I love the history behind all the New England cemeteries, random monuments, as well as the quirky stories; I always found things like that so interesting and endearing! The way you tell the stories of long deceased people is just so sweet and respectful.

This island is in a pond that was part of the greater Boston water supply for MANY decades and was fenced off and off limits to the public. Water was offline for many decades and finally fences came down and access was allowed again. You can tell by the tree carving that people went anyways and many kids drowned here at night "illegally" swimming. Many many colorful stories about this area. TTOR started in this area.

It's interesting how almost all the sources have the stone saying "Here Shute Fell" rather than "Where Shute Fell." Being second or third hand accounts it's definitely understandable to get a detail like that slightly wrong, but still interesting that most of them err the same way. I suppose "Here Shute Fell" is the more natural wording on a marker like this.

What blows my mind is that if one of the more serious versions of the story is true (that is, if the rock is not a joke between friends, but a place where someone died), that means that the death of this Shute guy was important enough to warrant a monument, but for some reason no one wrote it down.

The duelling story seems most likely to me. It's a big rock to haul out that far for a (fairly feeble) joke. More something you'd do to try to commemorate a loss. The duelling story fits with the local history about it being used for illegal boxing. Although widely tolerated, duelling was also illegal, and many duels were held in places away from settlements, especially where the legal jurisdictions were unclear, so as to avoid legal repercussions. Islands in rivers and lakes were particularly popular sites. The exact same factors that made it a good place for a bareknuckle fight would have made it an appealing spot for a duel. 'Fell' is still a common euphemism for people being killed in combat, whereas if it was put up as a joke you'd expect something a little more obviously humorous.

Great work. and what luck you found a giving tree, giving you some Boston globe articles. Silver lake in Wilmington is known to be a mystery, growing up i heard it was created by an underground well that filled it up and now there is an old homestead underneath the surface, also a lot of people have passed away trying to swim across the pond, because there is some sort of suction located in the center of the pond. I recommend doing a video on that if you can find any information on it!

The jokes make more sense, yet it's hard to believe the stories where they get the inscription wrong are correct. As it being a marker for someone dying, that would seem right except that I can't imagine someone wouldn't have put a year on it if it marked a death. ... I wonder if there's an old granite quarry around that keeps its ancient sales records.

As a Shute descendant, I can tell you for a fact they were not Puritans. Quite the other. They were Anglicans when they ever showed up for Church. Better known for their mariner skills from Boston to trade with the pro-French Indians for furs in Canada or involved in the rum/slave trade in the Caribbean. The Shutes arrived in Boston by 1640 and once owned enough property on the North End that the present Battery alley used to be called Shute alley. By 1670 they owned a Caribbean house slave in Boston. No, the story is not pretty. They were 17th century bad boys in spades and I doubt the line improved over time. If you ever come up with a first name for the Shute in question I can probably tell you who he is.

I find it hard to believe that a family member would call Shute "Shute." Only friends giving one of their group a hard time would engrave it the way they did. Anyone showing respect would have engraved it differently. I would put up a stone like that if some drunk passed out on a camping trip and I wanted to mess with him. It is the only story that actually fits.

The artwork diagram of the monument at 11:17 wasn't very accurate, the letters are much smaller than on the real stone. I think if you can find a professor of history and archaeology you can get some answers about the style of carved lettering and when it would have been carved. And the age of the hole in the ground where the stone is sitting might also be able to be determined by the surrounding soil (radiocarbon dating). And the marks on the edge of the stone look like it was maybe quarried from somewhere so it should be possible to determine what the source of the stone, and what years the quarry was in operation.
