James H. Van Gelder, and Rebecca P. Van Gelder Real Estate Documents

There are some 30 documents in this collection, all with perhaps one or two exceptions being real estate documents such as deeds, mortgages and the like. Apparently most of the land described in these documents was located in the village of Pearsalls which later became known as Lynbrook. Perhaps land located elsewhere in Queens or Nassau County may be mentioned, but this was not ascertained.
