Initialled by Sir Peregrine Maitland and signed by John Beverly Robinson, Attorney General. Goulbourn Township was part of the Richmond Military Settlement established in 1818 to settle disbanded soldiers of the 100th (99th) and 37th Regiments of Foot following the close of the War of 1812. As a private of the 99th, James West was entitled to 100 acres along with basic tools and supplies. The land appears to be near the village of Ashton. "McRorie and West.settled not far from the present Village (Ashton), but left for some other part of the country some time later, having sold out their claims". (Belden's Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Carleton. 1879).

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").
