September Spotlight: One of Our Notable Graves

Betsey Stockton: From Slave to Free Woman to Missionary

Betsey Stockton

Betsey Stockton led a truly remarkable life. She was born into slavery in New Jersey in the 18th century and later became a free woman, an educator, and a missionary in the Sandwich Islands (now Hawaii). She was the first African American woman to travel overseas as a missionary, and only the second unmarried American woman to do so.
