        History

        Reverend (Rev.) William Colsell King came to Nova Scotia as an Anglican missionary sponsored by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel of London, United Kingdom. He was missionary at Douglass and Rawdon townships in 1797 until 1808 when he accepted the position of Principal at King's College School in Windsor (now called King's Edgehill School). Rev. King married Harriott Sophia DeWolf (1781-1807), the daughter of Honourable Benjamin and Rachel (Otis) DeWolf. In 1824 Rev. King married a second time, to Ann (Nixon) DeWolf and became step-father to 11-year old Thomas N. DeWolf.
