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".
