New York Mansion Tied to Revolutionary Hero’s Kin
An old New York home, once a fortified hilltop dwelling near the Fortam River, is now a modern apartment block. It is the granddaughter of a Revolutionary figure, Emma De Voe, who recalls Washington and Lafayette visiting. Her ancestor Andrew Corse aided raids around Kingsbridge and Morrisania as Loyalists split, with Corse guiding and advising Washington and Rochambeau.
