About Provided Southwick Gaskill
In 1658, Provided Southwick was arrested for being a Quaker and imprisoned in Salem, Massachusetts. She was only 18 years old. Her parents had already been jailed, impoverished through repeated fines and run out of town for being Quakers and not following the Puritan ways. She was sentenced to be sold into slavery to the English in the Barbados or Virginia because she had no money to pay her fine. Much later, John Greenleaf Whittier wrote a poem about Provided, but changed her first name to her mother's name, Cassandra, because he felt that Provided was not poetic enough. This is the poem written for Provided Southwick Gaskill, a Quaker Heroine.

CASSANDRA SOUTHWICK
Last night I saw the sunset melt through my prison bars,
Last night across my damp earth floor fell the pale gleam of stars:
In the coldness and the darkness all through the long night-time,
My grated casement whited with autumn's early rime....All night I sat unsleeping, for I knew that on the morrow
The ruler and the cruel priest would mock me in my sorrow.
Dragged to their place of market, and bargained for and sold,
Like a lamb before the shambles, like a heifer from the fold!Oh, the weakness of the flesh was there,- - the shrinking and the shame;
And the low voice of the Tempter like whispers to me came:
"Why sit'st thou thus forlornly," the wicked murmur said,
"Damp walls thy bower of beauty, cold earth thy maiden bed?"...And what a fate awaits thee!--A sadly toiling slave,
Dragging the slowly lengthening chain of bondage to the grave."
...I wrestled down the evil thoughts, and strove in silent prayer,
To feel, O Helper of the weak! That thou indeed were there...At length the heavy bolts fell back, my door was open cast,
And slowly at the sheriff's side, up the long street I passed.
I heard the murmur round me, and felt, but dared not see,
How, from every door and window, the people gazed on me...We paused at length, where at my feet the sunlit waters broke
On glaring reach of shining beach, and shining wall or rock;
The merchant ships lay idly there, in hard clear lines on high,
Tracing with rope and sender spar their network on the sky....Then to the stout sea-captains, the sheriff, turning, said,
"Which of ye, worthy seamen, will take this Quaker maid?
In the isle of fair Barbados, or on Virginia's shore,
You may sell her at a higher price than Indian girl or Moor."
Grim and silent stood the captains; and when again he cried,
"Speak out, my worthy seamen!"--no voice, no sign replied;
But I felt a hard hand press my own, and kind words met my ear,--
"God bless thee, and preserve thee, my gentle girl and dear!"A weight seemed lifted from my heart, a pitying friend was nigh,--
I felt it in his hard, rough hand, and saw i in his eye;
And when again the sheriff spoke, that voice so kind to me
, Growled back its stormy answer like the roaring of the sea,--"Pile my ship with bars of silver, pack with coins of Spanish gold,
From keel-piece up to deck plank, the roomage of her hold,
By the living God who made me!--I would sooner in your bay
Sink ship and crew and cargo, than bear this child away!""Well answered, worthy captain, shame on their cruel laws!"
Ran through the crowd in murmurs loud the people's just applause.
"Like the herdsman of Tekoa, in Israel of old,
Shall we see the poor and righteous again for silver sold?"I looked on Governor Endicott, with weapon half-way drawn,
Swept round the throng his lion glare of bitter hate and scorn;
Fiercely he drew his bridle rein, and turned in silence back,
And sneering priest and baffled clerk rode murmuring in his track.Hard after them the sheriff looked, in bitterness of soul;
Thrice smote his staff upon the ground, and crushed his parchment roll.
"Good friends," he said, "since both have fled, the ruler and the priest,
Judge ye, if from their further work I be not well released."Loud was the cheer which, full and clear, swept round the silent bay,
As with kind words and kinder looks he bade me go my way;
For God who turns the courses of the streamlet of the glen,
And the river of great waters, had turned the hearts of men.Thanksgiving to the Lord of Life! To God all praises be,
Who from the hands of evil men hath set his handmaid free.
All praise to God before whose power the mighty are afraid,
Who takes the crafty in the snare which for the poor is laid!------John Greenleaf Whittier

For those of you who don't have it:Massachusetts Records, vol. iv. p. 366: "Whereas Daniell and Provided Southwicke, sonne and daughter of Lawrence Southwicke, have binn fyned by the County Courts at Salem & Ipswich, Pretending they have no estates, resolving not to worke, and others likewise have binn fyned, & more like to be fyned, for siding wth the Quakers & ABSENTING THEMSELVES FROM THE public ordinances, in ans'r to a question, what course shall be taken for the sattisfaction of the fines, the Court, on perusall of the lawe, title Arrests, resolve, that the Treasurers of the sevrall countjes are and shall hereby be impowered to sell sajd persons to any of the English nation at Virginia or Barbados."
According to the Southwick Genealogy, by Caler and Ober, no ship's captain could be found willing to carry out the slavery order: "One master of a ship . . . in order to evade a compliance, pretended they would spoil the ship's company. Butler replied, 'No, you do not need to fear, for they are poor, harmless creatures that will not hurt anybody.' The master rejoined, 'Will you, then, offer to make slaves of such harmless creatures?' Disappointed in his designs, and with winter approaching, he sent them home to shift for themselves."

LAWRENCE1 AND CASSANDRA (BURNELL) SOUTHWICK
OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTSAn Exploration of Their English Antecedents,
With Notes on the Origins of Ananias' Conklin of Salem
and Southold, Long Island, and of William' Burnell of BostonBy John C. Brandon and Janet Ireland Delorey
Descendants of Lawrence[1]** and Cassandra Southwick, the well-known early Quaker family of Salem, Massachusetts, are indebted to Neal Southwick, who un-dertook a study of the Southwick family and published his findings in 1981. His research included the discovery of the marriage of Lawrence Southwick and Cassandra Burnell at Kingswinford, county Stafford, England, both of that par-ish, on 25 January 1623/4.1 His brief treatment of Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick included the English baptisms of some, but not all, of their children between 1625 and 1637.[2]****
**[1] Neal S. Southwick, The English Ancestry and American Posterity of Joseph Southwick /703-/980(Rexburg, Idaho, 1981), 12.
****[2] The child Josiah, bp. at Kingswinford on 20 March 1628/9, was omitted in his list.
Cassandra Burnell Southwick (c. 1600-1660) was an early immigrant to the American colonies and a devout Quaker (member of the Religious Society of Friends), who was persecuted for her beliefs.
Cassandra Burnell was the daughter of Humphrey and Margaret Burnell. She was born in Kingswinford, Staffordshire, England. She married Lawrence Southwick on 25 January 1623/4 in Kingswinford. They migrated to America around 1637-1639 with four of their six children. They settled in Salem, Massachusetts. They were continually persecuted by the Puritans and eventually escaped to Shelter Island, New York.
In 1657 the Southwicks were put in jail for hosting two visiting Quaker preachers, John Copeland and Christopher Holder. Lawrence Southwick was found to be a member of the First Church of Salem and was released to be dealt with by the leaders of that church. Cassandra remained in jail for seven weeks and was fined forty shillings for possessing a paper written by their two visitors. The paper was considered heretical by Governor John Endicott and others.
In 1658 the Southwicks and their son Josiah were put in jail for twenty weeks for being Quakers.
In 1659, two of the Southwick children, a daughter named Provided and a son named Daniel, were sentenced to be sold as slaves in the Barbadoes for unpaid fines--fines related to their being Quakers. The sentence was not carried out, however. The entire family went to Shelter Island, New York together.
The story of the Southwick children is told dramatically--though not completely accurately--in a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier entitled "Cassandra Southwick." He used the mother's name in place of the daughter's and did not mention the son at all. Nevertheless, his poem preserves for posterity a bit of the history of persecution by the Puritans in Massachusetts.
In 1660 Lawrence and his wife Cassandra died within three days of each other on Shelter Island.
They have thousands of living descendants in the United States today. Among their descendants were Winston Churchill and Richard Nixon.

Sloan Grabiel joined the UPCh. Northwood Ohio on the profession of faith on 11 Oct 1873, when he was 18 years old .He was dismissed from this Church after his marriage and joined the UPCh. Bellefontaine on certificate 26 jun 1875. So long as they remained in Ohio, Emma and SLoan lived in Rushcreek Township, Logan County(north of Bellefontaine), principally at or near Rushsylvania, though they appear to have lived in Huntsville for a short while 1877-78. As a young man Sloan attended Geneva College at Northwood in preparation for becoming a minister, but when he attained that goal I have been unable to determine. It is clear that he did become an ordained minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian Chjurch. Thopugh his Obituary states thtat he was ordained in 1897, that appears to be an error, for an item in The Dunklin Democrat (Kennet Missouri) for feb 22 1894 reads: "The Cumberland Presbyterians had preaching here Sunday by their pastor, Rev. Grsbiel." For thirty years he served various pastorates in the West Prairie Presbytery, during wich time he attended many meetings of that Presbytery and was a principal delegate to the National General Assembly and Convention of that denomination held at Bowling Green Ky 1913. To earn his livelihood while in ohio , Sloan at times engagedmin the furniture and undertaking businesses and eventually, became a lumberman. In 1888 he became Prtner in the Day Saw Mill in Ruahsylvania. On 16 May 1889 J. S. Grabiel and Sarah E. , his wife, sold the land on which they lived near Rushsylvania. Five daya later , on 21 May 1889, Sloan , his wife, and five chidren , left Ohio for Arkansas , ehere timber was a thriving industry. They settled in or near St. Francis , in northeastern Ark. where the \st. Francis River forms the boundary between ark. and Missouri . St. Francis is is on the west bank of the river, directly opposite Union Township, Dunklin County Mo..on the east bank. It appears that the Grabiels lived in or near St. Francis, Eastern Clay Couunty Ark., at least from mid-1890 to mid-1897. John Harrison Grabiel, their tenth child, was born at St. Francis 27 July 1890. There are no records of the eleventh child born on 27 Nov.1894. Ten months after Emma's death, J. S. Grabiel married Ida Dorcas (Whitesides) Benson. In his application for marrage license he stated that he was "of Union Township, Dunklin County,Mo." but the marriage license itself, issued in Eastern District of Clay County Ark., said he was "of St. Francis , Ark.." He and Ida were married at St. Francis. On 21 /july 1896 "J.S. Grabiel and Ida D., his wife " executed a deed settling his father's estate in Logan County Ohio, which they acknowledged in Clay County Ark. At least by June 4 1897 J.S. Grabiel was living in Union Township three miles south of Campbell Mo. Nevertheless, the first child born od his marrage to Ida, Ralph Hershel, was born 13 July 1898 at St. Francis Ak., died there 7 Aug 1898, and is buried in Grave Hill Cemetery, near St. Francis. In Nov. of that year J.S. Grabiel was elected a Justice of the Peace for Umion Township Mo. on the Republican ticket. However he stated that he did not think he could qualify as his bussiness was in Gibson ( only four miles to the southeast , but in Holcomb Township ) and he was about to mov3e there. When Gibson was incorparated in 1902, J.S. Grabiel was a member of the first Board of Trustees. In Jun 1903 he bought a 100 acre farm 3/4 mile west of Gibson and in July 1904 he built a house in Gibson at a cost of $1000.00. On 1 Nov. 1904 he apppears as President od the newly organized peoples Bank ofr Holcomb Mo.(three miles south of Gibson). In Apr 1908 he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for the State Senator, but he did not win the nomination. In Aug. 1909 he sold his home place in Gibson and moved to Campbell mo., where he lived until 1930. In 1913 he was Alderman from the 2nd. Ward of Campbell and a member of the School Board. While he lived in Missouri he was a manager of several different cotton gins and a partner in a saw mill and shingle bussiness. He was a trader in cotton, as well as being engaged in many other enterprises,including being an agent for lands in Drew County Ar. and a realtor. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and the odd Fellows and was an active member of the republican party. After Ida's death he returned to his farm near Gibson and lived there with his daughter Edith Stearns until he died. He is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery,Campbell, alongside his second wife , Ida.
John Sloan Grabiel's father, aaron Grabiel, was the youngest of thirteen chilsdren of John andMay (Haas) Grabiel, both of German descent, who came to Ohio from Virginia in 1815. Aaron 's older brothers, John and Jacob, purchased 508 acres of
land in Rushcreek Township , Logan county ohio in 1846, Aaron followed them ther.; He married Susannah Day, who died 28 March 1878 at her home near Rushsylvania, in her 46th. year, survived by hewr husband and two children, J. Sloan and
Renwick P Grabiel.Sloan Grabiel joined the UPCh. Northwood Ohio on the profession of faith on 11 Oct 1873, when he was 18 years old .He was dismissed from this Church after his marriage and joined the UPCh. Bellefontaine on certificate 26 jun
