David Willson (1778–1866) was a religious and political leader who founded the Quaker sect known as, 'The Children of Peace' or 'Davidites,' based at Sharon (formerly Hope) in York County, Upper Canada in 1812. As the primary minister to this group, he led them in constructing a series of remarkable buildings, the best known of which is the Sharon Temple, now a National Historic Site of Canada. A prolific writer, sympathizer and leader of the movement for political reform in Upper Canada, Willson, together with his followers, ensured the election of William Lyon Mackenzie, and both "fathers of Responsible Government", Robert Baldwin and Louis LaFontaine, in their riding.

  • David Willson (7 juin 1778 - 14 janvier 1866) était un chef religieux et mystique qui a contribué à la formation d'une secte dissidente des quakers, « Les Enfants de la paix » (The Children of Peace) ou « Davidites », basée à Sharon (anciennement Hope) dans la Municipalité régionale d'York, Haut-Canada en 1812. Un écrivain prolifique et sympathisant avec le mouvement pour la réforme politique dans le Haut-Canada, Willson et ses disciples étaient, au moins partiellement, impliqués dans la Rébellion des Patriotes de 1837. Il est aussi responsable de la construction du Sharon Temple. (fr)
