Charles Ward Apthorp (1726-1797), a wealthy landowner on Manhattan's West Side in the 18th century. He was the son of Charles Apthorp (1698-1758), a British-born merchant in 18th century Boston, and he remained a loyalist during the American revolution. As a consequence, his property in Maine and Massachusetts was confiscated after the war, but somehow his New York holdings remained in his possession. The "Apthorp Mansion," built around 1765, was located approximately between 90th and 91st Sts. and Columbus and Amsterdam Aves., where it stood until 1892.
