"race, ethnicity & class on shelter island, 1652-2013" by nancy jaicks, ph.d

Nancy Jaicks, PhD
"After chairing the research for the Race & Ethnicity Exhibit and book for the Shelter Island Historical Society in February 2014, I decided to do further research for a paper that was ultimately published in the Long Island History Journal. Some of my sources were interviews with Louise Tuthill Green, Linda Holmes, Karen Morgan, Ken Morgan, Vincent King, Linda King, Georgette Keyes-Grier and Rhonda Mitchell. My primary sources included: Baptism ledger and cemetery at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Toots Clark's memories, various newspapers, U.S. census 1900-1940, the Nicolls Cemetery at Mashomack Preserve, Shelter Island Historical Society, Suffolk County Historical Society, Eastville Historical Society, East Hampton Historical Society." ~Nancy Jaicks
