INTRODUCTION To MY READERS : A much better understanding of the purpose and intent of tliis work will be had by taking time to carefully read this foreword. On page one of Henry Wyles Cushman's "Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans" he starts with: "Robert Cushman, the ancestor of all the Cushmans in the United States, was born in England" etc.; and further, on page 85 in footnote No. 3 he writes: "From Thomas Cush­ man and his wife, Mary, and their descendants have come all the Cushmans in the United States; they are therefore of full blood Puritan stock, both their paternal and maternal an­ cestors having been among the Pilgrims who settled at Plymouth." Throughout the generations our descent from Robert Cush­ man has been regarded and esteemed a family heritage, and in my own family it has been taught with studious and dili­ gent care, almost religious care. Tn my early childhood I re­ call the devotion of my mother to instill into my young mind and that of my brother and sisters, the value of the Cushman birthright and heritage that was ours. At an early date in life I recognized the neglect of our branch of the family to have in print and record these facts concerning us from the sixth generation on, as there seemed to be no publication of Cushman general history after the year 1855. The clear and broad knowledge with the unusual ability to tell of our history, possessed by the brother of our beloved mother, Melandez Woodmansee Cushman, found in mc a ready listener with an eager ear, which in after years, when I found myself in retirement from active business pursuits, caused me to feel that in this knowledge of family history there was excellent worth and value for the generations from the Sixth on down to the present (which in some instances is the four­ teenth generation) I began to feel it a duty slowly developing into a determination, to try to compile the old and accepted 10 CUSHMAN GENEALOGY AND GENERAL HISTORY historical facts relating to the Cushmans, and as nearly as possible to obtain the names and other vital statistics neces­ sary for a genealogical record, together with such biographical features of interest as available for me, for the purpose of making a printed record of Cushman history and genealogy ; adding to this such photography as possible for me to secure which I felt would assist in completing my work in book form in the belief that it would strengthen morale, build character, and be of more than usual worth and value to the Cushmans of the present and the future. Therefore, with intrepid spirit and a seeming uncontrollable and unconquerable desire to correct in some manner the neg­ lect of the past by others in not having made and put in printed and proper record form, our lineal descent from Rob­ ert Cushman, I have devoted myself seriously to investigation, photographing features of Cushman interest, traveling to confirm the things I had heard, and slowly and surely com­ piling for print that which I considered a reasonably depend­ able record of our branch of the Cushman family. In recording and making of copy I have endeavored to make my record and copy as free of error as possible ; also, I have hoped that the spelling of given names as furnished me might be free from error and that birth dates, marriages and death dates were free as well. Tn copying family records from old-family-records and books where there were several children in a family, a slight mistake is not only possible but very easy to make in the day of the month and even in the correct spell­ ing of a given name ; however, I have given special care when­ ever doubt arose concerning either, to seek and secure satisfy­ ing evidence concerning the doubt and to establish the facts. With all this care it is likely that in some instance a name may have been mis-spelled or the exact day of a month not absolutely correct. In view of my radical departure from the form or style and abbreviations usually employed by writers, authors and pub­ lishers of genealogical work, I may have invited severe criti­ cism from the professional. Here in this work I have made record up to the fourteenth generation in some families, and have found so many Roberts, Thomases and Isaacs and have CUSHMAN GENEALOGY AND GENERAL HISTORY 11 further noticed in some families the use of the same given- first-name through three successive generations, that should the name happen to have been George, there would have been quite a few Georges and confusing as to which George was meant when the name was pronounced or written ; therefore, I felt the necessity of giving to each a definite expression of relationship to parentage, so that in tracing back there could be no mistake made as to just which George and to which family some certain George belonged. If in doing so I transgress your ethical sense of custom and propriety, I trust my attempt to clarify and eliminate doubt will compensate and assuage your irritation. In my desire to establish our line of descent from Robert Cushman, I discovered the effort made by others to correct the error printed in the Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans, by Henry "VVyles Cushman, which effort estab­ lished the existence of Thomas Cushman, the grandson of Elder Thomas Cushman, which resulted through research of James Thomas Cushman and Theodore Parker Adams. Through correspondence with Mr. Theodore P. Adams, A. B., of Plymouth, Mass., I found that Thomas Cushman, son of Elder Thomas Cushman, who first married Ruth Howland, and secondly Abigail Fuller, did have a son named Thomas, which fact was confirmed from existing records, and in further correspondence with Mr. Adams he suggested to me that most likely we belonged to the Lebanon, Conn., branch. After re­ flecting upon the fact that my great-grandfather, Isaac Cush­ man, with his elder brother Thomas, did come down to Mo­ nongalia County, Va., and Fayette County, Penn., from Essex County, New Jersey, it was easy to trace back through to Lebanon, New London County, verifying the suggestion of Mr. Adams. Then making contact with the descendants of Thomas Cush­ man, the elder brother of my great-grandfather, a few fam­ ilies, the descendants of Thomas, now living in eastern Ken­ tucky, in Mason County and Fleming County, and these de­ scendants having established their descent from the Lebanon branch, and they having been admitted to membership in both the Society of the Mayflower and also in the Daughters 12 CUSHMAN GENEALOGY AND GENERAL HISTORY J?tto «Englanb ^iátorit «genealoaítal ê>rjcíttj> 9 AsHBURTON PLACE, BOSTON, MASS.

William Bradford wrote that one of the Pilgrim's primary concerns was that the "weak bodies" of the women and girls would not be able to handle such a long voyage at sea, and the harsh life involved in establishing a new colony. For this reason, many girls were left behind, to be sent for later after the Colony had been established. Some of the daughters left behind include Fear Brewster (age 14), Mary Warren (10), Anna Warren (8), Sarah Warren (6), Elizabeth Warren (4), Abigail Warren (2), Jane Cooke (8), Hester Cooke (1), Mary Priest (7), Sarah Priest (5), and Elizabeth and Margaret Rogers. As it would turn out however, the girls had the strongest bodies of them all. No girls died on the Mayflower's voyage, but one man and one boy did. And the terrible first winter, twenty-five men (50%) and eight boys (36%) got sick and died, compared to only two girls (16%). So who were these girls? One of them was under the age of one, named Humility Cooper. Her father had died, and her mother was unable to support her; so she was sent with her aunt and uncle on the Mayflower.

The time-frame has been selected for two reasons: (1) actresses active after 1870 have been the subject of several dissertations and scholarly studies, while relatively little research has been completed on women active on the American stage prior to 1870, and (2) prior to 1850 there was limited theatre activity in this country and very few professional actresses. A general description of mid-nineteenth-century theatre and its social context is provided, including a summary of major developments in theatre in New York and other cities from 1850 to 1870, discussions of the star system, the combination company, and the mid-century audience.

    William Bradford's Life and Influence Have Been Chronicled by Many. As the Co-Author of Mourt's Relation, the Author of of Plymo

    William Bradford's life and influence have been chronicled by many. As the co-author of Mourt's Relation, the author of Of Plymouth Plantation, and the long-term governor of Plymouth Colony, his documented activities are vast in scope. The success of the Plymouth Colony is largely due to his remarkable ability to manage men and affairs. The information presented here will not attempt to recreate all of his activities. Instead, we will present: a portion of the biography of William Bradford written by Cotton Mather and originally published in 1702, a further reading list, selected texts which may not be usually found in other publications, and information about items related to William Bradford which may be found in Pilgrim Hall Museum. Cotton Mather's Life of William Bradford (originally published 1702) "Among those devout people was our William Bradford, who was born Anno 1588 in an obscure village called Ansterfield... he had a comfortable inheritance left him of his honest parents, who died while he was yet a child, and cast him on the education, first of his grand parents, and then of his uncles, who devoted him, like his ancestors, unto the affairs of husbandry. Soon a long sickness kept him, as he would afterwards thankfully say, from the vanities of youth, and made him the fitter for what he was afterwards to undergo. When he was about a dozen years old, the reading of the Scripture began to cause great impressions upon him; and those impressions were much assisted and improved, when he came to enjoy Mr.

    Dumbarton House Annual Report

    Dumbarton House Annual Report Fiscal Year 2013 September 2012 – August 2013 Headquarters & Museum ~ The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America Letter from the Executive Director and chairman Dear Friends, Our temporary exhibition this past year—Metamo’rphosis I—provides a fitting theme for our 2013 fiscal year activities here at Dumbarton House, with exciting transformations afoot at your NSCDA national headquarters and museum. In the museum, new collections acquisitions have allowed us to enrich our interpretation of life in our national capital’s earliest days, while the Metamo’rphosis I exhibition encouraged contemporary artists to find inspiration for their modern creations in our historic collection. In the museum interiors, the Dining Room received a stunning facelift, returning it to its authentic Federal period aesthetic. Outside, a transformation of another sort commenced with extensive upgrades to irrigation and garden lighting systems performed alongside emergency repairs of the air conditioning compressor and multiple sink holes. Inside, summer renovations carved out dedicated collections storage space from a former custodial supply closet and office space, and created a headquarters entrance, reception, meeting, and office space in the building’s west wing. Meanwhile, a team of skilled engineers, conservators, preservation architects, and sustainability consultants conducted a year-long study of the site’s HVAC system, funded through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The NSCDA 2012 Biennial kick-started this year of metamorphoses as members elected new national leadership (including Anna Duff as new NSCDA Vice President-Headquarters, Dumbarton House) and unveiled an engaging new brand for the Society. Our numerous museum programs, serving just under 20,000 this past year, and these numerous preservation efforts would not be possible without the generous support of friends like you from across the country.

  • Notes on Cole's Hill

    Notes on Cole's Hill

    NOTES ON COLE’S HILL by Edward R. Belcher Pilgrim Society Note, Series One, Number One, 1954 The designation of Cole‟s Hill as a registered National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, was announced at the Annual Meeting of the Pilgrim Society on December 21, 1961. An official plaque will be placed on Cole‟s Hill. The formal application for this designation, made by the Society, reads in part: "... Fully conscious of the high responsibility to the Nation that goes with the ownership and care of a property classified as ... worthy of Registered National Historic Landmark status ... we agree to preserve... to the best of our ability, the historical integrity of this important part of our national cultural heritage ..." A tablet mounted on the granite post at the top of the steps on Cole‟s Hill bears this inscription: "In memory of James Cole Born London England 1600 Died Plymouth Mass 1692 First settler of Coles Hill 1633 A soldier in Pequot Indian War 1637 This tablet erected by his descendants1917" Cole‟s Hill, rising from the shore near the center of town and overlooking the Rock and the harbor, has occupied a prominent place in the affairs of the community. Here were buried the bodies of those who died during the first years of the settlement. From it could be watched the arrivals and departures of the many fishing and trading boats and the ships that came from time to time. In times of emergency, the Hill was fortified for the protection of the town.
