  Notes	[In "Three Hundred Years ...." and the 1860 and 1870 censuses, she is referred to as Henrietta. However, from the 1880 censuses onward, Henrietta's name no longer appears, and instead she seems to have been referred to as Elizabeth. In the 1900 census, her mother is recorded as having had three children, all of whom were still living. It is therefore unlikely that there was a separate fourth child.] [Elizabeth's or Henrietta's middle initial varies from record to record, and I have therefore not included them here.]

  	Both John B. Raynor and his wife Elizabeth were recorded as residents in 1920. In 1930, Elizabeth was a resident, John was not. William Henry Webb (19 June 1816-30 October 1899) was a 19th-century New York shipbuilder and philanthropist, who has been called America's first true naval architect. In 1894 he built the Webb Academy and Home for Shipbuilders, and provided an endowment for its running estimated at $2,000,000. The main purpose of the Academy was in the words of its charter to "furnish gratuitous education in the art, science and profession of shipbuilding". Tuition for the students, who were carefully selected on the basis of aptitude and lack of means, was free. The facility also provided a free home to old shipbuilders, including a number of Webb's own former employees. By 1899 the Academy was providing facilities to about 400 students and retirees. The Academy is known today as the Webb Institute. (Wikipedia.org)
