After leaving New York, the Childs settled in Wayland, Massachusetts, where they spent the rest of their lives. Child also served as a member of the executive board of the American Anti-Slavery Society during the 1840s and 1850s, alongside Lucretia Mott and Maria Weston Chapman. During this period, she also wrote short stories, exploring, through fiction, the complex issues of slavery.
