Cushing Queries
Need to know: marriage date of William and Mary, Date of death of Mary (or remarriage??). William was buried in Cushing in 1856.
I have slowly begun to taken over my father's genealogical work and am getting my bearings on where he left off when he died in 1988.
I gather from the introduction of the book (mentioned above) that it is believed by the author's that William VII Hathorn, along with his son Alexander and brother Samuel arrived in Cushing sometime before January of 1743 (deed records) supposedly from Salem. I also read the author's believe William VII and Samuel were sons of Col. John Hathorn (the Salem witch trial judge who d. 1717, buried in Salem).
I have not run across anything in my father's materials which was able to confirm this although he (or the co-author(s)) references some Salem birth records (b. Aug. 1686 in Salem) possibly for William VII. This birth date coincides well with another of John Hathorn's sons, Joseph Hathorn, who others have as born in 1691. Judge John Hathorn only names 5 children in his will which leaves in question William and Samuel's relationship. My Dad references 2 different researchers (Miller and Loggins) who surmises differ; Loggins suggesting the Cushing Hathorns were actually Scotch-Irish where Miller ties William of Cushing to John of Salem.
So, this is my primary endeavor as I take up my father's work, to research what others may have further researched/concluded since my father's book was written in 1986. I hope someone may know of additional work that may have been done in these intervening years about the origin of William VII Hathorn of Cushing before their arrival in 1743.
