• Notes

  Roosevelt Island When John Manning died in 1686, 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. It was renamed Roosevelt Island in 1971 after Franklin D. Roosevelt. Married twice: 1. Walter Manningham - died at sea in 1673 2. John Manning
