These pictures are amazing!
would love to know the dates!
Wish you had some of the Berrians!
Thank you!Thanks! We were able to get the gist of it, especially after driving around for almost an hour looking for a spot to park!!! Once inside the park, we knew where the Hudson was in relation to the house, but with so many tress, you couldn’t see it!
I visited the Historical Society yesterday and learned the exact location of where the house stood, thanks to Nick!!! Great meeting you, Nick!!!
We then went to the park and saw, first hand, where the house was! That was very moving. I did some more ancestry research over the past day and learned that my 6th great grandfather, Cornelius Berrian, Jr., was this Samuel Berrian’s brother.I’m guessing we’ll never know, will we…unless we find more pictures of the house before it was demolished. In my photo, you can see a building next door. That is also a good clue!
I know the house was renovated with Victorian touches. That could explain the decorative touches meet the toof. As far as the posts, it could be the angle or a reversed image. My dad was a baseball player and I have one photo that portrays him as batting as a lefty and he was a righty.
That’s a great photo, Thomas! Thank you!
It would be something if that was him! The age would be right, but can’t really tell from the profile! I only have one picture of him and it’s from around 1880. I will share it. Many generations, including my grandfather, lived in a house at 2129 Glebe Ave. That house is gone now, too. Getting back to the picture I added, do we all concur its the Berrian-Johnson house he is standing in front of?Hi!
Thank you!
I don’t have any info about when the picture was taken. Your guess seems very accurate! He was born in 1871 which would put him at 54 in 1925. The Snedeker family were horse people. He was a horse trainer. His father, Evert Van Wicklen Snedeker(who married Susan Berrian), was a famous horse owner and trainer. His father died in 1899 after he suffered a heart attack at the Morris Park Racecourse . They both went by the nickname Eph.I have a picture of my great great uncle, Every Berrian Snedeker standing on the steps of the house in the early 1900’s. How can I post it?
