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.

SYLVESTER MANOR
Vol 54, January 1900, p 59 - 61



At the northern part of the Island, and near the old Manor House of the SYLVESTERs, is a small family burial ground, containing in 1899, the table tomb recently erected, and a few ancient brown-stone stones. This is probably the oldest burial place on the Island. The graves stones of the members of the Sylvester family were removed to the church yard in the middle of the Island many years ago.

EASTHAMPTON
Vol 54, January 1900, p 61



Of the two peninsulas forming the eastern end of Long Island, one half the length of the longer, terminating in what is known as Montauk Point, constitutes, with Gardiner's Island to the eastward, the township of Easthampton. 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.



AMAGANSETT

The home of the whale fishers, Amagansett, the eastern village of the township, is within sound of the ocean surf at the great south beach, and three miles east of the principal settlement, Easthampton. Its wide main street is crossed by another, leading to the ocean, and at their junction is the old burying ground, containing in 1887, the following inscriptions antedating 1800.
