Orphaned references in Beechwood (Vanderlip mansion)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Beechwood (Vanderlip mansion)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "1952history": From Scarborough Historic District:  From Briarcliff Manor, New York:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:24, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Property Transferred to Matthias or Pierson?
The first paragraph under the History section says:

"Benjamin and Ann Folger were among the earliest residents, and named their residence "Heartt Place". In the 1830s, Folger deeded the estate to a self-proclaimed prophet, Robert Matthews, who believed himself to be the resurrected Matthias of the New Testament.[8](p18)"

The attribution is

"8. Cheever, Mary (1990). The Changing Landscape: A History of Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough. West Kennebunk, Maine: Phoenix Publishing. ISBN 0-914659-49-9. LCCN 90045613. OCLC 22274920. OL 1884671M."

However, The Kingdom of Matthias by Paul E. Johnson and Sean Wilentz on pages 121-122 claims that

"...Folger would transfer Heartt Place to Elijah Pierson...Pierson then immediately leased the property to Matthias for nintey-nine years, at a rent of one dollar a year."

Along with Ben Folger, Elijah Pierson was a member of Matthias' cult. He was the person Matthias was accused of murdering. The book offers the following citation:

"Westchester County Registry of Deeds, Deedbook 53-368, microfilm, SLC."

Because I'm not too familiar with Wikipedia and I have don't know what should be done here, I'm just writing this talk section so that someone who knows what they're doing can hopefully resolve this.
