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. 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.⁴
• Note: 5 June 1838; Picton, Prince Edward Co., Upper Canada; 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.

• Note*: 1846; Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Canada West; "The first brick house at Codrington was built by George King, Lloyd Ames' great-great grandfather. It was later occupied by the residents Harrison King, Walter Ames, Lloyd Ames, Mary & Charles Buchanan and now Lawrence Banford. This house and the other three he built for his sons are the only houses with a fireplace."
  "George King burned the brick to build three houses, one for each of his sons. Gordon McGee, Arthur Ames and Carman Ruttan live in those houses now."
  (from pages 87 and 88 of As The Crow Flies, by Mrs. Leulla M. Austin, published by Mika Publishing, 1976)
  Note: Charles Buchanan tells of digging up many shards of brick in the garden to the south east of the house. Lloyd Ames said that this is where the brick was burned for the houses that George King built.

• 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: Brighton Township was created January 1, 1852 so the 1851 Census was taken during 1852 and maybe later. We can see evidence of this in the King family because the last two King children were born in September 1851 and they appear in the 1851 Census.⁷
