Recent in depth historical research with concrete evidence has found absolutely zero information to support this claim. Actual historical evidence proves that it is not on the 1869 topographical map of the area, is not on the 1886 Sanborn fire insurance map, and doesn't show up until 1891 in the c ...

The '76 House, also known as the ''Old '76 House'', is a Colonial-era structure built as a home and tavern in Tappan, New York, in 1754 by Casparus Mabie, a merchant and tavern-keeper. History Origin In spite of local claims of much earlier construction (dating to founding of Tappan in 1686), the '76 House appears only to predate the American Revolution by several decades. The earliest confirmed dates concerning any structure on or near the site involve one Antie Myers, a widow, who was licensed in 1705 to sell drink, "as per her recognizance," in her house in the immediate neighborhood of today's '76 House. After her death around 1721 her home was purchased by Yoast Mabie, a brother of Casparus. The house was demolished in 1835. In 1753, Casparus Mabie bought a piece of land from Cornelis Myers, Antie's son. The following year he built a house on this lot on what was to become Main Street in Tappan. He included space for a tavern, probably no more than a few tables and benches ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
