Charles Frederic Wenzel (1769–18??) was a German Lutheran missionary who worked in Sierra Leone. He worked under the auspices of the Anglican Church Missionary Society (CMS). Wenzel was from Breslau, Silesia and attended a seminary in Berlin. He left for England in 1807, where he presented himself to the CMS who found him suitable missionary material.[1]{{rp|238}} In 1816, he was appointed to the missionary facilities at Kissy, Sierra Leone. This village had been founded to accommodate liberated enslaved Africans who had been freed by the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron. In 1818, Wenzel ran a school at which 74 boys and 72 girls attended.[2] He married Frances Beverhout, the daughter of Henry Beverhout.[3]{{rp|177}} Gustavus Reinhold Nyländer was his brother-in-law.[4] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Walker|first1=Samuel Abraham|title=Missions in Western Africa, Among the Soosoos, Bulloms, &c: Being the First Undertaken by the Church Missionary Society for Africa and the East|date=1845|publisher=William Curry|location=Dublin|accessdate=7 May 2016}} {{SierraLeone-bio-stub}}2. ^{{cite journal|title=Chronological List of Protestant Missionary Stations|journal=Missionary Herald|volume=XIV|page=165|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=E-wWAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA165&lpg=PA165&dq=charles+wenzel+sierra+leone&source=bl&ots=e3oBD5bOx3&sig=WuT6MGFUiAR5uuyPvnquVciiN2o&hl=en&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwins7vvteDMAhXmCMAKHW83AM0Q6AEIJjAC#v=onepage&q=charles%20wenzel%20sierra%20leone&f=false|accessdate=17 May 2016}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1= Wilson|first1=Ellen Gibson|title=John Clarkson and the African Adventure|date=1980|publisher=Macmillan Press|location=London|accessdate=17 May 2016}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Clifford|first1=Mary Louise|title= From Slavery to Freetown: Black Loyalists After the American Revolution|date=2006|publisher=McFarland and Co.|location=Jefferson, North Carolina|page=202|accessdate=16 March 2016}} 1 : German Anglican missionaries |
