Richard B. Duyckinck

E-mail excerpt from Mary Sarah Bradley to Doug and Franklin Bradley, June 26, 1999:

Quote from a NYG&B publication, regarding Evert Duyckinck (Adaline Veldran DW's side of the family--my red leather box was made by William Veldran for his fiancée, Margaretta Gaston Duyckinck): "He is buried in the graveyard at Tarrytown, beside the old church of Sleepy Hollow. The spot was selected by himself and his brother long ago, as a place of family burial, on account of its loveliness of situation, its quaint surroundings, and the associations which have been woven about it by the master hand of Irving, whose grave is near his own."
