  • Samuel Blodgett (April 1, 1724-September 1, 1807) (sometimes spelled Blodget, and sometimes Samuel Blodgett, Sr. to distinguish him from descendants with the same name) was an early American lawyer, industrialist, and financier who founded the city of Manchester, New Hampshire. As a lawyer, Blodgett served as a mediator between the sides in the Pine Tree Riot, getting a settlement from anti-Crown mill owners who had hired him to represent their case against the Royalist governor of New Hampshire John Wentworth in 1772. During the American Revolutionary War he firmly supported the patriot cause. In 1807, Blodgett built a canal around Amoskeag Falls to aid in navigation of ships traveling up and down the Merrimack River. He pushed for the renaming of the small rural town of Derryfield, New Hampshire to Manchester, in honor of Manchester in England, a well-known textile-manufacturing center. The renaming of the town, at Blodgett's behest, coincided with the founding of the Amoskeag Mills by his friend and fellow industrialist Benjamin Prichard. The town would later be incorporated as a city and become the most populous city in the state of New Hampshire. (en)
  • Samuel Blodgett (a volte scritto Blodget, e, talvolta, Samuel Blodgett Sr.; Woburn, 1º aprile 1724 – Manchester, 1º settembre 1807) è stato un avvocato e imprenditore statunitense, fondatore della città di Manchester, nel New Hampshire. Come avvocato, Blodgett servì da mediatore tra le parti nella Pine Tree Riot, ottenendo,nel 1772, un accordo dai proprietari di mulini contrari alla Corona inglese che lo avevano assunto per rappresentare la loro causa contro il governatore realista del New Hampshire John Wentworth. Durante la guerra d'indipendenza americana fu un fermo sostenitore della causa dei patrioti indipendentisti. Nel 1807, Blodgett costruì un canale intorno alle cascate Amoskeag per aiutare la navigazione del fiume Merrimack. Nel 1810, spinse per la ridenominazione della piccola città rurale di Derryfield, nel New Hampshire, in Manchester, in onore dell'onomonima città inglese, noto centro di produzione tessile. La ridenominazione della città, per volere di Blodgett, coincise con la fondazione della Amoskeag Mills da parte del suo amico e collega industriale Benjamin Prichard. Gli stabilimenti, gli uffici e gli altri immobili della società e la piccola cittadina rurale si sarebbero tra loro fusi in un'unica città che sarebbe diventata la più popolosa dello stato del New Hampshire.
