CUSHING (CUSHAN ; CUSHEN ; CUSHYN).
1. MATTHEW, with his w. and five ch., came from Hing. in Old Eng., and settled in Hing. in New Eng., in the autumn of 1638. According to a memorandum kept by one of the fam., they came to Boston in the ship "Diligent," John Martin, master, arriving on the 10th of Aug. of that yr. Matthew, however, had sev. lots granted him prior to his arrival here. The lot upon which he built his dw .- house, first below Pear Tree Hill, was among those granted for build- ing purposes on Bachelor (Main) St. in 1638, and it continued in the fam. possession until 1887. The history of the Cushing fam. is traceable in Eng. for sev. generations before either Pilgrim or Pu-
ritan set sail for America. A Thomas Cushing owned land in Hing. and other parts of Eng., early in the fifteenth century. Wil- liam, the oldest s. of Thomas, commenced his will of 1492 as foll. : - " In the name of god Amen, The xx Day of the moneth of Septembr, in the yere of of lord god M'eccelxxxxij, I William Cusshyn of Henghm in my hoel mend And good memory beying, make my testa- ment and my last will Declare in this forme Folloyng; " etc. John, s. of William, made his will in 1522. Thomas, s. of John, d. in 1588. Peter, s. of Thomas, was buried at Hing. Eng., 2 March, 1596; he was the fa. of eight ch., five sons and three dau's. Of the sons of Peter, Theophilus and Matthew emigrated to New Eng. Theophilus came in 1633, in the ship " Griffin," and resided sev. yrs. at Haynes farm. He afts. settled in our Hing. ; was blind during the last twenty-five yrs. of his life, and d. 24 March, 1678-79, æt. nearly 100 yrs. There is no rec. showing that he had a fam. With Matthew, therefore, the genealogical rec. of all the persons bearing the surname Cushing in Hing. and vicinity, and perhaps in the United States, commences. The w. of Matthew, whom he m. in Eng. 1613, was Nazareth Pitcher, a dau. of Henry Pitcher. She d. in Hing. 6 Jan. 1681-82, æt. 96 yrs. Matthew d. 30 Sept. 1660, æt. 71 yrs. He was early engaged in the public affairs of the town; was deacon of the church, and the pro- genitor of many eminent descendants. His will, which was a verbal one, was written out after his decease by his ch., who, under date of 15 Nov. 1660, pray that Daniel Cushing, Esqr., their oldest bro. may be appointed administrator of their fa.'s est. Resided on Main St., below "Pear Tree Hill." The ch., of Matthew and Nazareth, all b. in Eng., were -

2. DANIEL? (Matthew 1), bt. in Hing. Eng., Apr. 20, 1619. m. first, Jan. 19, 1645, Lydia Gilman, dau. of Edward and Mary (Clark) Gilman. She was b. in Eng. and d. in Hing. Mass., 12 March, 1688-89. He m. secondly, March 23, 1690-91, Mrs. Elizabeth (Jacob) Thaxter, wid. of Capt. John Thaxter, and dau. of Nicholas and Mary Jacob. She was b. in Eng. 1632, and d. in Hing. 24 Nov. 1725, æt. 93 yrs. Daniel d. 3 Dec. 1700, æt. 81 yrs. He was an active business man, sagacious and thorough in whatever he undertook ; a magistrate of more than ordinary ability ; selectman 1665, and for many yrs. after ; town clerk from 1669 until the time of his decease ; delegate to the General Court in 1680, 1682, and 1695, and a man of influence and power in the com- munity. It is to him more than to any of his contemporaries that the present generation is indebted for much of the valuable information which has come down to us relating to the early planters of this town. He accumulated a large property for the period in which he lived, and his will, dated 11 Sept. 1693, proved 18 Feb. 1700-1, covers sev. pages of MS., in the S. P. rec's. Resided on the paternal home- stead, Main St., below " Pear Tree Hill."
