Horace Mann Albany, New York

Are you sure he was sent to NY?Horace Mann, the educator (founder of the public school system)was born in Franklin, Mass. in 1796.He held various elective offices in Massachusetts, and became president of Antioch College in Ohio in 1853.Since your ggf was very well educated, I wonder if it was that Horace Mann he was sent to?Have you checked the Mass. records for info?
(I was born in Franklin, MA and my older sister, who became a teacher, was very interested in Horace Mann's history.)
