BiographyThe kitchen step of his mansion was known to be the slab of marble that was originally the base of the statue of King George III at the Bowling Green in New York. After the statue had been torn down, the slab had been reused as the gravestone of a Major John Smith of the Royal Highlands Regiment. In 1874, Van Vorst donated the stone to the New York Historical Society.[3] References1. ^{{cite book | last=Winfield | first=Charles | year=1874 | publisher=Kennard & Hay Stationery M'fg and Print.
