"The Cobblestone Houses of Upstate New York", compiled by Dorothy Wells Pease. Research done in collaboration with Hazed B. Jeffery, supplemented with material furnished by Carl F. Schmidt. Reference the sixth paragraph on page 11.
The Carl Schmidt book "Cobblestone Masonry" and the Roudabush Survey state surname Bettridge in the original owner name and street address; however, the correct spelling of Betteridge has been verified in both cases.
