India Point was a section of houses mostly owned by oystermen and fishermen that was removed from the rest of the population.
Through a society if benevolent ladies, Harriet Ware was requested to teach in this area in great need of an instructor.
[1] Ware was a dedicated teacher, making sure every one of her approximate forty students was learning and understanding the course material.
While Harriet was aware of the work she accomplished, she gave credit to the Lord for guiding her and was extremely modest of her own impact she had in transforming the lives of the children at India Point.
A woman mentioned as Mrs. W. (wife of an intelligent and elite gentleman) was kind to Ware and provided funds to help equip the classroom and purchase other supplies.
An “invaluable assistant” is also mentioned as coming to India Point to initially set up, but staying far longer than expected.
