Foreword

    BELIEVING THAT the grandchildren of Orin Southwick, son of David, would be interested in this family record, I have compiled from the Genealogy of the Descendants of Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick, written by James M. Caller of Salem, Massachusetts, and Mrs. Maria A. Ober of Sciota, New York, and published in 1881, material relating to his line, including the record of each descendant. To this I have added information on members of the family in the eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh generations of my own line, and have inserted blank pages for the use of those who may be interested in making additions covering their own lines.

 

    The text relating to generations from one to seven, inclusive, is a reprint, verbatim and without corrections, from the above mentioned Southwick Genealogy, except such additional information as has been inserted in brackets. The numbers occurring before the names of members of Edward Southwick's line are those used in the Southwick Genealogy, and are included for purposes of reference. Material concerning the monument on Shelter Island has been kindly furnished by Mr. Ralph G. Duvall, the author of The History of Shelter Island.

Historical Extract

From South Coast Saunterings in England.

THERE was printed in the county of Hampshire a curious "Annual Repository," two volumes of which I have been enabled, through the kindness of a friend, to examine. These are records of the agricultural, social and religious condition of the various parishes in the county and many entertaining accounts of their antiquities. Of the latter, I was struck with the form of a conveyance by Henry I. (A.D. 1133) of land to Southwick Priory: "I will and firmly decree that the said canons, their officers and servants, shall have and hold all their possessions free and unmolested from shires and hundreds and all manner of suits, pleas and complaints and payments for murders and larcenies, from homsuchen and forest law, from scutage and hidage, gelds, denegelds and homgelds, assorts, assizes, dodande, saides, rummages, avepenny and hundred-penny, miskinnings and blodewyte." — M. D. CONWAY, Harper's Monthly, Vol. 39, page 344.

First Generation

1. LAWRENCE SOUTHWICK. There is a tradition in the Southwick family that Lawrence came from Lancashire, England, to America in 1627, and returned to England and brought his wife Cassandra and son John and daughter Mary to Massachusetts in 1630, on the May Flower in company with Wm. Bradford and others, and settled at Salem, Mass. We do not find any mention of his name in the public records of Salem until 1639, when he and his family were admitted as members in the First Church of Salem, and two acres of land was given him by the town of Salem to carry on the business of manufacturing glass and earthen ware. There is a tradition that he was one of the first to manufacture glass in America. This two acres of land was called glass-house field, as there were two others engaged in the same business, and the land is so designated today on the records and maps of said property, although the manufacture has long ceased to be carried on there. Said land is a valley running easterly from Aborn Street, and is on the south side of what is called Gallows Hill, where several persons were hung during the Salem Witchcraft delusion, a very dark page in the history of sectarian bigotry in Massachusetts.

Lawrence and wife Cassandra and son Josiah and daughter Mary were fined, whipt, imprisoned and finally banished for being Quakers, and their son Daniel and daughter Provided were sentenced by the General Court to be sold into slavery. (An attempt was made to carry this barbarous order into execution, but no shipmaster was found willing to convey them to the West Indies.) Lawrence and wife Cassandra went to Shelter Island, Long Island Sound, being banished under pain of death in 1659, and died there in the Spring of 1660 from privation and exposure; his wife died three days after him. [The following quotation is from one of Whittier's poems, which was inspired by this incident:

"So from his lost home to the darkening main Bodeful of storm, good Macy held his way, And when the green shore blended with the gray, His poor wife moaned, 'Let us turn back again.' 'Nay woman, weak of faith, kneel down' said he, 'And say thy prayers; the Lord Himself will steer, And led by Him nor man nor devils I fear.'"

"So the gray Southwicks from a rainy sea Saw, far and faint the loom of land and gave With feeble voices thanks for friendly ground Whereon to rest their weary feet, and found A peaceful deathbed and a quiet grave Where ocean walled, and wiser than his age, The Lord of Shelter scorned the bigot's rage."]¹

1 The History of Shelter Island, p. 26.

Their son Josiah went to Rhode Island and established a home for himself and family. He came back to Salem in 1660 to look after his parents' property and found the property in very poor condition, and was whipped for returning to Massachusetts. It seems incredible that any followers of Christ could have so belied their professions, but it was an illustration of the saying of Robert Pollock, in regard to the hypocrite,

"Who stole the livery of the Court of Heaven To serve the Devil in."

The Sylvester Monument on Shelter Island

On the Horsford estate, near the head of Gardiner's Creek, on the edge of a beautiful grove of forest trees, can be seen a monument that has been erected to the memory of Nathaniel Sylvester. On the marble slab, besides the Coat of Arms, appears the following fine tribute to Mr. Sylvester:

To Nathaniel Sylvester, First Resident Proprietor of the Manor of Shelter Island under grant of Charles II, A. D. 1666. An Englishman Intrepid, Faithful to Friendship, the soul of Integrity and Honor, Hospitable to Worth and Culture, Sheltering ever the Persecuted for Conscience sake, the Daughters of Mary and Phoebe Gardiner Horsford, Descendants of Patience, Daughter of Nathaniel Sylvester, and Wife of the Huguenot Benjamin L' Hommedieu, in Reverence and Affection for the good name of their Ancestor, in 1884 set up these stones for a memorial.

On the base of the monument, besides the Brinley Coat of Arms appears this record:

Thomas Brinley, Kings Auditor, married Anne Wase.

Nathaniel Sylvester Married Grissell Brinley

On the steps are the following names of Quakers, most of whom came here for protection:

Of the sufferings for conscience sake of Friends of Nathaniel Sylvester, most of whom sought shelter here including George Fox, Founder of the Society of Quakers, Mary Dyer, William Robinson, Marmaduke Stevenson and William Leddra who were executed on Boston Common ; Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick, Despoiled, Imprisoned, Starved, Whipped, Banished, who fled here to die; Daniel Gould, bound to the Gun Carriage and Lashed; Edward Wharton the much Scourged, Christopher Holder the Mutilated, Humphrey Norton the Branded, Giles Sylvester the Champion, Ralph Goldsmith the Ship Master, and Samuel Shattuck of the King's Missive these stones are a testimony.

The Puritan in his Pride, overcome by the Faith of the Quakers
gave Concord and Lexington and Bunker Hill to History.

The Blood and Spirit of Vitior and Vanquished alike, are the
Glory of Massachusetts.

This monument was unveiled on July 17, 1884, with appropriate ceremonies, in the presence of a large congregation of people. The grove where the monument stands has been named "Woodstock," that being the name of the ancestral home of the Brinleys in England.]

[Nature has done much to beautify a short section of the English River, where its waters fall over a series of ledges to another level some thirty feet below, and then flow on through a narrow picturesque chasm for a thousand feet or more, until they enter the meadow land at the Canadian Border and linger on their way to the St. Lawrence. It was here that Orin Southwick took his young wife Hannah to live shortly after their marriage in 1829. A large granite boulder some forty-five feet circumference and the old stone abutment of the sawmill which he built are there to mark the place. The boulders can be plainly seen from a point in the highway about half a mile north from Blackman's Corners in the Town of Mooers, Clinton County, New York. Two sons, Edward A. and Orin Frederick, were born here; the remainder of the family were born at the Orin Southwick Homestead, about one mile east from Blackman's Corners, in the Town of Mooers, at present owned by George Laventure, to which Orin and Hannah Southwick removed in the early thirties.]

Orin Southwick and wife Hannah (Stone) celebrated their golden wedding, May 10, 1879, at Mooers, N. Y. Their children, grandchildren and other relatives numbered about 79. They came from east, west and south; two sons from Minnesota, two sons from Massachusetts, with their families, and two sons who reside in Mooers, and one daughter, Mrs. R. Erwin.

Mr. Orin Southwick, although somewhat feeble and lame, retained his mental faculties as clear as ever, and his sound business qualities were esteemed by all who knew him. He was a man of temporate habits, and good morals. He, with his wife, resided with their son Horatio, who rendered to them all in his power for their comfort. They received from their children and others, many beautiful and valuable presents, and speeches were made giving thanks for the many happy years their parents had lived. After the speeches a bountiful table was ready for the guests, after which music was enjoyed, by the Mooers Cornet Band, and to wind up to part, all sang the Sweet Bye and Bye.

Hannah Stone's mother was the great granddaughter of Gen. Whitemore, who with his family (except Mary, whom he left behind), undertook a voyage to England, and were all lost at sea. He had previously secured a grant for the whole of the land on which now stands the city of Halifax, Novia Scotia, but he had the deeds of conveyance with him. Means were never taken by Mary or her descendants to secure their rights.

From "The Standard", Wells, Minn.

Mr. David Southwick died at Wells, Minn., Thursday, Sept. 8, 1870, at one A. M., of bilious fever, aged thirty-three years. He was one of our oldest and best citizens. Coming to this section of the State at twenty years of age, thirteen years ago, he settled at Freeborn, in Freeborn County, where he engaged in trade. Two years later, his brother, Frederick, came west and connected himself with him. They remained at Freeborn, building up a handsome village as well as an extensive business until this spring, when David connected with him two young men from the East, Messrs. Huntly and Terhune, and put in a large retail establishment at Wells.

Two weeks ago Mr. Southwick was in the best of health and exuberant spirits. To-day he is lifeless, his wife mourns the loss of a husband, his child a father, and the community in which he lived, one of its best citizens. The bereaved family have the heartfelt spmpathy of the entire community. About two years since, we announced his marriage in The Standard, and his union, we believe, proved a very happy one. It seems, therefore, a hard decree of fate that his young wife and child should be called, thus early, to mourn his loss.

Eleventh Generation

    DAVID CHARLES SOUTHWICK, son of Charles E. and Annie (Boulton), was born on January 15, 1931.  David is the only member of the eleventh generation bearing the Southwick name as this record goes to press.

Arthur Boulton and wife, grandparents of David, came to America from England in 1916 with the same Christian faith exemplified by the Southwick ancestors.
