Notes
General:
Nathan graduated from Harvard College in 1763. He was first a preacher and afterwards a lawyer. He was also Justice of Massachusetts State Supreme Court. He was a delegate to the Plymouth County Congress, held at Plympton, 26 September 1774, and one of the signers of the Manifesto issued at the Plymouth Congress, 4 October 1774. In 1776 he was appointed Judge of Admiralty, and with great firmness condemned the captured British vessels, which brought him into notoriety as a patriot. He was appointed Judge of the Supreme Court in 1789, in which office he continued until 1801, when he resigned. He was afterwards a counsellor of the State. "He was a gentleman of noble form, commanding countenance and courteous manners, distinguished more for solid judgment and discretion than for eloquence." When Massachusetts became a State, action was taken by the Legislature on the subject of a state seal and under date of 13 December 1870, we have the following record:
"Ordered that Nathan Cushing be a committee to prepare a seal for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." His report was afterwards accepted and the device he recommended is still in use as the Arms of Massachusetts.
