Blennerhassetts Isle. From the Topeka Capital. People traveling up or down ‘the Ohio River will have their attention called to an island known as Blen- nerhassetts Island, which became historic by reason of Blennerhassett's connection with Aaron Burr. Harman Blennerhassett realized a fortune of about $100,000 through the sale of his Irish estate. When he came to the United States most of his money was left behind, to be drawn upon as needed, through an American banker. The Ohio River island which now EN YOUR PIANO WORCHS 110 G EST. 1879 —_— bears his name is said to have been once the property of George Washing- ton, part of an Ohio River tract he located in 1770. When Blennerhassett first saw it, it belonged to Elijah Backus, a_Marietta editor, and was known as Backus Island. It had an area of about 297 acres, and records show Backus had paid $883.33 for it. Blennerhassett did not buy the entire island, but the upper portion, contain- ing about 170 acres. He bought 4t from Backus in March, 1798, for $4,500. Blennerhassett named it Isle de Beau, and called it that during his occupancy, although his own name was soon attached to it by his neigh bors.
