2 THE HANSON TUNK Page 2 Col. Elijah Cushing and his slaves Boston and Margaret Pegg by Mary Blauss Edwards Elijah Cushing ( ) was a leading figure in local town, church, military, and court matters. He descended from the wealthy Cushing family of Scituate and married Elizabeth (Barstow) Barker on 7 January 1725 in the Second Congregational Church in Scituate (now the First Unitarian Church in Norwell). Elijah had a house built on a 500 acre tract of land owned by his father John Cushing, today located at 89 East Washington Street in Hanson, which was part of Hanover that was annexed to Pembroke in Two separate construction dates are suggested in the records, either 1724 (which a sign on the Cushing house states) or A construction date of 1724 would indicate construction on the house began in honor of his upcoming marriage, a common practice at the time. If it was built in 1730, it coincided with Elijah becoming a major shareholder of the South Hanover forge that same year. For twenty years this business was very successful and, when Cushing sold his share of the forge property in 1757, it consisted of the forge as well as a coal house, dam, and gristmill. After Elijah s marriage, the Hanover town clerk recorded seven children born to Elijah and Elizabeth between 1725 and When Hanover was incorporated from Scituate in 1727 and a new church, the Hanover Congregational Church, formed, Elijah Cushing and his family became founding members; they later joined Gad Hitchcock s congregation. Elijah was appointed to the building committee to construct the Hanover church building in 1728 and served as a deacon. Elijah served Hanover as a selectman, treasurer, and as Hanover s first Representative in He also served as Justice of the Peace and Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. During the French and Indian Wars he served as a local militia leader, obtaining the title Honorable Captain, Lieutenant Colonel Elijah Cushing. Elijah Cushing served as an agent for the Second Precinct of Pembroke petitioning that the section of Hanover where he resided become a part of Pembroke, which was granted in The Genealogy of the Cushing Family summarized his service thusly: He was one to whom much of the public business of the Town was confided, and he executed his trust with fidelity and success. Elijah Cushing owned two adult slaves named Boston and Margaret. It is uncertain if they were sold or born into slavery. Elijah s father John owned a slave named Judith who married James (continued on page 3..)
3 THE HANSON TUNK Page 3 ( continued from page 2) negro in 1701; they may have been the parents of either Boston or Margaret. Boston labored on the Cushing farm and probably also assisted at the forge and mill. Margaret, commonly called Pegg by the family, performed numerous domestic duties including housework, helping to care for the Cushing children, cooking meals, and attending Elijah s wife, Elizabeth Cushing. Both Pegg and Boston resided with the family in the Cushing house. Pegg had a child born in the mid-1730s who died young in Boston and Pegg were married in 1741 by Hanover s Rev. Benjamin Bass, either at the Cushing house or at the Hanover church. Love of Freedom: Black Women in Colonial and Revolutionary New England describes a typical New England slave wedding: Sometimes the bride wore a special dress given to her by her mistress and the groom might be given a suit of clothes by his master. The husband was expected to pay a fee to the minister for performing the service, but some masters paid the minister s fee or a minister returned the payment to the bride as a wedding present. After the ceremony guests dance to the music of a fiddle player, feasted, and toasted the happy couple with rum or cider. While the church encouraged slave marriages, it was a complicated arrangement a husband and wife owned by separate owners could not live together; a husband and wife owned by the same master could be separated by sale; and children born to the couple could be sold. Elijah Cushing s arrangement with his slaves provides a look at additional complications: Cushing approved of their wedding performed by his own minister, giving legitimacy to future children born to the couple, but he did not encourage or allow them to become members of the church. In comparison, Elijah s younger half-brother, Josiah Cushing, allowed his slaves to be active participants in the Hanson Congregational Church. Pegg and Boston had at least two children who died young in the 1740s at the Cushing house. Since none of their children were baptized and Cushing did not register their births with the Hanover or Pembroke town clerks, it is uncertain if Pegg and Boston had surviving children. If they did, slave children in New England were typically sold by their mother s owner after they were six years old or were sometimes given to the slaveowner s immediate family as wedding presents. It is possible that Lilly, baptized in 1768 by Rev. Gad Hitchcock as a negro woman belonging to Lt. Elijah Cushing (continued on page 4 )
4 THE HANSON TUNK Page 4 ( continued from page 3) [Jr.], was a daughter of Pegg and Boston inherited by Lt. Elijah Cushing Jr., a son of Elijah and Elizabeth Cushing. In 1765, when Lt. Elijah Cushing Jr. s second wife Anne Thomas walked up the broad aisle of the West Parish meeting house on a Sunday wearing her trailing robes of black silk or satin, the train was borne by a colored slave, perhaps Pegg or Lilly. Elijah Cushing s house was the social center for miles around With slaves to do his bidding, he entertained lavishly with gay house parties and joyful occasions of all sorts. The Cushing house is perhaps best remembered as the wedding location of Elijah and Elizabeth Cushing s daughter Mary Cushing to Benjamin Lincoln, who later served as George Washington s second-in-command during the Revolution. Boston and Pegg would have been intimately involved in these wedding preparations and celebrations as well as the mundane day-to-day work of running a farm and homestead. Boston died at the Cushing house in 1760, his age unrecorded. Shortly thereafter, Elijah Cushing prepared his will, giving to his wife Elizabeth Cushing my negro woman named Pegg. Elijah died in 1762, and his widow Elizabeth survived him another twenty years, dying in the Cushing house in Slavery legally ended in Massachusetts in A negro woman named Pegg, who may have been Elijah and Elizabeth Cushing s former slave, died in Pembroke in However, Elijah s brother Josiah Cushing also had a slave named Pegg who was a similar age, so this Pegg s identity is uncertain. Although no graves mark Boston and Pegg s place of burial they were probably buried in Fern Hill Cemetery. The Elisha Cushing House in Courtesy of the Hanson Historical Photograph Collection.
