About Frances King

Frances "Fanny" King, née Bernard was an English philanthropist and author. Her father, Sir Francis Bernard, 1st Baronet, was Governor of the Provinces of New Jersey and Massachusetts in America, though Frances was born and remained in England. She had four children, after which she assisted her brother Thomas with his philanthropic work, and then herself became involved in founding schools and libraries in the parishes where her husband served. After her brother's death she continued to involve herself in projects to assist the poor. Three of her grandchildren were also well-known: Admiral Richard Collinson, one of the naval officers searching for the lost Franklin Expedition in the arctic; the writer Lady Julia Cecilia Stretton; and the engineer Thomas Bernard Collinson.
