Among other useful schools then flourishing in this vicinity were those of Alfred H.Parry, Nancy Grant, Benjamin McCoy, John Thomas Johnson, James Enoch Ambush, and Dr.John H.

After her death the work was carried on by Margaret Thompson until 1846.

She then married Charles Middleton and became his assistant teacher.
