Ebenezer Meriam (1794-1864) was a New York meteorologist, pamphleteer and philanthropist who contributed regularly to the schools for Oneida and Onondaga Indian children on the reservation in Central New York.
Samuel J. May (1797-1871), a graduate of Harvard University, was a Unitarian clergyman and social activist. Although his primary interest was in civil rights and particularly abolition, he also raised funds to help build a meeting house and school on the Onondaga Indian reservation and arranged government funding for a teacher.
