Tombstone Tuesday- Southwick Memorial
Continuing with my research of my Quaker heritage and my 9th great grandparents Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick, I present for Tombstone Tuesday, a Memorial on Shelter Island. Unveiled on July 17th, 1884 on the Sylvester Manor house burial ground. The inscription reads:
"Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick, Despoiled, imprisoned, starved, whipped, banished, Who fled here to die".
"Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick, Despoiled, imprisoned, starved, whipped, banished, Who fled here to die".

Wow! I've never been to see this memorial. I love your photo of it! I wish I had seen this before I replied to your email inquiry today!
ReplyDeleteI am assuming public access? Been aware of but have yet to make the trip. Also my 9th great grandparents. Through the Gaskill line
