David Jerome Sands, born in 1814 in Chappaqua, was graduated from the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University in 1840. His obstetrical practice was in Port Chester, and he maintained a record of the births he attended during the first 12 years of his practice. It is a rare example of 19th-century medical history in Westchester County. The record book notes the parents’ names, residence, sex and name of the child, and remarks concerning the delivery. Dr. Sands continued his practice in Port Chester until his death in 1888.
