Meet Pierre Fauconnier of Tours, and London. Settled in New Rochelle,Ny- French Hugenot colony. Buys big tract of land in Dutchess county along the Hudson River. It ends up later as Hyde Park. Hmm. Does this make me a New Yorker?   New Rochelle seacoast…..Ile de Re-ish?

okay here is a cool weird thing. See those stones rimming the picture? They're diamonds, and they match exactly in the style of cut and shape a pair of earrings I inherited from my great grandmother.
