Job Boynton came to Burlington, VT as early as 1780 (most likely in 1783). He walked the last 100 miles on snow shoes through the woods and built the third house in Burlington, VT which stood on the corner of King and Water streets. Job Boynton and his sons Jedediah, Elijah, Peter and John, built many vessels upon Lake Champlain between 1790 and 1815. Among them the Burlington Packet, Fair Trader, Gold Hunter, Leopard, President, Rising Sun, Euretta, and Union. The President was Lieutenant MacDonough's flag ship in the War of 1812 on Lake Champlain. (Abby M Hemenway, Historical Gazetteer of Burlington Vermont, p668-70).

Gideon King, with Job Boynton initiated the shipbuilding boom on lake Champlain in the late 1780s with two small cutters for service to Burlington VT, Essex,NY and Plattsburgh, NY. In 1790, the two entrepreneurs purchased two old warships in Canada to haul cargo between Saint Jean OC and Burlington. They launched two more vessels in 1793.
