Henry Van Der Lyn or Henry Vanderlyn ''(hen'ree văn'durlin)'' (April 24, 1784 – October 1, 1865) was a 19th-century American lawyer, from Oxford, New York. ==Bibliography== Henry Vanderlyn was the grandson of Pieter Vanderlyn (c.1687–1778) an American colonial painter born in Holland who settled in Kingston, New York. Henry was the brother of John Vanderlyn (1775–1852) a well known Neoclassical painter. Henry Vanderlyn is one of the most engaging individuals in Oxford, New York's history. He moved to (Oxford ) in 1806 and established a law practice after earning his Bachelor's degree at Union College and serving in a New York City law office where he was admitted to the Bar association. Vanderlyn was a very popular person in Oxford for his genial personality and his generous support of the Oxford Academy School. He made daily notes on life in Oxford and kept a diary of local and personal events. This diary is a window into the formative years in Chenango County, New York during the first half of the 19th century. One of the (Oxford Historical Society (OHS) ) museum's most prized items is a set of six volumes of these diaries covering the years 1827-1853. The original hand written diary is in the New York State Historical Society. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Van Der Lyn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
