[Transcriber's note:-- In order to transcribe more data for use, I am extracting the names, dates, ages, etc., & omitting the "In Memory of", and other non-essential verbage. If anyone wants an entire inscription, I would be happy to make that available. Years, Months & Days have been shortened to yrs, mos, dys and dates have been adapted to the day - month - year format. . Surnames have been capitalized to make them easier to spot. No genealogical data has been omitted. For example, an inscription that original read "Here Lyeth Ye Body of Captain Onessimus Tallmage Who Departed This Life Febreury Ye 1st 1722 Aged 61 yrs, 1 Month and Six Days" is transcribed as "Captain Onessimus TALLMAGE, d. 1 Feb 1722, age 61 yrs, 1 mo, 6 dys" -- jd]

SHELTER ISLAND Vol 54, January 1900, p 54 - 58 Shelter Island, situated in the waterway between the two eastern peninsulas of Long Island, and equidistant from the towns of Southold & Easthampton, is of very irregular shape, with an extreme length in one direction of about six miles, and in the other of about four. Formerly belonging to Southold, in 1730, it was incorporated as a separate township. The SYLVESTERs were, for a time, its sole owners, parting with portions in 1695 to William NICHOLL & George HAVENS. The burial ground from which these inscriptions were taken is near the geographical centre of the island. It is in two parts, the larger being on the south side of the road, and opposite the Presbyterian church edifice, while the smaller is in the rear of that building, and on the north side of the road. All epitaphs of date prior to 1800, which were found the in August, 1881, are here printed. A small private ground of the NICHOLL Family, about three miles to the south, contained in 1883 no old inscriptions.

From west to east this main portion of the town is twenty-three miles in length, it's south side being an unbroken, straight stretch of beach, pounded unceasingly by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. More than twelve miles of the easterly end consists of only a range of low sand hills, averging hardly a mile in width, and containing no villages. Just west of this the land abruptly widens to six miles or more, the northern line broken by deep harbors from Gardiner's Bay. Within this wider portion of the township lied the principal villages, Amagansett, Easthampton & Wainscott.
