WICKHAM

The Wickham family has farmed in the Cutchogue area of Long Island for 300 years. I believe Parnel and Elizabeth Wickham may have been sisters. Apparently the Wickhams were prominent Loyalists during the War of the American Revolution.

Mattituck Presbyterian Church Cemetery

Here are some photographs taken at the Mattituck Presbyterian Church Cemetery on Main Road in Mattituck, New York. We were visiting my husband’s parents this last weekend and my father-in-law Howard Koehl graciously took me out into the freezing cold and snow to do some Graveyard Rabbiting. He informs me that the blue building you see in the background of the cemetery in a couple of the photos was the original church building and that it now serves as the home of the local repertory theater. I took as many photos and did as many transcriptions as I could until my hands started to freeze and my pen did not want to write any more.
