Elizabeth Blackwell had 4 brothers and 4 sisters, which means that Mr. Samuel Blackwell and Mrs. Hannah Blackwell had 9 living children. There were other children, 6 sisters and 2 brothers, who died while Elizabeth was growing up. In the 1800's it was normal to have large families.

The 9 living children were: Anna, Marian, Elizabeth, Samuel Charles, Henry Browne, Emily, Sarah, John, and George Washington.

Elizabeth Blackwell never married. She adopted a child, Katherine "Kitty" Barry, in 1856. Kitty was Elizabeth's companion for the rest of her life.
