Jacob Blackwell s of Samuel and Sarah Blackwell b 1785 -- (Sarah must be an error given marriage date of Samuel and Mary..... unless this is a different Samuel Blackwell but I don't know of a different Samuel Blackwell in this period)

I had been looking for a source for the birthdate of Jacob Blackwell. Sarah as the mother is in error, which hopefully does not call in error the 24 Mar 1785 as his birthdate. As I have noted in my entry for Jacob Blackwell, the DAR application of Edythe Blackwell Field lists the birthdate of Jacob Blackwell as 23 Jul 1785, but I was unable to find a primary source.

Is this what precipitated Astoria? 4 Mar 1812.. NY Post, p. 3...Looks like an estate being broken up, resulting in Hallet's Cove is being sold as ordered by chancery court in Samuel Blackwell and Cornelius Rapelye vs. Jacob Lewis, and Eliza his wife.

Perhaps this was the precursor to the precursor, instead marking beg. of the amusement park era. https://www.newspapers.com/image/38052801/?terms=blackwell

The Samuel Blackwell could theoretically be his son, though he was also busy getting married in North Carolina that year.
