American Toby Jug Museum 

Eleazer Wheelock toby jug trial colorway designed by Lorna Bailey and modeled by Anthony Cartlidge, and produced by Old Ellgreave Pottery of Burslem, England, in 1998. Eleazar Wheelock (1711-1779) was an American Congregational minister, orator, and educator in present-day Columbia, Connecticut, for 35 years before founding Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. He had tutored Samson Occom, a Mohegan who became a Presbyterian minister and the second Native American to publish writings in English. Before founding Dartmouth, Wheelock founded and ran the Moor's Charity School in Connecticut to educate Native Americans. The college was primarily for the sons of American colonists. Occom, featured as the handle of this jug, was Dartmouth's first fundraiser, traveling to England to seek financial support for the school.
