  • Notes 
    • "Therese Walling Seabrook [...] was very active in the women's suffrage movement in the late 19th and early 20th century as well as the temperance movement, being a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union of Keyport, New Jersey. A highlight of the collection is a letter from Susan B. Anthony (February 22, 1888) to Seabrook thanking her for a monetary donation and comments on her visit to Washington D.C., note by Florence Howe Hall, co-signed by Emma Blackwell and a letter by Clara Bewick Colby." [Rand Boyd, citation details below.]

      "Therese Walling Seabrook lived on West Front Street overlooking the Bay. She was the wife of a prominent businessman in Keyport and an activist for women’s rights. She was a strong supporter of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union and an advocate of women’s suffrage. In her mind, as in the minds of others late in the 19th-century, there was a connection between the temperance movement and the suffrage movement. In 1884, suffragists Phebe Hanaford of Jersey City, Therese Walling Seabrook of Keyport, and Henry Blackwell of Massachusetts met with the New Jersey Assembly Judiciary Committee to press for the introduction of a women’s suffrage resolution in the Assembly. They succeeded in having the bill introduced, but the Assembly would take no action on the resolution." [Keyport Historical Society: Three Generations of Seabrook Women]

      "Mrs. Seabrook was an intellectually gifted woman, steeped in local genealogical lore, derived from her great ancestors. Upon their laps she sat when young, or with the assembled elders at the nearby hearthside, to be entertained by their constant repetitions of tales of exposure, hardship, love and war. The old are garrulous, live in the past, delight in the young, and with contracted lives and thought they become the local historians of the past to young but willing ears, upon whose excited imagination the stories remain indelibly impressed. Thus it was that Mrs. Seabrook passed onward the tales of her childhood." [John E. Stilwell, citation details below]
