There is a misconcept...I enjoy you blog very much.<br /><br />There is a misconception that Anna inherited Lyndhurst from her sister Helen, when in fact, she purchased it from Helen's estate.<br /><br />Helem Spehard had four adopted children who could not inherit any Gould money per Jay's will. So it makes sense that it was a purchase as a way to get those people some cash.<br /><br />I think this misconception originates from the folks at Lyndhurst but it is just plain incorrect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
