Charles Coxwell Small (1800-1864)

He was born at Toronto in 1800 and was named for his great-uncle, the Rev. Charles Coxwell who succeeded to Ablington Manor in Gloucestershire in 1754. Charles Small succeeded his father as chief clerk of the Executive Council of Canada and significantly enlarged and remodelled his childhood home, Berkeley House. He raised prize-winning cattle on his home farm and donated 3-acres on which the St. John's Norway Church was built. Coxwell Avenue in Toronto is named for him. In England, at Fulham Church, near London, he married Frances Elizabeth Innes, of Bath, who had been educated in France. They were the parents of five sons and two daughters.
