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]****
