You are correct that there was a "scho...Leah, <br />You are correct that there was a "schoolmaster" or male school teacher in what is now Wisconsin before Electa Quinney.<br />However, I'm now of the impression that Electa Quinney did teach in the 1820's for a while and then again in the early 1830's.<br /><br />Here's what we get from the state historical society's website: <br />Wisconsin's first public schoolteacher was Electa Quinney, a member of the Stockbridge-Munsee band of Mohicans. Quinney had come to Wisconsin in the massive Indian removal from New York in 1827 and was especially interested in teaching the children of the Stockbridge-Munsee settlement around Kaukauna. In 1828, she opened the first school in the state without an enrollment fee, allowing families who had been unable to afford school fees the luxury of an education. <br /><br /><br />So not only was she the first schoolmistress, but also the first public school teacher in what is now Wisconsin.Jeff Siemershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162729454401137173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256462624206825199.post-59377489837790337852012-03-16T16:10:27.768-05:002012-03-16T16:10:27.768-05:00The claim is that Electa Quinney was the first fem...The claim is that Electa Quinney was the first female public school teacher, hence the use of the term "Schoolmistress".

Davidson as correct, but it isn't necessarily so. I don't know where he got that date from, but no other historians have tried to prove otherwise. (Cutting Marsh never wrote that Electa Quinney had been "Re-hired," he just said they "hired" one of their own people.)Jeff Siemershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162729454401137173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256462624206825199.post-43410214227212307612009-04-30T08:44:00.000-05:002009-04-30T08:44:00.000-05:00Marty, you're giving away some of the good stuff I...Marty, you're giving away some of the good stuff I've been planning for an upcoming post!
