Re: CHRISTOPHER-NJ to Canada w. brothers
In a book called "Niagara Falls;Canada a History of the City and the World Famous Beauty Spot" is a passage about Christopher Boughner.It's a Centennial Volume 1967 published by the Kiwanis Club of Stamford,Niagara Falls,Ontario."Christopher Boughner owned a farm located at the place where the Ferry Road came to an end at the river bank. His land was at the site of the present entrance to Queen Victoria Park. Upon Clark's urging, Boughner applied for permission to operate the ferry and he was highly recommended by Clark. Since 700 feet of the Ferry Road ran through Boughner's farm, it was logical that he should be given the right to operate the ferry and in 1820 he was granted this privilege for a period of seven years."
There is a bit more but doesn't give any more dates.
