While working on his Eagle Scout restoration project at the Old Cutchogue Burying Ground early in July, 16-year-old Joseph DePinto discovered a headstone for two children who appear to be descendants of slaves. The incoming senior at Mattituck High School enlisted about a dozen friends and family members to help him restore 45 stone posts more than 200 years old that border the burial site. Credit: News 12
