• 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.” source: Transactions of the Bronx Society
