[93280] MICHAEL BLACKWELL OF SANDWICH, MASS. (c. 1620-1710) By LYDIA B. (PHINNEY)
BROWNSON, of Duxbury. Mass., and MACLEAN w. mClEAN, of Pittsburgh, Pa.
One of the early Sandwich settlers who has failed to enlist the serious
attention of genealogists is Michael Blackwell. This lack of attention
is probably largely due to the fact that the female descendants who
matured and left issue greatly outnumbered the males. But whatever the
cause, the absence of printed data on this Sandwich family causes
unnecessary confusion to many persons who have attempted to work with the
many families which have intermarried with the Blackwells.
No attempt has been made by the present writers to investigate possible
connections between Michael Blackwell and others of the name in England
or America. It certainly would be interesting to know whether the
Sandwich family was in any way related to the Rulling Elder Francis
Blackwell of the Separatist Church whose recantation William Bradford
criticized. Actually it is by no means certain that the family name was
originally Blackwell. The Sandwich list of men between 16 and 60 able to
bear arms in 1643 includes one Myles Black. James Savage in his
Genealogical Dictionary of The First Settlers in New England, 1860, vol.
1, p. 191, says "hardly can I doubt that this man called by Savage
"Michael or Myles Blackwell" is he designated in the Col. list of those
able to bear arms 1643, as Miles Black" (THE REGisTER, vol. 4, p. 257,
July 1850). This Question puzzled also Thomas Spooner, the compiler of
the Memorial of William Spooner, 1871, who corresponded with the Rev.
Frederick Freeman author of The History of Cape Cod, 1858. Spooner
quotes Freeman as saying: "The Blackwells of Sandwich were generally
called Black. Even since my remembrance the latter name was used for
those who wrote the name Blackwell and in some early instances of record,
the same Liberty was taken. The progenitor himself is in one instance at
least on record as Black" (p: 60:61 footnotes.
It seems to us that the evidence, while not conclusive, strongly suggests
that Miles Black and Michael Blackwell were one and the same person. The
reader may speculate for himself from the data available. Conclusive
proof of identity doubtless would have been found in the Barnstable
County land records, but these were destroyed in the 1827 fire.
Fortunately Michael Blackwell and his son, and grandsons left wills and
probate records which are unusually complete. The earliest reference we
find has to do with Miles Blacke who was a creditor in the amount of 7
shillings due from the estate of William Swift, Sr., 29 Jan. 1642
(Plymouth Colony Probate, Liber 1, p. 44, in May. Des., 8:170, December
1900). This first reference, by the way, poses a second problem of
confusion of identities, namely.the fact that there was in New England at
an early date a gentleman of some wealth and influence called "Mr. John
Blackwell." This complication will be discussed under the account of John
Blackwell. For the moment it is enough to point out the really
extraordinary co-incidence that the Swift estate should have been
indebted to both Miles Black of Sandwich and to "Mr. Blackwell," since
so far as we can find the latter was of Boston and co. Middlesex,
England, and had no interest in Sandwich.
In 1643 Miles Black's name appears on the list of Sandwich men aged
between 16 and 60, able to bear arms (The Register, Op. Cit.), but
Michael Blackwell's name does not appear. Yet 7 June 1648 "Mycaell
Blackwell" served on the grand inquest; and the following October
"Micaell Blackwell" served as grand juror in the infanticide case of
Alice Bishop (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, ed., Records of the Colony of New
Plymouth . . . , 2:134, cf. p. 124, where his name appears as Mycaell
Blackwell). An agreement was made 17 Jan. 1652 by the town of Sandwich
