land on Long Island to Cornelius Vanderbilt before they left New York in 1783

developing the land for house for the booming metropolis of New York. All but
one of the Vandine families returned to New York before 1800. This is the story
of that family, Arthur Vandine and his wife Rachel Stone of Queens and Sunbury
