35. Mary Jane, b. Bristol, May 2, 1815. When she was four years of age she went to Boston to live with relatives. In 1839, she went from Boston to Oberlin, Ohio, to obtain an education. She obtained a scholar- ship and worked four hours a day for her board, and continued this for five years, until completing the Ladies' course. In the winter of 1842, she taught the first school for colored children in town of Waverly, Pike Co., Ohio, in a log house. After having taught two weeks, a mob destroyed her schoolhouse by fire. At the end of two weeks more she had obtained another log house and again her school was in operation, and the term of three months was finished, although she was in frequent receipt of threatening letters, some of which threatened her with a coat of tar and feathers if she did not desist from teaching the blacks. Aug. 29, 1844, she married Rev. Seth T. Wolcott of the Theological School at Oberlin. Having completed his labors there, he was sent as a missionary to Jamaica, West Indies, by the American Board of Foreign Missions. They left New York in a sailing vessel in Nov., 1846. On the passage the vessel was wrecked and after drifting one week, reached Charles- town, S. C., where they remained eight weeks, while the vessel was undergoing repairs. They arrived in Jamaica in Feb., 1847, and were sent to Union Station Hermitage, in the mountains. Mr. Wolcott preached half the time there and half the time at an out-station, Mrs. Wol- cott conducting services at home when her husband was away. In 1855, they left Hermitage, and went to Richmond, Jamaica, W. I., to a sugar estate of 1,000 acres, and formed an Industrial school to teach children to become useful men and women. Both sexes were admitted to the day and boarding school, the girls being taught sewing and housework, and the boys working on the estate when not in school. A church was also organized at Richmond at this time. The school was continued till 1869, and during its continuance 3,000 pupils attended. After closing the school they continued to do what they could for the good of the colored people until the death of Mr. Wolcott, which occurred in Dec., 1873. Mrs. Wol- cott was postmaster ten years at Richmond, where she was still living in the summer of 1903, vigorous at 88 years of age. Children :
