Notes for JOSIAH SOUTHWICK:
WHIPPINGS OF JOSIAH SOUTHWICK

      Josiah Southwick, the son of Lawrence and 
Casandra, also went to
Shelter Island when he was banished in 1659. Two
 years later he returned with Joshua Buffum and was 
discovered in Boston
and taken into custody. He was kept in the Boston
 jail nine weeks; the court of assistants on Sept 9, 
1661 ordered that
he be tied to a cart's tail, stripped to the waist, 
and
 whipped out of Boston with ten stripes, and then with 
ten stripes
through Roxbury, and then to be delivered to the 
constables
 of Dedham, who were ordered to whip him ten stripes 
out of the
jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Colony. Southwick 
said
 to the court: "Here is my body; if you want a further 
testimony to the
truth I profess, take it and tear it to pieces; your
 sentence is no more terrifying to me than if you had 
taken a feather
and blown it in the air." He was whipped not with the
 whip cord, as in England, but with dried intestines 
of animals, and
with three knots at the end, which the constable laid 
on
 with both hands, producing most violent torture. 
Southwick received 26
miles of whipping and punishment that day, and then
 the constable left him in the wilderness 15 miles 
from any town. His
back was plowed, and his flesh torn and beaten.
 Fortunately, some friends had followed and assisted 
him to his home,
more than 35 miles that night, making in all more than
 60 miles of travel, more than likely, without food or 
drink. His
friends had one horse between them, and he undoubtedly
 rode on horseback in the night.
