Mary Grant married Edwin Horatio Seacole in 1836. They moved to Black River and opened a general store which was unsuccessful. While they were married, they traveled to the Bahamas, Haiti, and Cuba, where she furthered her studies in medicine. Mrs. Seacole explained that her husband’s health was often fragile, which led to his death in 1844. They were only married for eight years before he passed away, and they never had any children. In her will, he was identified as Viscount Nelson’s godson. Her life with him was loving and enjoyable, but in the end, she closed that chapter of her life and never remarried.
