Kids as young as twelve joined militias, families sent children inland for safety, and even teachers like Wilson recommended Morristown as a refuge. But British forces soon occupied the area, forcing Washington’s army into winter quarters—and schools into wartime use. Beyond formal lessons in reading, writing, and religion, kids learned trades through apprenticeships and church-based education. By 1778, the government tried to keep schools open by exempting teachers with 15+ students—but loyalty oaths were required. Some educators, like Robert Timpany, even sided with the British, while others saw their own schoolhouses seized by both sides, proving how deeply the war infiltrated everyday life.
