History and family tales state that the Blackmore family was very well off in Maryland, infact they once owned the land where the White house stands today, the family leased the land to the government on a 99 years lease, when that expired the family sent lawyers to Washington D.C. to renew it, well Washington bought out the lawyers causing the family too go bankrupt.

William Blackmore owned the land that the US Capital (sic?) stand on and at the time that the District of Columbia was for med from the 3 states, his land was leased by the Government." --It was published about the year 1901--
