Wonderful Popham Estate Holds Washington Relic and Burr Tale
A Scarsdale residence built in 1785 by Major William Popham hosts antiques including a Washington dinner plate gifted by Lafayette. The article recounts Popham family history, links to Hamilton and Burr, and a curious tale of Burr awakening to a ghostly Hamilton bust before Theodosia’s death news arrives. The narrative ends with a note that more continues on page four.
