It was small - two streets leading down the hill to the bay, and the shore road, which was called Morden Street, in Northport, through the middle. The atmosphere in Northport was shipping. There were fishing boats, passenger steamboats on their way between Kingston and Prescott, lake and ocean schooners bringing livestock and goods, picking up grain."
  "The first people in the village were James Morden and Isaac Demille in 1791. The Solmes's came soon after and the Spragues in 1812. Morden's is said to have been the first house in Sophiasburgh. James's son Richard Morden kept the village's first store. By 1850 there were three stores and a blacksmith shop. Samuel Sprague was postmaster. Northport had one church, Methodist, one school, and was widely considered one of the prettiest villages in Canada West."

  Following is what I found here re George King - and almost nothing else. It is full of errors but provides some interesting insights. It is the first and only place I have seen Henrietta's father's name and that George was definitely in Kingston before coming to Sophiasburgh.
  King (Leroy) family of P.E.Co. & Brighton:
  George King born U.S.A., res Kingston by 1832, but settled Sophiasburgh 1830, and also resided in Crofton, Ont. His wife, Henrietta Jenkins, d/o William a shoemaker from Northport. Henrietta born Sophiasburgh. Married Oct. 16, 1832. (From Presbyterian Register). Three Children:
  Emma, Harrison, & Dr. William Henry King.
  Emma King, 2nd wife of Albert Wilson Post, no issue. Res. Brighton, Ont.
  Harrison King, married Mary Eliza Post, sister of Albert. No issue, res. Brighton, Ont.
  Dr. William Henry King, born 1835 in Crofton, Ont. Res. Brighton, Ont. He died age 24 yrs. In 1859. Married Sarah Ann lawson. Dr. William studied medicine in Toronto & Hamilton, returned to Brighton in 1858. Died tragic death. Methodist, 5'7". From Burr;s Book. Family of Huguenot ancestry.
• Note: after October 1832; Sophiasburgh Twp., Northport, Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada; Land Registry Records show that William Jenkins purchased 14 acres of Lot 26 Conc I, Village of Northport from Peter Demill
• Residence: before 16 October 1832; Kingston, Frontenac Co., Upper Canada; Marriage record shows that George King was from Kingston
• Residence: after 16 October 1832; Sophiasburgh Twp, Northport, Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada; After his marriage George King lived in Northport, Sophiasburgh. He was a young man of 21 and had no property so he likely worked at the docks of Northport which was a booming port town at that time. Of course, he could have worked as a farm labourer in the area although he would not likely have lived in Northport in that case.
  William Jenkins owned property in Northport and was a shoemaker so it is easy to see how young George King could have met and married Henrietta soon after coming to the small village.
• Note: after 16 October 1832; Sophiasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada; Land Registry Records do not include any transaction for George King in Northport or Concessions I and II of Sophiasburgh (West of Green Point)
• Note: 1835; Sophiasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada; The date "1835" and the name "King" are written on the inside of the front cover of a miniature Wesleyan Methodist Hymnal which was passed down through our grandfather, Lloyd Ames.

• Illness*: 1849; Cramahe Twp., Codrington, Newcastle District, Canada West; The account about William Henry King says that for several years before William went off to Normal School in 1851 his father George was ill with dispesia and the two yongsters, William and Isaac, handled the farm work until the man of the house was able to carry the weight again. This suggests the energy and gumption of both boys and possibly the close relationship that may have developed by neccessity between them.

  Note: George King likely named the village as he was one of the earliest settlers there. However, it probably happend in the late 1850's after the Crimean War was over and the stories about Col. Codrington would have been written up in newspapers.
• Residence: 1 January 1852; Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; Brighton Township was created from he east part of Cramahe and the west part of Murray townships. The old border between Cramahe and Murray was just east of Codringtn. All of the King farm was in the Cramahe side, so Concession 9, lost 2, 3 and later, 4.

• Note: 1844; Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; The King family moved from Northport, Sophiasburg Township, Prince Edward County to Cramahe Township in Northumberland County. The land where they settled would become part of the newly created Brighton Township in 1852 and the southern edge of their property would be sold for village lots as the village of Codrington took shape in the 1860s and 1870s.
• Census: June 1852; Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; Age 16 at 1851 Census: see George King⁷
• Occupation*: 6 January 1858; Postmaster, Codrington, Northumberland Co., Canada West; The National Archives of Canada show that Isaac King was Postmaster at Codrington from June 1, 1858 until March 1859 when it says he "Left the province". This matches with information from William Henry King's murder trial that Isaac was in California at the time of his arrest, trial and execution.
  Note: Sorry. This does not altogether match. Sarah King died Nov 4 1858 and the trial was April 4 1859, hanging June 9th. It is hard to imagine that Isaac would have gone to California AFTER his brother was arrested. Maybe he left in Sep 1858 or so and would have been gone for the whole thing - the dates re the post office lagging in the records???
• Residence: 11 February 1859; Michigan Bar, California, U.S.A.; "To My Parents; Dear Parents, to you who has been so kind and who has undergone so many troubles and heardships for my own good, I feel it my duty as I have arived at the age of twenty three to give you the credit and Honour off my ariving to this age without one blemished or guilty stain to encounter. Cal. Michigan Bar - Isaac N. King; Saturday, February 11/59" (below a blank space:)"Far from my native land I strove .. Who has watched me through night and day and to my parents I will prove to you my debts I never can pay read the first and third together" (This text was found on a small loose sheet of paper inside the notebook where William Henry King (Isaac's older brother) wrote "A Last Prayer" for his mother on June 6 1859, 3 days before he was hanged at Cobourg for poisoning his wife.)
  Note: We know Isaac was in California but the address appears say "Cal. Michigan Bar".
• Note: March 1859; California, U.S.A.; Between March 1859 and 1861 Isaac King went to California. The account of William Henry King's story mentions that William got a letter from Issac who was in California. The list of Postmasters says that the reason for leaving was "Leaving the country".
  Note: The John Goodfellow story tells that several of his sons went to California with a few others from the area in 1859 and several others some years later. No mention is made of Isaac King, although they were close neighbours. The timing is not right for Isaac to have been one of the early bunch that went per the Goodfellow story - maybe the later ones.
  
• Note: May 1859; Court House, Cobourg, Northumberland Co., Canada West; The account of William Henry King's trial includes diary entries from one Alexander Stewart who was assigned to guard William while he was in jail awaiting execution. His words include the following entries:
  Soon after the trial: "Mr. Bennett had two letters, one from a brother in California who heard of his imprisonment and expected to hear of his acquital, expressed his (William's) regret to think how it would vex him to hear if his verdict and sentence. 'My poor Isaac, how it will wound your heart, you need to feel so proud of me.'"
  Only a few days before the end: "The Judge, his counsel, his brother Isaac in California, and numerous others received letters from King during the weeks prior to his execution."

The gaoler was present during the interview, and as the two were allowed to converse only through a small hole in the cell door, he is quite sure nothing was handed from one to the other.

It was John D.'s brother Anthony who moved his family to St. Thomas, N. Dakota. In 1881 he and his six older children moved West. Then in 1883 his wife, Ann, and their four younger children came to St. Thomas. Two books which record Garnett histories are: "A Centrury of St. Thomas Times" 1880-1980, pages 99-101 and "Beneath the Long Grass". I think I have recorded man of the descendants of John D. and Margaret - as well as all of John D.'s and Amelia's - and I 've met and visited many of them. Very interesting! I am pleased that Joseph is interested in the family records. Perhaps he will keep them, too. Good luck with your research. My husband, Elgin Garnett, died in 1979. Emily B.
