It needs updating. Here is what I know so far. John Southwick (1625 - 1672) was married three times. His first wife was Sarah Burnap, married about 1642. His second wife was Ann UNKNOWN, married on 12 May 1668, and she was the widow of Thomas Flint. The third wife was Sarah Burnett, widow of Thomas Cooper, married on 3 February 1668/9 in Salem. I will update this post ASAP. <br />Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-14002960255893275802019-12-07T09:55:37.961-08:002019-12-07T09:55:37.961-08:00Please take a look at John Southwick's second ...Please take a look at John Southwick's second wife Hannah Flint. She married her first husband Thomas Flint in Salem 1645. Thus her name was not Hannah Flint daughter of William and Alice (Williams)Flint. William Flint and Alice Williams were married circa 1644 which would have made Hannah 1 year old at the time of her marriage to Thomas Flint. dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080181739321343923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-51098088394564166432012-03-12T19:16:13.085-07:002012-03-12T19:16:13.085-07:00As a history teacher I try to instill in students ...As a history teacher I try to instill in students that Puritans did NOT come for religious freedom. They wanted to worship their way but were persecuted in England. They then turned around and persecuted others in the New World. This is a very interesting post. I have some relatives who were punished for entertaining Quakers in their homes.Pam Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632946315151577636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-16467676745436211742012-03-11T07:47:25.185-07:002012-03-11T07:47:25.185-07:00Hi Kathleen!

Yes, I have written about other Salem Quakers and how they were persecuted by the Salem authorities, and also I recently wrote about an incident in Dover, NH involving several Quakers who were ordered to be whipped all the way to Rhode Island. The Puritans did NOT believe in religious freedom. They loathed the idea.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533717770805440813.post-38323588782120032982012-03-10T20:22:40.448-08:002012-03-10T20:22:40.448-08:00So the children didn't have to serve as slaves...So the children didn't have to serve as slaves right?

Many of my Rhode Island ancestors were driven out of Massachusetts due to their religious beliefs, but I always thought this was the saddest story. I understand there's a monument on Shelter Island to mark the place where the Southwicks died, but I've never been there. At any rate, how nice that we are both descended from these brave people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
