B is for Backus
The picture is of my great great grandfather Ascan Backus. He arrived in New York at the age of 14 in 1829. When he died in 1880 he owned the largest farm on Long Island. His farm was divided up and sold as lots for houses. It's now Forest Hills in Queens, New York. I've never been to New York, but someday.
