Harman and Margaret Blennerhassett came to America in 1796 from Ireland and settled on the island that today bears their name, building an opulent home in what, at that time, was “the American west.” Accused of conspiring with former Vice President Aaron Burr to commit treason. Harman was released from prison after Burr’s acquittal, but the family’s fortunes had turned and they died in poverty.
