Thomas Cushman, the first son of Plymouth’s Ruling Elder Thomas Cushman and Mary (Allerton) Cushman, a Mayflower passenger. Little is known of his growing years. Some time in the early 1660’s, Thomas Jr. began courting Ruth Howland. Ruth was the youngest daughter of Mayflower passengers John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley and very near neighbors to the Cushman Family. On 7 Mar 1665 Thomas Jr. was fined five pounds by the Court for committing “‘carnal copulation with his now wife before marriage, but after contract.”
The common practice in vogue then of “courting ” by young men and maidens, and the uniform fashion ” of keeping company till the small hours of the night,” was one that did not tend to promote a high degree of virtuous intercourse.
Thomas did not suffer much materially in his reputation by an error which he soon remedied by marriage and was, during a long life, a worthy member of the Congregational Church at Plympton, of which his brother Isaac was the Pastor. However, Thomas Cushman, Jr. squandered the opportunity to be considered to succeed his father as Ruling Elder. In 1694, Thomas’ younger brother Isaac was chosen to succeed his father as Ruling Elder. In 1664 Thomas Jr. and Ruth were married and remained in Plymouth. “. … they lived on the west side of the highway that leads from Plympton meeting house to the north part of the town, and ‘Colehester Brook’ ran through his farm, which contained a large quantity of land.” Ruth died as a young woman sometime after 1672, and Thomas Jr. married Abigail Fuller in 1679.
Thomas’s second wife [and our ancestor] was Abigail Fuller of Rehoboth, and they were members of the Congregational Church at Plympton. They had 4 children: Job, Bartholomew, Samuel & Benjamin. Plympton was divided from Plymouth in 1707 and Thomas’s farm was then in the limits of the new town. His farm was large, with many buildings and with Colchester Brook running through it. It lay west of the highway going north from the Plympton meeting house. For many years Thomas had been a surveyor of highways for the town of Plymouth.
“On 21 May 1721 Thomas Cushman of Plimpton, yeoman, deeded to his son Benjamin the house and land where Benjamin was living. On the same day he deeded to son Samuel the land where Samuel was living. On 25 Dec. 1721 he deeded the land where he, Thomas, was living to sons Benjamin and Samuel.”
