Provided Southwick Gaskill is 9 Degrees from The Day Family

 

Provided Southwick and her brother Daniel puritan governor John Endecott of Massachusetts Bay attempted to send into slavery in Virginia

Provided Southwick Gaskill was born at Salem, Massachusetts Bay, in December of 1641, a daughter of Lawrence Southwick and Cassandra (Burnell) Southwick; she married Samuel Gaskill at Salem on the penultimate day of 1662.

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.

Dutch presence began with Henry Hudson's 1609 voyage of exploration. Dutch control ended on 27 August 1664, when governor Peter Stuyvesant surrendered to invading English forces of the Duke of York (Articles of Capitulation), but the Dutch maintained significant autonomy in New Netherland until 24 October 1674, when the Treaty of Westminster stipulated all Anglo-Dutch hostilities were to end. However, the Dutch-dominated culture of New Netherland continued to characterize the region (the New York Capital District, Hudson Valley, New York City, western Long Island and northern New Jersey) until well into the 19th century.
