ere four children, Job Cushing, Jr., being the eldest. This son, Job, married Elizabeth, daughter of Jerome Lincoln. She was the twelfth of the fourteen children. They were my grandparents. My father, Samuel I. Cushing, was the son of this marriage. My Grandmother Cushing has told of her young brother, Isaiah. He was on the fishing schooner Nancy that started out on a risky voyage in September, 1814, but she was captured by the British. The captain and Isaiah Lincoln were taken to Halifax as prisoners of war. Because he would not fight against his country he was kept in prison, the British claiming that all who spoke English were British subjects. He died in prison, although he had a certificate of American citizenship signed by General Benjamin Lincoln. A copy of this certificate is in possession of the family. After the close of the Revolution many of the officers and soldiers who returned to their homes kept some of the habits of military drill in companies of militi

illiam Cushing was born during the fourteenth century. He was either the son or grandson of Galfridus Cushyn of Hardingham, Norfolk county, England, who is mentioned in the subsidy roll for Norfolk in 1327. He added to the original estates of Hardingham the estates of Hingham, and these were inherited by his son Thomas. Son Thomas was born in the latter part of the reign of Richard II, 1377-1399. A deed contains his name, dated 1466. His son William, eldest son and heir, lived in Hingham, England. His long and explicit will was dated 1492 and was proved in the Bishop's Court in 1493. In ancient deeds he is styled Gentleman. William's oldest son, John, also owned properties in Lombard street, London. He is called Gentleman in a survey of the manor of Flockshrop in Hardingham. He is mentioned in the subsidy rolls of Henry VIII. Thomas, second son of John, inherited the homestead. Peter, son of Thomas, moved to Hingham in 1600 and married Susan Hawes. The parish regis

was carried through. After a noon hour of social intercourse with refreshments, the afternoon service was held. Now there were living in Cohasset at this time two young men friends. One was Job Cushing; the other was Jerome Lincoln. They went to college together and they were both in the state militia. Job was the youngest son of Samuel, one of eleven children. Jerome was the grandson of the little boy Obidiah Lincoln who has been mentioned before. When the news of the battle of Concord reached Cohasset nearly every man in town, able to bear arms, was ready to spring into battle. The town voted to buy a hundred weight of gun powder and five hundred flints for the old flintlock guns, which had been used by the militia of the town, and also voted to provide a hiding place in the meeting house to store the same. My Revolutionary ancestor, Captain Job Cushing, was getting the militia into shape for marching as fast as it could be done. Among his company was Jerome Lincoln,

ere part of the motley crowd of sixteen thousand patriots bent on pushing the British army of ten thousand drilled troops out of Boston. Job Cushing was an active captain throughout the war, in the state forces. In 1781 he was commissioned major and had command of the Second Suffolk regiment. One of his lieutenants was Jerome Lincoln, whose name appears on the muster roll of Captain Cushing's company for two months service. He was next with Colonel Gratan's regiment and was stationed at Hull. Again we hear of him in the Jersey campaign, camping that dreadful winter, and he was in the battle of Morristown. Needed clothing was sent him by his family. Neither young man married until after the war. Jerome Lincoln married Elizabeth Lincoln and there were fourteen children. Jerome applied for a pension at the age of seventy-nine. Major Job Cushing married Abigail Pierce of Scituate. There were four children, Job Cushing, Jr., being the eldest.

ck as Weymouth, to these settlers. The land was divided between them. All cedar and pine swamp land was reserved on account of the timber and no man could sell his land without offering it first to the town. They soon learned how to raise Indian corn and planted grain and vegetables from foreign seed. Apple trees were set out and currant bushes planted. Their clothing was badly worn and their supply of money about exhausted, according to an old diary of the family. A grist mill at Weymouth was the nearest place to grind corn; it was a long, weary trail. Horses, cattle, sheep and goats had been brought from England. In 1638 the first selectman was appointed and at first it was hard to get the people to the town meetings until a fine of one peck of Indian corn was imposed on everyone who did not attend. There was a fish weir placed at the stream and it is still called Weir river. Plenty of fish was to be had, but the men who planted the weir were allowed to sell the fish fo

ing Compiled by Elizabeth Cushing Lincoln THE History of Hanover, 1853, says Few families in the country have been more celebrated than the Cushings, and probably no other has furnished more judges for our Probate, Municipal and Supreme Courts. In all the branches it has been highly respected, and it still maintains its ancient reputation. I quote now from another book, The Genealogy of the Cushing Family forms of itself almost a synopsis of the colonizing and early settlement of the New England States and the best and purest of its stock, the Puritans. We read as in a history, the mode of settlement, the organization of local and general officers for the regular administration, civil and military, of the affairs of the colonies and the origin of the causes which led to the struggle for independence. In the halls of the legislature, in the administration of the laws, and in all the religious controversies of the time in which they lived, the members of the family appear pre-emi
