There were fishing boats, passenger steamboats on their way between Kingston and Prescott, lake and ocean schooners bringing livestock and goods, picking up grain."

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:

He Land Registry Records show that William Jenkins purchased 14 acres of Lot 26 Conc I, Village of Northport from Peter Demill after October 1832 at Sophiasburgh Twp., Northport, Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada. He lived before 16 October 1832 at Kingston, Frontenac Co., Upper Canada; Marriage record shows that George King was from Kingston. He married Henrietta Jenkins, daughter of William Jenkins and ? ?, on 16 October 1832 at Presbyterian Church, Sophiasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada; Presbyterian Marriage Register for Rev. Robert James McDowall shows a marriage on Oct 16 1832, George Leroy King of Kingston and Henrietta Jenkins of Sophiasburgh
Note: This is the first time we have seen Henrietta's surname or George's middle name. This marriage register appears on several lists of marriages for Upper Canada. George N. King lived after 16 October 1832 at 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. He Land Registry Records do not include any transaction for George King in Northport or Concessions I and II of Sophiasburgh (West of Green Point) after 16 October 1832 at Sophiasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada. He 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. In that year the King family would have been living in Sophiasburgh, maybe at Northport where some of the children are said to have been born. in 1835 at Sophiasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada.¹ He Marriage Register: Groom: John Covert; Res.: Picton; Bride: Susan ?

Sanfield, C.P. Prince Edward Co. (Ontario Marriage Registers, 1838, Prince Edward Co., page 22 (pg. 2 of 11), ancestry.ca)
Note: The Witnesses are George and Henrietta King who lived at Northport and would move to Codrington. Theory has it that George King changed his name from Leroy to King when he came to Upper Canada from the Syracuse area in the 1820s. Any connection with Leroy has not been made, but there are hints, like them being a witness for the marriage of a Susan Leroy (more likely than Laroy) who may well be a relative from before the name change.

This suggests the energy and gumption of both boys and possibly the close relationship that may have developed by neccessity between them. in 1849 at Cramahe Twp., Codrington, Newcastle District, Canada West.

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. in 1851 at Cramahe Twp., Codrington, Northumberland Co., Canada West. He lived on 1 January 1852 at Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; Brighton Township was created from he east part of Cramahe and the west part of Murray townships.

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. in 1844 at Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West.

He was 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??? On 6 January 1858 at Postmaster, Codrington, Northumberland Co., Canada West. He lived on 11 February 1859 at 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.

Note: We know Isaac was in California but the address appears say "Cal. Michigan Bar". He 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.

'My poor Isaac, how it will wound your heart, you need to feel so proud of me.'"
