William Crosscomb was a Methodist minister.
Crosscomb was born in England. He became a Methodist minister in 1810.[1]
Crosscomb was the chairman of the 1817 British Wesleyan Methodist conference in the Canadas. Around that time British Wesleyans had begun to minister in the Canadas, in direct competition with the American Methodists. He did not attend the conference, but was merely a symbolic head; in 1817 he was working in Liverpool, Nova Scotia.[1]
