings Militia. "Died at Ernestown on Saturday Oct. 31 1813 suddenly Joshua Booth Esq. aged 54 years. He was one of the oldest settlers in that place and ever retained the character of a respectable citizen. Left a widow and ten children." Canniff: Settlement of Upper Canada 1869. The deed has been endorsed and signed by the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada Peter Hunter who held the position from 1799 to 1805. His military responsibilities as commander-in-chief of the forces in Canada necessitated his often absence from York and government was left in the hands of executive councillors believed to be the origination of the "Family Compact". np.
