• Notes

  Blackwell Island When John Manning died in 1686, his stepdaughter Mary Manningham renamed the island after her husband, Robert Blackwell. Blackwell Island remained in private hands until 1828, when the City of New York purchased it and transformed it into a setting for mental institutions, hospitals and prisons. Reflecting this setting as a repository for the down and out, the city renamed the property Welfare Island in 1921. Bio: Mary was the daughter of Walter and Bridget Manningham, and the stepdaughter of Capt. John Manning, Sheriff of New York and garrison commander when New York City was surrendered to the Dutch in 1673. She married Robert Blackwell (as his second wife) by license dated 26 Apr. 1676 in Newtown, Queens Co., NY. They are believed to have had 10 known children.
