In 1857, he married Caroline Augusta, the daughter of George Hamilton. He served as reeve for Newmarket for a number of years. With others, Boultbee established the North York Sentinel and served as its editor for several years. He helped organize the local Freemason lodge and held an office in the Grand Lodge of Canada.
