William C. Endicott in his book, Memoir of Samuel Endicott, states: "Family tradition handed down by William Putnam Endicott (1803-1888), who knew his grandmother Elizabeth Jacobs Endicott, who knew people who knew Governor Endecott and his sons John and Zerubbabel, says that Zerubbabel Endecott, his first wife Mary Smith and their three young children are buried within this enclosure" from FIND A GRAVE: Mary Smith Endecott (1636-1677) - Find a Grave Memorial
John Greenleaf Whitter's poem "Cassandra Southwick" – while it bears, for reasons known only to the poet, her mother's given name rather than her own – in fact tells with reasonable accuracy the tale of Quaker Provided Southwick and her younger brother Daniel, whom puritan governor John Endecott of Massachusetts Bay attempted to send into slavery in Virginia or Barbados. Endecott's vindictive sentence, part of his wider punitive effort to banish or even exterminate the Quaker faith – as further witnessed by his lethal banishment of the senior Southwicks and the hanging of several Quakers, including Mary (Barrett) Dyer in 1660 – was thwarted only because he could find no ship's captain willing to become an accessory to the scheme.
The surname Southwick is of English origin, meaning "southern farmstead or village," and is derived from Old English elements describing a settlement in the south.

In Scotland, the surname was first found in Kirkcudbrightshire, part of present-day Dumfries and Galloway, where the family held estates from ancient times, possibly before the Norman Conquest of 1066 HouseofNames.

From A Brief history of Chatham Morris County, New Jersey by Charles A. Philhower - pg. 21.
After the battle of Springfield, General Washington on his return to Morristown sent word ahead to Mrs. Stephen Day (2nd wife of Captain Stephen DAY) that he would stop off to see her on his way through Chatham. Accordingly, Mrs. Day dressed herself in a fine black silk gown with a large white scarf about her neck and awaited the coming of her distinguished visitor. A small mahogany table
(Not the Caldwell attack.) Battle of Long Island, an 1858 painting by Alonzo Chappel
was placed on the lawn in front of the house, and a pleasing repast was prepared for the General. The call was made and heartfelt words of sympathy were extended to Mrs. Day in behalf of the horrible murder of her sisterHannah (Ogden) Caldwellat Connecticut Farms. Much appreciation was shown by the General for her hospitality and often afterword's it is said the Washington called at the Day Mansion. Captain Stephen Day, the husband of Mrs. Jeremiah Ogden Day was on of the staunchest patriots. He was justice of the peace under both the British and Continental rule, served in the army, and was on of the first to aid the Continentals when requisitions for supplies were made. It is said the he gave a whole beef when the first call was issued.

Bornabout inNewark, Essex, New JerseySon of Joseph Day and Hannah Sargeant Day. Stephen Day commanded a company under Colonel Ford, Eastern Battalion, Morris County, New Jersey Militia, at the Battle of Springfield, Union Co., New Jersey, June 23, 1780. This was one of the last major engagement of the Revolutionary War in the North and it effectively put an end to the British "ambitions" in New Jersey. General Washington praised the New Jersey Militia in this battle, writing later, "They flew to arms universally and acted with a spirit equal to anything I have seen in the course of the war."

Pvt John Craig, who died in World War 1.
JohnCraig was my 1st cousin twice removed sharing with him grandparents John Craig b. 1834 and Mary McQuillan b.1835. John was born on 26 April 1892 in Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland. He was a Private in WW1 and died in battle of Flanders Belgium on 31 Mar 1917, age 25 and buried in Aix-Noulette Communal Cemetery Extension Aix-Noulette , Departement du Pas-de-Calais , Nord-Pas-de-Calais , France. He was in D Company, 2nd Battalion, Leinster Regiment. And the son of Patrick and Agnes Craig, of 22 Lady St., Cullingtree Rd., Belfast.
His father and mother received pension after his death. They are listed on the pension.
From the marriage records the spelling of their father’s name, George, was a major clue. Until I realized this Sarah’s last name looked to me to start with an S and spelt something like, Suchel or Siskil. But once I saw the similarity from the G in George to the first letter of Suchel/ Siskel I realized my search was for something more like Guchel of Giskil. From there I searched the family trees of the people related to me through DNA looking for our common surnames. In this case the surname was GASKILL. Then I looked to see if the surname we shared linked us through common ancestors and especially Gaskill. That was how I found Sarah Ann Gaskill.
Sarah Ann Gaskill, called Sally, was born in 1822 to Job Gaskill 1772-1847 and Mary Scroggy 1786-1872. She married George Day 1818-c1874. They had about 13 children.
I have for years been trying to decipher the signatures on two documents for the maiden name of an ancestor, Sarah Ann Day. And I can't seem to come up what the exact name for her. Sarah's last name is on two of her sons' marriage records though not recognizable.
It is spelled something like Sutsil on her son John's marriage record. (right below)
This images is on Sarah's son IRA's marriage record.
I have tried all of these: Suchel, Suchal, Sushel, Sichel or even Gutsil, Gushel and a few more. GASKILL is my latest search which so far is the only name that shows up in other people's family trees that I have a small connection with. Yet I have no direct DNA, one on one, with anyone.
AND, both documents seem to be filled out by the same person back in the 1880s.

Her research suggests that the Day family may have been part of the "poor" side of the family, which often resulted in fewer preserved records due to limited documentation.
