     George came to Plymouth on the Anne in 1623.Nathaniel Morton, the eldest son, wrote in New England's Memorial; "About fourteen days after (the fast held about the middle of July) came in the ship, called the Ann, whereof Mr. William Pierce was master. Two of the principal passengers that came in this ship were Mr. Timothy Hatherly and Mr. George Morton...The latter of the two forenamed, viz., Mr. George Morton was a pious, gracious servant of God, and very faithful in whatsoever publick emplyment he was betrusted withal, and an unfeigned well-willer, and according to his sphere and condition a suitable premoter of the common good and growth of the plantation of New Plimouth; labouring to still the discontents that sometimes would arise amongst some spirits by occasion of the difficulties of these new beginnings; but it pleased God to put a period to his days soon after his arrival in New-England, not surviving a full year after his coming ashore. With much comfort and peace he fell asleep in the Lord, in the month of June, Anno. 1624."

      In the division of land among those who came in the Ann it is recorded that George Morton and Experience Mitchell (named bracketed together) received eight acres abutting "against the Swampe and Reed Ponde".

He had an agreement between the Merchants of London and Adventurers, Isaac was given full authority to make all arrangements and was sent back and returned once again in 1628. He did another trip in 1629-1630, where he settled the arrangement. There were issues of some trouble between Allerton and Bradford.
     Isaac was a merchant and was the first merchant of New England and the founder of the coasting trade and fish industry. He was the first to welcome Wintrhop and his Company. Winthrop writes: "About four in the morning we  were near our port, we shot off two pieces of ordinance and sent our skiff to Mr. Pierceabout an hour after Mr. Allerton came on board us in a shallop as he was sailing to Pemaquid," Isaac attempted to set up a rival trading station in Kennenec in 1632 and also one on the Penobscot, but by 1634 the French had broke them up. His wife, Fear died on 12 December 1634 at Plymouth, Plymouth, MA.
     In 1635, his liberal views brought about his removal from Marblehead and in May he transferred all his houses, buildings, and stages for curing fish there to his son-in-law Moses Maverick. In 1636 while returning from Penobscot he was shipwrecked. From 1636-1646, he resided for most of the time at New Amesterdam. There he was involved in coasting and tobacco trades and had a warehouse on the East River, near where the foot of Maiden Lane is. He became one of the Dutch settlers own Council in 1643.While there he made voyages to Virginia, the West Indies, and New England Colonies.
     Winthrop writes in 1643: "Three ministers which were sent to Virginia were wrecked on Long Island; Mr. Allerton of New Haven, being there took great paines and care of them and procured them a very good pinace and all things necessary." In a letter from John Hayned to Governor Winthrop: "There is late news by a vessel that came to the Dutch and from thence to New Haven by Mr. Allerton. The substances thus that there has been a great battle between the King and Parliament forces."
      In 1644, Allerton was shipwrecked at Scituate, Plymouth, MA on his way from New Haven to the Colonies. His third wife is mentioned and is assumed to be from Marblehead or Salem. About 1646 Isaac Allerton became a permanent resident of Newhaven and build a grand house on the creek with four porches on a home lot of two acres. The house stood on the north=west corner of Union and Fair Streets, and a table has been placed on the present building. He died at the beginning of 1659 and us buried in the old Burying Ground at New Haven.
      The Inventory of his estate was taken on 12 February 1659 and was presented to the Court on 5 April 1659. "Mrs. Allerton being asked if there was any Will by her husband answered there was, but she thought her son had it with him, who was now gone home." On 5 July of the same year, his son returned and presented the will. But the estate being badly insolvent the business was referred to the Court of Magistrates in October. At that Court the writing presented as the last Will and Testament of Isaac Allerton was informal and had no date. The witenesses were John Harriman and Edward Preston and was sealed and subscribed by Mr. Allerton deceased, whilst he had the use of his understanding and memory in competent degree.

The Robert Cushman Family- US 1621 to Current

Raymond Lineage

Fortune 1621

** Connected to the William Harlow Family at William Harlow (1657-1711) **

** Underlined names are linked to their connecting pages**

Generation One:
Robert Cushman- b. between 1580-1585 at England; m. Unknown; d. January- February 1625 at England
Their Children:
1. Thomas b. February 1608 at England

      Robert Cusham was a nonconformist or Puritan. He was one of those at Leyden and he and Deacon John Carver, "two of the most active, reliable, and judicious memebers of their community werre selected to go to London in the year 1617 and open negotiations" to make an application to settle in new territory in North Amercia.. After issues with this agreement. Robert and William Bradford returned to England in the early part of 1619 to try again. On 8 May 1619 Robert wrote the following letter to Rev. Robinson and the Leyden Church:
To his Loving Friends.
I had thought long since to have writ unto you; but could not effect that which I aimed at, neither can yet set things as I wished. Uet, notwithstanding, I doubt not but Mr. Brewster hath written to Mr. Robinson; but I think myself bound also to do something, lest I be thought to neglect you.
     The main hindrance of our proceedings in the Virginia business is the dissensions and factions, as they term it, amongst the Council and Company of Virginia, which are such as that ever since we came up no business could by them be despatched. The occasion of this trouble amongst them is, that a while since Sir Thomas Smith, repining at his many offices and troubles, wished the Company of Virginia to ease him of his office in being treasurer and governor of the Company, he having sixty voices, Sir John Wolstenholme sixteen voices, and alderman Johnson twenty-four. But Sir Thomas Smith, when he saw some part of his honor lost, was very angry, and raised a faction to cavil and contend about the election, and sought to tax Sir Edwin with many things that moght both disgrace him and also put him by his office of governor. In which contentions they yet stick, and are not fit nor ready to intermeddle in any business; and what issue things will come to, I know not, nor are we yeat certain. It is most like Sir Edwin will carry it away; and if he do , things will go well in Virginia; if otherwise, they will go ill enough always. We hope in two or three Court days things will settle. Mean space I think to go down into Kent, and come up again about fourteen days or three weeks hence; except either by these aforesaid contentions, or by the ill tidings from Viriginia, we be wholly discouraged; of which tidings as followeth.
      Capt.Argall is come home this week. He upon notice of the intent of the Council, came away from Sir George Yeardley came there, and so there is no small dissension. But his tidings is ill, although his person be welcome. He saith Mr. Blackwell's ship came not there until March but going towards winter they had still northwest winds, which carried them to the southward beyond their course; and the master of the ship and some six of the mariners dying it, seemed they could not find the Bar, till after long seeking and beating about. Mr. Blackwell is dead, and Mr. Maggner, the captain. Yea, there are deaad, he saith, a hundred and thirty persons, one and other, in the ship. It is said there was in all a hundred and eighty persons in the ship, so as they were packed together like herrings. They had amongst them a flux, and also want of fresh water; so as it is here rather wondered that so many are alove, than that so many are dead. The merchants here say it was Mr. Blackwell's fault to pack so many in the ship; yea, and there was great murmuring and repining amongst them and upbraiding of Mr. Blackwell for his dealing and disposing of them when they saw how he disposed of them and how he insulted over them. Yea, the streets at Gravesend rang of their extreme quarreling, crying out on of another, "Thou hast brought me to this. I may thank thee for this." Heavy news it is, and I would be glad to hear now far it will discourage. I see none here discouraged much, but rather desire to learn to beware by other men's harms, and to amend that wherein they have failed; as we desire to serve one another in love, so take heed of being enthralled by other imperious persons, especially if they be discerned to have an eye to themselves. It doth often trouble me to think that in this business we are to learn and none to teach. But better so than to depend upon such teachers as Mr. Blackwell was. Such a stratagem he made for Mr. Johnson and his people at Emden; much was their subversion. But though he then cleanily yet honestly plucked his neck out of the collar, yet at last his foot is caught.
      Here are no letters come. The ship Captain Argall came in is yet in the west parts. All that we hear is but his report. It seemeth he came away secretly. The ship that Mr. Blackerll went in will be here shortly. It is as Mr. Robinson once said; he thought we should hear no good of them.
      Mr. Brewster is not well at this time. Whether he will go back to you or go into the north, I yet know not. For myself, I hope to see an end of this business ere I come, though I am sorry to be thus from you. If things gone roundly forward, I should have been with you within fourteen days. I pray God direct us, and give us that spirit which is fitting such a business.
      This having summarily pointed at things which Mr. Brewster, I think, hath more largely writ of to Mr. Robinson, I leave you to the Lord's protection.
Yours, in all readiness & C.
Robert Cushman
London, May the 8th 1619

     Robert continued to be involved in securing the transportation arrangements of the Pilgrims. Due to him being one of he chief managers was most likely the reason he returned to London with those who were in the Speedwell. Having been left behind and trying to secure passage for the remaining Pilgrims, Robert wrote and published in England an article on the subject of settling in America called Reasons and Considerations Touching the Lawfulness of Removing Out of England into the Parts of America.
     Robert Cushman and his son, Thomas, sailed on the Fortune in early July, leaving from London. On Friday 9 November 1621, the Fortune arrived odd Cape Cod. WIth the Colony down to half their population due to illness, Robert was planning to return to England to inform the ohers of the conditions in New Plymouth. On 12 December 1621, Robert gave a sermon that became the first sermon delivered in New England that was printed. It was delivered inthe Common House which stood on the south side of Leyden Street, just where the steep descent of the hill commences , on the ground covered by the residence of Capt. Samuel D. Holmes. On the 13th , he sailed back on the Fortune for England. He left behind his only son and his wife who is thought to have passed earlier is not known. The Fortune on its return was captured by the French and was waylaid in France until it finally returned to England on Monday, 17 February 1622.
      In July of 1622, Mr. Weston of the Virginia COmpany sent over 50-60 men at his own charge to plant for him, they were not Puritans. Robert wrote to the Colony about them as "They are no men or us, and I fear they will hardly deal so well with the savages as they should. I pray you, therefore signify to Squanto, that they are a distinct body from us, and we have nothing to do with them, nor must be blamed for their faults, much less can warrant their fidelity."
     In the spring of 1623, at the time of the first divsion of land. It was for those who settled in Plymouth, but for only one year. In 1624, the Governor gieves every person an acre of land permanently.  Robert Cochma was given on acre-- these lye on the south side of the Brook to the Baywards. In 1624 Mr, Winslow on the Anne brought a letter from Robert to Governor Bradford, dated at London, 24 January 1623-24.He again writes to Bradford, Allerton and Brewster from London on 18 December 1624.
      William Bradford wrote to im in return but the letter never reached Robert for he had passed away about January or February of 1625.

       Thomas came over on the Fortune in 1621 with his father. When Robert returned to England, Thomas was left in the care of Governor Bradford. He was admitted a freeman on 1 January 1633. He served as a juryman in 1635. In 1637, Thomas was granted the marsh before the house he liveth in which Mrs. Fuller doth not use and the little parcell at the wading place on the other side of the Jones River (now Kingston). He resided there the rest of his life.
     In 1645, he purchsed the Prence's farm at Jones River (now known as Rocky Nook in Kingston) by echanging land at Sowams for it for £75. The house was loacted in the area known as Elder's Spring. In 1649 Thomas was appointed to the office of Ruling Elder of the Church at Plymouth. He held this position for over forty-three years.
At his death, Thomas was buried at the southerly brow of Burying Hill. His grave stone was erected by the Plymouth Churchm twenty-four years after his death. The inscriptions reads " Here lyeth buried Ye Body of that precious servant of God; Thomas Cushman who after he had served his generation according to the will of God particularly the Church of Plymouth for many years in the Office of a Ruling Elder, fell asleep in Jeasus, Decmr Ye 10 1691 and in Ye 84 year of his age."
