Charles Worrell
Charles Worrell (ca 1770 – January 6, 1858) was a lawyer, land owner and political figure in Prince Edward Island. He represented Kings County in the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island from 1812 to 1825.
He was the son of Jonathan Worrell, a land owner in Barbados. Worrell was trained as a lawyer and practised in England. His father gave his property in Barbados to his elder sons but also purchased land for Charles and his brother Edward on Prince Edward Island in 1803. The brothers became owner of Lot 41, most of Lot 39 and part of Lot 40. Charles also became land agent for Lot 42. In 1810, he registered as a barrister for the island's Supreme Court. Worrell had purchased Lot 42 by 1834 and also acquired Lot 43 and Lot 66. In 1838, he purchased his brother's share of the shared properties. Although his properties were generally less productive in terms of agriculture compared to other land on the island, they also supported shipyards, sawmills and a carding mill. Worrell also served as a justice of the peace, high sheriff and was lieutenant-colonel in the local militia. He served in the island's Council from 1825 to 1836 and in the Legislative Council from 1839 to 1843. He left for England in 1848, leaving control of his properties to a board of trustees. In 1854, William Henry Pope purchased Worrell's properties, later selling them for almost twice the purchase price to the island's government. Worrell died in London in 1858.
