Nancy Michael

Nancy (Amos) Michael "Black Nance"

• Birth: circa 1772
• Death: December 27, 1856

African American Heritage Trail of Martha’s Vineyard plaque, along the Memorial Wharf in Edgartown, honors Nancy Michael. Nancy (1772-1856), a former slave, had a seemingly mysterious reputation as someone attentive to the wants of children, a “conjure woman” and as someone who was feared in the seafaring community of Edgartown.
