    Notes:

    The Poe Cottage stood in the northwest corner of a small tract of about one acre, almost triangular in shape, originally and from a very early date, part of the farm of Hendrick Ryer. Some time before 1822 John Berrian came into possession of this plot, for in that year he sells it to Jonas Farrington for $500.00. This undoubtedly included the house, which seems to have been standing in April of 1816, for in that year Hendrick Ryer, conveying the adjacent farm to his son, Henry Ryer, describes the boundary line as running “southwest along a ledge of rocks to land of John Berrian at a Cedar Bush at the point of rock, and thence along Berrian’s land back of the house to the stone on the road to Kingsbridge marked “L.”

    Notes:

    The largest sale of Bronx real estate which ever took place, involving a plot of 3,332 acres, or something over five square miles, to wit: the sale of the Manor of Fordham by the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in the City of New York, was inaugurated on September 29, 1753.

    On this date a notice was nailed on the door of the English Parish Church in the village of Westchester by Joost Vredenburgh. We know little about Vredenburgh, except that according to his affidavit he was a shoemaker. His two official companions were farmers, Hendrick Michaels, who spells his own name "Magiesle", and Benjamin Corsen. Michaels was the ancestor of the present Ryer family, well known in Bronx real estate, one of Hendrick Michaels' sons having been named Ryer and the succeeding generation having taken their father's first name instead of his last. The descendents of Benjamin Corsen are known by the name of Corsa and both families continued to be active in the Fordham Manor Church. Hendrick Ryer was an Elder and James Corsa was a Deacon in the year 1823.
