Can you give me the correct spelling Of the
word Bediow in Bedlow or BedIoe's island Also,
whence II derived its name. AV.
Isaac Bedlow was its owner in the last half
of the Seventeenth century. He died in 1862
and his descendants quit the island In lbs
it was used as a quarantine station. A few
years later it passed into the hands of Archi-
bald Kennedy, admiral of the British navy,
who used it for a summer residence. In 1850
it was again a quarantine station, and little
later it was used as a military hospital by the
British, which the Americans burned during
the Revolutionary war. In 1874 the corpora
ton ceded the island TO the state of New
York, and in 1900 the state ceded it to the
federal government. In 1914 Fort Wood was
commenced there and completed inlS40 Hicks,
the pirate, was banged there, and the cotton
wood tree which served for q ga!lows was
blown down just before the pedestal for the
statue of Liberty began to rise.
