Mary Allerton, wife of Elder Cushman, came over in the Mayflower in 1620. She was then about eleven years of age. With her husband she was a member of the church at Plymouth, and as we may well suppose, she was a worthy companion of her excellent, pious and useful husband, during his long ministry as Ruling Elder of the Church. She survived him seven or eight years, and died at the advance age of ninety. Her name has become quite famous from the fact that she was in the Mayflower. She was probably buried by the side of her husband, in the Burying Hill Cemetery at Plymouth, though no monument has ever been erected to her memory.

Thomas Cushman came to Plymouth on the "Fortune" in 1621 with his father Robert. Thomas was 14 at the time.
Source: Genealogical Register of Plymouth Families by William T. Davis 1895.

Passenger List, ship fortune, 1621

The ship Fortune arrived at Plymouth on November 9, 1621, just a few weeks after the First Thanksgiving. This passenger list is based on the 1623 Division of Land, the passenger list compiled by Charles Edward Banks in planters of the Commonwealth, and by the information found in Eugene Aubrey Stratton's Plymouth colony: Its History and Its People, 1620-1691.

He was Elder of the Plymouth Church from 6 April 1649 until his death, (43 years).

Reared from age 14 by Gov. William Bradford when his father left him in his care when he returned to London to continue his work for the colony before he died in 1625 of the plague prevalent at that time.

The will of Thomas Cushman Sr. of Plimouth dated 22 Oct. 1690, sworn 16 March 1691/2, names wife Mary Cushman; sons Thomas, Isaac, Elkanah and Eleazer Cushman; daus. Sarah Hoaks and Lidiah Harlow; the three grandchildren in Lin (Lynn), the children of daughter Mary Hutchinson, dec.

CUSHMAN, THOMAS - The son of Robert Cushman, q.v., Thomas was baptized at Canterbury 8 February 1607/8, and he was taken by his father to Leiden shortly after. He arrived at Plymouth on the Fortune in 1621, and became a ward of Governor Bradford. He was a Purchaser and received a number of land grants. He was admitted a Plymouth freeman 1 January 1633/34 (PCR 1:21). On 1 July 1634 he successfully sued Mr. John Combes for 10 pounds (PCR 1:30. He served on various juries and committees and was a highway surveyor (PCR, passim). On 1 December 1640 he, Nicholas Snow, and Josias Cooke were presented by the grand jury for not mending the highways, but were freed on condition that they make the repairs within a year (PCR2:5. On 3 march 1645/46 Cushman made a successful mothin in court that Mr. Isaac Allerton be allowed a year's time to recover his debts in the colony (PCR 2:95). Allerton was his father-in-law, Cushman having married Mary Allerton at an unknown date. By a letter of 27 October 1646, Allerton had assigned to his son-in-law Thomas Cushman a debt of 100 pounds owed Allerton by Mr. John Coombes (PCR 2:130-33). On 1 August 1648 the court of Assistants assigned part of some grain due the widow of John Coombes toward satisfying the debt of her late husband to Cuthbert Cuthbertson, whose estate was a debtor "of considerable some" to Isaac Allerton. Cushman succeeded William Brewster as Ruling Elder of the Plymouth church on 6 April 1649, the position having been vacant since 1644 (Ply. ch. Recs. 1:165). He had differences with the pastor, John Cotton, as the latter noted in church records in 1683, writing that the elders met with the pastor and decided to put their differences to some other churches for advice, and the Elder (Cushman) moved that the magistrates be invited to meet with and advise them. In succeeding months there are additional intimations of differences in which "the Elder showed discontent" (Ply. Ch. recs. 1:251, 253-54). He became ill in his old age and languished for souie eleven weeks before he died on 10 or 11 December 1691, another man whose life was virtually cotern-dnal with that of Plymouth Colony (Ply. ch. Recs. 1:165-66; George E Bowman, "Elder Thomas Cushman's Will and Inventory, and the Records of His Death," MD 4:37). In his will dated 22 October 1690, sworn 16 March 1691/92, he named his wife Mary, sons Thomas, Isaac, Elkanah, and Eleazer; daughters Sarah Hawks and Lydia Harlow; and the three children of his daughter Mary Hutchinson. he also had a daughter Fear (PCR 8:15), who predeceased him without issue. Family histories, not sufficiently documented, and Henry W. Cushman Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans (Boston, 1855), and Joseph A. Cushman, The First Seven Generations of the Cushman Family New England (1964). An important article is Mrs. John E Barclay and Anna M. Gurney, "Rebecca, Wife of Reverend Isaac Cushman" (TAG 26:144), which shows the error in undocumented published claims that the wife of Thomas Cushmans son Isaac was an Abigail Richard; she was much more likely Rebecca 2 Harlow. Newman A Hall, "Mary Cushman, Wife of Francis Hutchinson, An Isaac Allerton Line," MQ 52:28, convincingly dears up the question as to which Hutchinson she married, showing that it had to be Francis, not Edward. See also Tag 24:105 and NEHGR 122:48, 249,128:193 and the account of the Cushman family given in Small Descendants. 2:669. From the cited sources it can be seen that Cushman's daughter Mary married Francis Hutchinson: Thomas married Ruth Howland, daughter of Mayflower passenger John Howland; Sarah married John Howkes; Isaac probably married Rebecca Harlow; Elkanah married (1) Elizabeth Cole and (2) Martha Cooke; Fear died without issue; Eleazer married Elizabeth Combes; and Lydia married William Harlow.

On Old Burial Hill, Plymouth MA the Cushman Memorial and two smaller Cushman Monuments in the foreground dedicated to Elder Thomas Cushman stand. On the smaller stone is the inscription:
"Here lyeth buried ye body of the precious servant of God, Mr. Thomas Cushman, who after he had served his generation according to the will of God, and particularly the church of Plymouth for many years in the office of the Ruling Elder, fell asleep in Jesus, Decmr. Ye 10, 1691 & ye 84 year of his age."
It will be noticed that the day of his death by the Church Records, is Dec. 11th, but by his grave stone it is Dec. 10th; which is correct is unknown.

His Will was dated 14 Oct 1725 - two years before his death - and was recorded in Book 5, page 330, of the Plymouth Records. He was buried at Old Cemetery, Plympton, MA and the following is the inscription on his Grave Stone:
Here lyes buried ye body of Deacon Elkanah Cushman who decd Sept. ye 4th 1727 in ye 77th year of his age.
He was probably a member of the Plympton chh. near thirty years, as his name stands first in the list of those who joined after the chh. was first formed. He was, undoubtedly, "a pious, godly man," devoted to the prosperity of the chh., for no other could hold the important office of deacon in those days.

Notes for JOHN HANCOCK LEE:
John Lee (of the Ditchley line of Lees) married Laetitia Atwell in Culpeper in 1771 and she died in childbirth in 1775. Major John fought in the Revolutionary War and gave their son Willis Atwell Lee to be raised by his brother, Hancock Lee, who founded Leestown in Kentucky. John Lee's parents were Mary Willis and Hancock Lee. In 1780 or so, John married Elizabeth Bell. They sold his land near the courthouse in Culpeper and moved to Orange Co. John and Elizabeth had a number of children. The Edmund Jennings Lee book on the Lee Family does not memtion Laetitia, only Elizabeth. Many genealogies report Hancock and Mary having 2 sons named John, one marrying Laetitia and one marrying Elizabeth, we think that Elizabeth was John's second wife.

Notes for ELKANAH CUSHMAN:
Source: Descendants of Governor William Bradford, compiled by Ruth Gardiner Hall under Auspices of Bradford Family Compact, 1951, Higginson
One of seven who founded "Old Colony Club" in 1769, which was the first organized commemoration of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, in 1620. In 1769 made a survey of a shorter route from Plymouth to the Metropolis. In 1776 embarked for Halifax with the British Army and nothing more known about him.

Note: source above list only one child, Elkanah b. June 1, 1769. We had Eleanor born 1793. By looking at the birth date of the mother, Mary Lothrop b. Oct 1, 1739, it seems Elkanah would be more likely to be correct.

Research done by Certified Geneoligist, David T. Robertson, Genealogical Consultant & Family History Researcher, Telephone (617)- 479-3095, E Mail DTRobertson@Prodigy.net, P.O. Box 309, Quincy Center, Massachusetts 02269-0309, on August 23, 1998 found:
Elkanah Cushman of Plymouth was the custom house tideman or tax collector. He fled to Halifax in 1776. That is why we neither find his or his wife's death in Boston. Either he left behind his children or they returned to Boston later. If that is correct then Eleanor was born in Nova Scotia. (David T. Robertson's belief at this time is that Eleanor is the son of this Elkanah and brother of Elkanah, husband of Susannah W. Lathrop, see Elkanah Jr for more on this)

Notes for MARY LATHROP:
"Daughter of Ansell Mariner" Chose. Sept 16, 1756, Ebenezer Spooner, gentleman, as her guardian. She died single about 1792. (note: See Family Page, we have her married to Elkanah Cushman, per "Genealogical Register of Plymouth Families", by William T. Davis.)

Notes for ZACHARY TAYLOR:
President Zachary Taylor
Occupation: 12th President, USA
Elected in 1848 over Lewis Cass by a popular vote of 1,360,967 to 1,222,342 and an electoral vote of 163 to 127. Chose Millard Fillmore as vice-president. Died in office, while Congress was in session. Was 2nd cousin of James Madison.

Zachary Taylor, nicknamed "Rough and Ready," was our twelfth president and hero of the Mexican War of 1846-1848. He was a descendant of William Brewster and Isaac Allerton. His Mayflower lines came through William Brewster's daughter, Fear, who was Isaac Allerton's second wife. President Taylor's great-grandmother, Sarah Allerton, married Hancock Lee of the Lees of Virginia. He was thus related to Richard Henry Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and General Robert E. Lee of the Confederate Army. Zachary Taylor's daughter, Sarah, was the first wife of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America.

Notes for ELKANAH CUSHMAN:
Research done by Certified Geneoligist, David T. Robertson, Genealogical Consultant & Family History Researcher, Telephone (617)- 479-3095, E Mail DTRobertson@Prodigy.net, P.O. Box 309, Quincy Center, Massachusetts 02269-0309, on August 23, 1998 found:
In the Index of Marriages in Massachusetts Centinel and Columbia Centinel 1784-1840 published by the American Antiquarian Society 1952 (Vol. II C-D under Cushman) it was the marriage of Elkannah Cushman, merchant, to Eliza Babbitt in Boston which appeared in the Columbia Centinel 18 Oct 1815. At this time (see further research below) he believes this Elkanah is the son of my Elkannah and the brother of Eleanor Cushman. In the Index of Deaths in Massachusetts Centinel and Columbian Centinel 1784-1840 published by the American Antiquarian Society 1952, (Vol. 3 C under Cushman), he found the death notice of Mrs. Elkanah Cushman, consort (wife) of Elkanah Cushman who died in Boston aged 49 which was published in the Columbia Centinel 11 Feb 1815. He believes this was Elkanah Jr. first wife and that he remarried in October of the same year.

This is supported in The First Seven Generations of the Cushman Family in New England by John Augustine Cushman, which tells us that Elkanah, son of Elkanah and Mary (Lothrop) Cushman married first 26 Dec 1790, Susannah Wendell Lothrop who died 8 Feb 1815 aged 49 and that this Elkanah married secondly 18 Oct 1815 at Boston, Mary Eliza Babbit.

Elkanah Cushman Jr. is in Boston 1 Aug 1797. He is described as "hair-dresser" and he purchases a brickhouse and wooden house and land from Joseph Greene situated on the north-west side of Washington St. between West and Boylston Sts. (Suffolk Deed 188:24). It is uncertain whether he had remained in the U.S. during the War or returned afterwards. If he returned, his sister might have accompanied him, or joined him. Elkanah Cushman, hairdresser, and his wife Susanna, obtained a mortgage from Joseph Greene which was paid up and canceled 30 Dec 1802. (Suffolk Deeds 188:25) . Elkanah (Jr.) married secondly 1815, Mary Elizabeth Babbitt, daughter of Erasmus and Mary (Sanders) Babbitt was the father of Charlotte Sanders Cushman, an actress (1816-1876) and four other children. They lived on Prince St. (In Boston's North End.) The Index contained nothing more on the family.

Elkanah Jr. had been seen in the 1820 census in Boston, but in 1830 he appears in Charlestown, just over the river from the North End. Elkanah does not appear thereafter unless he is the one in Kingston, Plymouth County, MA, but I do not think so. In the Columbia Centinal his youngest son Augustus dies in Lebanon, NY. I expect that Elkanah moved there.

Further research done by same source as above on Sept. 7, 1998

The first thought I had when I reviewed everything is that Eleanor Cushman is most likely not the daughter of Mary Lathrop, who would have been fifty four years of age at her birth. Rather, I expect Eleanor to be the daughter of Elkanah Jr. whom we know lived in Boston after his father fled to Canada. This Elkanah Jr. married first, Susannah Wendell Lothrop, 26 Dec 1790. It was probably Susannah who gave birth to Eleanor in 1793. Susannah died and Jr. married secondly Mary Eliza Babbit 18 Oct 1815. He died 13 Jun 1841 in Boston.

Recorded in Vol 2 pg 414 of the Boston Marriages., (2) Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans: The Desc. of Robt. Cushman, the Puritan, by H.W.

Research done by Certified Geneoligist, David T. Robertson, Genealogical Consultant & Family History Researcher, Telephone (617)- 479-3095, E Mail DTRobertson@Prodigy.net, P.O. Box 309, Quincy Center, Massachusetts 02269-0309, on August 23, 1998 found:

In the Index of Marriages in Massachusetts Centinel and Columbia Centinel 1784-1840 published by the American Antiquarian Society 1952 (Vol. II C-D under Cushman) it was found that Eleanor Cushman's marriage to James Weld was in Boston on the Sunday prior to the newspaper notice which appeared in the Columbia Centinel 20 Feb 1811.

With the knowledge that the Weld - Cushman marriage was in Boston, I found it in Boston Vital Records which have been microfiched by Jay Mack Holbrook. It was recorded in Vol. 2 pg. 414 of the Boston Marriages. James Weld and Eleanor W Cushman were married 17 Feb 1811 by Revd. John Eliot. From Boston Churches and Ministers by John Hayward 1849 we find that Revd. John Eliot was pastor of New North Church (Unitarian).

It is believed James first appears in the census in Boston in 1830. James Weld appears in 1840 in Dorchester and in 1850 he is in Roxbury (1850 US Census Film M432-330 pg. 122) . He is aged 62 and is a baker with an estate of $12,000. His wife Isabella Weld, aged 50, was born in Mass. living with him was twelve year old Charles Eaton who was in school and two domestics, Sarah Hammond, aged 40 and Elisha W. Cobb aged 50.

Further research done by same source as listed above on Sept. 7, 1998

I my earlier letter to you I told you that I had found a James Weld in the 1850 census, but that I was unsure that he was yours as he had a wife Isabella. I speculated that he had remarried. I found a copy of that page (1850 US Census, Roxbury, Norfolk County, Massachusetts Film M432-330 pp. 122-123). James was aged 62 (born about 1788) and a Baker and his Real Estate was valued at $12000, a very rich estate in those days. Isabella was aged 50 (born about 1800).

Just a few doors farther along the same street was the home of Ellen Cartwright, (born about 1815) aged 35, born in Massachusetts. Living with her were daughters Ellen, aged 16, Susan 14, Ann 12, Mary 3 and Sarah 8, and sons James 7, and Edmund 5, all born in Massachusetts. They also had two domestics, Mary and Delia White aged 20 & 18 respectively, born in Ireland. Also living with her were Samuel and Martha Eaton (23 & 22) who may have been related to Charles Eaton aged 12 seen in James' household. (They appear too young to be his parents).

Proof of death of James was found in (Massachusetts Vital Records - Deaths 1867, vol. 203 pg. 264, Roxbury, Norfolk Co., Mass. ). James died 18 Jun 1867 in Roxbury aged 78 years, 7 months, 8 days. He was married and he died due to Old Age. He was a merchant and had been born in Roxbury, son of Edmund and Sarah Weld, both of Roxbury.

Based on this new information I returned to the Weld Collections by Charles Frederick Robinson (1938) and found an Edmund Weld, a tanner, b. 12 Jan 1728/9, with a wife Sarah. He had eleven children, though none named James are listed and it is unlikely that he would have had a son as late as 1788. But he did have a son Edmund Grindell Weld, b. 12 Oct 1753 a "felt-monger." He would be the right age to be the father of James.

Edmund Grindell Weld was b. in Roxbury 12 Oct 1753. He died before 5 Apr 1796, the date that his wife, Sarah, applies for the administration of his estate. Roxbury had just recently been set off as a part of Norfolk County. I have located this administration (Norfolk County Probate #19565 Roxbury 1796). An allowance was made to the widow but the estate was insolvent so there is no distribution to their children. The bondsmen to James' estate was Samuel Weld of Boston and John Harris of Boston. This suggests that Sarah may have been a Harris. Roxbury Vital Records lists no children for this couple, though he was sexton of the First Church of Roxbury.

Dedham Courthouse has the will of James Weld of Roxbury (Norfolk County Probate #19587 Roxbury 1867.
James wrote the will 28 Jan 1860. He mentions his properties on Cottage Street, Roxbury, and India Street, Boston. His will created a trust for the support of his wife and sister and the excess of the income of the trust was to go to his daughter Ellen M. Cartwright, wife of John Cartwright. She to be his residual legatee. Edward S. Rand was both sole executor of the estate and Trustee of the Trust.

Highlights of these records include; Edward S. Rand of Boston asked to be executor of the estate of James Weld of Roxbury who died 18 Jun 1867, leaving a widow, Isabella Weld and his only child and daughter, Ellen M. Cartwright, wife of John W. Cartwright of Nantucket. James Weld was a Baker. Mrs. Weld received $65 per month from the trust and C. E. Cartwright received a sum for "the board of Mrs. Cobb." Mrs. Cobb is not mentioned after Sep 2, 1874. I suspect that Mrs. Cobb is the sister of James Weld. The 1878 report names the children of Ellen M. Cartwright as "the only parties interested" in this trust. This suggests that Isabella died in 1877, probably in August (She received payment 5 July). Ellen must have also died before her as she is not named and her children are. In the Final report dated 13 Feb 1879, the children of "his [James Weld's] deceased daughter Ellen M. Cartwright" each receive a settlement from the trust amounting to $147.14. They were:

John W. Cartwright, Ann E. Richardson, Sarah W. Galucia, Edmund G. W. Cartwright, Susan H. Folger, Mary S. Coffin, James W. Cartwright, Wallace F. Cartwright, Frederick H. Cartwright, Charles E. Cartwright, Frederick G. Cartwright, Annie M. Cartwright

The last three in this list appear to be grandchildren of Ellen, children of her son Charles E. Cartwright.

In the History of The Graveyards of Boston, by William H. Whitmore (1878) Benjamin Weld and his wife Nabby sold the Town of Boston a parcel of land to enlarge Copp's Hill burial ground on Hull Street. The 37th Lot in this new section went to James Weld who sold it to Phineas Capen, 23 May 1851. The Capen family was originally from Dorchester and James Weld had moved from Dorchester back to Roxbury by 1850.

Boston Taxpayers in 1821 by Lewis Bunker Rohrbach (1988) shows James renting a shop in the Custom House, valued at $1,200 while he owns a Bake House in the Custom House valued at $2,300, and another shop in the Custom House valued at $100, also a building on Broad St. valued at $500, and a building on White Bread Street valued at $200. Clearly, James is a man of property. James' Mother was living in his property on White Bread Street and must have died after 1821. The widow Sarah Weld who died in Roxbury 12 Mar 1824 aged 91 (b. 1733) was probably the wife of the elder Edmund6 Weld, not Edmund Grindell Weld (Roxbury VR 11.662).

The Town of Roxbury by Francis S. Drake (1878) tells us that Edmund Weld bequeath the Weld Estate to his son Edmund, being "part of the homestead and training field, and the land adjoining." This land was bounded by the present Moreland, Fairland, Greenville and Winthrop Streets and is in the Mount Pleasant section of Roxbury.

Lastly, I went through Norfolk County Deeds for James Weld. He appears to have had extensive real estate dealings, primarily in Dorchester, both buying and selling and mortgaging and giving mortgages, over fifty deeds in all. His holdings are throughout Dorchester. Eleanor W. Weld released her dower rights on each sale up to 22 Jul 1847, when Ellen M. Cartwright witnesses her signature (suggesting that Eleanor was too ill to attend the signing herself). Ellen appears to have taken an active role in her father's ventures and often appears as a witness on his deeds. On 1 Aug 1848 James states that he "has no wife," and repeats that statement 2 Dec 1848 and on 14 Jun 1849, Isabella Weld signs off her dower rights on a deed. So, Eleanor died between 22 Jul 1847 and 1 Aug 1848 and he married Isabella between 2 Dec 1848 and 14 Jun 1849. James moved from Dorchester to Roxbury just after his wife's death.

Notes for ELLEN MARIA WELD:
Nantucket VR 2:611 has birth date Aug. 21, 1814

Research done by Certified Geneoligist, David T. Robertson, Genealogical Consultant & Family History Researcher, Telephone (617)- 479-3095, E Mail DTRobertson@Prodigy.net, P.O. Box 309, Quincy Center, Massachusetts 02269-0309, on August 23, 1998

Ellen Maria Weld was not born in Nantucket. In the book Vital Records of Nantucket she is the only Weld birth listed and following the entry is the source note "p.r.38" meaning private record 38. This record was the genealogical research of William C. Folger which was placed in the possession of the Nantucket Historical Association. The authors of Nantucket VRs noted "This compilation has been used because of the valuable clues it affords, but its statements should be received with caution, as it is not free from errors. It should be understood that in many instances the events recorded did not take place in Nantucket.." In fact I find evidence to doubt that Ellen ever lived on Nantucket. Her husband's family, the Cartwrights, did originate on Nantucket. It is possible that John W. Cartwright, Sr. was born there, though his birth record comes from the same source as his wife's. I found that their son John W. Cartwright Jr. also married a Boston woman, (Nantucket VR 179). Their daughter Ann Eliza married James H. Richardson of Boston, (Nantucket VR 177). Their son John W. married Mary J. Johnson of Boston, (Nantucket VR 179). This suggest to me that they lived in Boston not Nantucket.

According to David Freeman e-mail Dvfree@aol.com
He was doing research in family boxes and had turned up the family bible started when Ellen Maria Weld Married John W. Cartwright, Sr. The page where vital data is typically listed has a handwritten entry signed by JWC that they were married 5 June 1832 by George Gay Justice of the Peace.

This finding backs up other data he has that the 5 April 1832 date for the marriage in the Nantucket Vital Records 4:493 is wrong. John Jr. (his G Grandfather) was born 23 December 1832. Ellen Maria was two months pregnant when they were married. That explains why someone from a Boston Blueblood family was married by a JP rather than a minister.

Marriage Notes for ELLEN WELD and JOHN CARTWRIGHT:
From the Family Bible in the posession of David Freeman, 1509 Birch Anenue, Richland WA (address as of 1/1/2003) the marriage date was 6/5/1832 not 4/5/1832 as some records have it. The bible note was written by John William Cartwright himself and adds that Justice of the Peace George Gay performed the ceremony.
Since my G Grandfather John Jr. was born in December, this means Ellen Maria was quite pregnant when they were marr
