. A history of old Kinderhook from aboriginal days to the present time;. stingfamily of boys and girls. Among these was the Hon. JudgeSanford W. Smith. In the old Francis Pruyn homestead,then owned by Henry Snyder, more recently by Andrew andEdward Van Buren, then by Mr. Datus C. Smith, and nowby Mr. Davie, lived Aaron Coons.

As we cross the bridges the shallow water on the rightreveals the old fording place. Beyond the bridges on thecrest of the hill were the terraced grounds and attractivehome of the late E. G. Howard.
