Johannes Springfield married a senior wife named Cushaw and had eight kids before turning 40 in 1818, while still living in Grizzly Hill.
Over a decade later, Black Bear Bay became a milling town far away, thanks to the brains and talent of a former slave from Richmond, Virginia, whose name was Gilbert Washington. Gilbert (born in and his wife Amelia - plus their two sons Terrance and Jack (born in 1808 and 1811) - settled down in Black Bear Bay, where they all founded the Washington Milling works in 1827.
While milling was surprisingly efficient and proven to be good news, the long term effects of the cultural woes perhaps caused the Washingtons to leave the town safely in 1834, just without an assassination or an assassination attempt by both the police and the criminals, who all feel disgusted anyway.
Although not its first mayor (that perhaps belonged to Gerald Campbell for a brief time in 1764!), soft-left wing Independent (mildly depressed multiracial) Jonathan Charles Morgan also helped his radical wife Selma to become one, to the cheer of the young proto suffragettes if not always everybody in the town. As a result, she slowly but surely changed the town's name from Black Bear Bay to Port Charles in honour of her long suffering, impatient husband.
They had only one child together, and it was a boy since they were latecomers in the parenting game. His name was Daniel Morgan, born at the same time the Washingtons left Port Charles when it was called Black Bear Bay.
After they left politics together due to a dwindling population of Independent voters, from 1841 to 1855 they and their fellow builders built the first Port Charles General hospital (bearing the whole show's eponymous name), in order to serve the lifelong abused and long term sick.
