so I'm leaving them to someone else ...
!

Brothers and the sale by the Marist Brothers to others?
Who designed the house Payne purchased for William C. and
Flora Payne Whitney on 57th street, now the site of Bulgari?
Who was the artist who designed and executed the frescoes
on the interior courtyard of the main house?
I located a quarry near the coal dock. Where were the other
quarries (numbering 4)?
Where was the barn which was shared by the Donaldson
brothers?
Can we trace the ownership of the New Paltz Patent from the
Donaldsons to the Gordons?
Do any pictures or portraits exist of Archibald & Helen
Russell, of Neidlander, of the Astor who owned the
Neidlander section of the property, of Durkee?
When did the Jesuits sell their property (called Manresa on
early maps) to Mother Cabrini?
When did the Irish Christian Brothers purchase the estate
from the Russells? Were there any intermediate owners?
Who was the grantor and the grantees of the Foxhall Patent?
(nb., There is a Foxhall Street in Kingston and one of the
wings of Kingston Hospital is called the Foxhall wing. There
was a famous park Vauxhall in London and Foxhall may be
the derived name meaning Vauxhall)

Why were the river or north lots of the New Paltz Patent so
large? (Hint. I am told there is information on this at the
New Paltz library.)

Where are the children of Ursula Burroughs Love? Do they
still own property along Riverby?
Did John Burroughs (1909-1958) ever marry? (He is listed in
the Social Security Death Index, but little info except dates
of birth and death.
Find the connection, if any, between Mary Wurts and the
organizers of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, William and
Maurice Wurts.
Attempt to find information on Russells, Hollands, and
Neidlingers in New York City sources.
Make the connection between the Livingstons, the Pells and
the Duanes..
Find a map of the subdivision of the New Paltz patents,
especially the three mile or river lots.
Find information on New Paltz, Kingston, Hurley,
Marbletown, Rochester and Foxhall patents.
Find a photo of the original greenhouse. I remember seeing
such a photo when I was a Junior in 1942-1945. Sean
