West Virginia reburial planned for Blennerhassett couple
Margaret Blennerhassett and her son Harman Jr. will be reburied on Blennerhassett Island in Ohio River State Park after exhumation from New York Marble Cemetery. Parkersburg funeral director John Rockhold said the remains will be placed near the rebuilt 7000 square foot mansion on the island, linking the family to the historic Burr era. Harman Blennerhassett, who fled Ireland in 1796, aided Burr in an alleged plot to seize territory or form an independent nation, a plan historians say Burr pursued with armed expeditions to Texas.
