Jacob
Oneida Indians; Moor's Indian Charity School
Moor's Indian Charity School (October 1765 until before January 1769)
Oneida
- Lebanon, CT (from 1765-10-05)
Jacob was an Oneida student who came to Moor's with Mundius on October 5, 1765. He went home to Oneida in the spring of 1767 and returned with Ralph Wheelock that same October. It is unclear how long Jacob stayed at the school; at the latest, he must have left with the rest of the Oneida children on January 20, 1769. Jacob had a female relative who was opposed to his studying at Moor's (Wheelock calls her Jacob's aunt).
