7767. Benjamin Loring. Born ca 1662 in Hull, MA.107

Benjamin is possibly the father of Matthew who died at Hull 16 Oct 1714, aged 30, son of Benjamin and Mary.109
7768. Hannah Loring. Born on 9 Aug 1664 in Hull, MA.45 Hannah was baptized in Hingham, MA, on 2 Apr 1665.45 Hannah died in Scituate, MA, on 30 May 1710; she was 45.52 Buried in First Parish Cemetery, Scituate Harbor.

Hannah first maried Jeremiah Cushing, second John Barker. Jeremiah and Hannah were second cousins. His maternal grandfathter and her maternal grandmother were siblings.

The Loring family Bible, printed in London in 1599 and brought from England by Thomas Loring, descended in the family of his granddaughter Hannah (Loring) Cushing.109
On 5 Jun 1685 when Hannah was 20, she first married Rev. Jeremiah Cushing (10027) , son of Daniel Cushing Esq (15313) (ca 1619-3 Dec 1700) & Lydia Gilman (3375) (say 1623-12 Mar 1688/9), in Hingham, MA.45 Born on 3 Jul 1654 in Hingham, MA.45 Jeremiah was baptized on 9 Jul 1654.25 Jeremiah died in Scituate, MA 22 Mar 1705/6.52 Buried in First Parish Cemetery, Scituate Harbor. Education: Harvard 1676.

Jeremiah preached at Haverhill, then ordained at Scituate 27 May 1691.25

From Deane’s History of Scituate:53
    Jeremiah received his degree at Harvard College in 1676. He was educated for the ministry under the direction of Mr. Norton of Hingham. He was not immediately in the ministry. He received an invitation to become the pastor of Haverhill in 1682, which he declined. He began to preach in Scituate in February 1691, and was ordained there on the 27th of May the same year. His salary was £60. Besides this, the Conihassett partners made him a gift of twenty acres of land. It was laid out in 1694, adjoining the lands of John Curtis and Henry Merritt. He purchased John Curtis's house in 1698, and probably resided in it, and rented the parsonage. It stood between Timothy White's and the harbour.
    We have few materials for composing a life of Mr Cushing, and no data by which we may compare the success of his ministry with that of his predecessors or successors, all the Church records during his time being lost. For the want of another Cotton Mather, obscurity must rest upon many ministers of that period. Mather could swell the lives of ordinary men into very respectable dimensions.
    The term of Mr Cushing's ministry was short, he having deceased March 22, 1705, in the fifty-first year of his age and the fourteenth of his ministry. There is a monument ot his memory in the old burying ground near the harbour. He suffered a lingering illness, having been obliged to suspend his labours for several months.

Jeremiah was also a minister at Provincetown, for several years before 1700, but probably only preached to the transient population in the fishing season.2

From the Loring Genealogy, pages 22–23:107
    Caleb Loring learned the trade of weaver, and was so called in lawsuit in 1698. He later became a physician, by what process of education records do not show. He made his home first at Plymouth. Bought a tract of land in 1697. Was chosen constable, that is tax collector and court officer, March 6, 1698-9. Had a grant of land from the town July 31, 1699,—‘Eastward of the Road Neer New Streete and by the fence side which was sometime Mr Nath: Clarks fence: to dig a well Not to exceed 5 foot into the lane from sd fence.’ This was in partnership with Mr. Little.
    He was member of a town committee the same year; a member of the Grand Jury in 1701-2 and in 1703 member of another jury.
    He bought a farm of Stephen Bryant in the part of Plymouth which was set off and formed the town of Plympton four years later. This estate was on the east side of Jones River Brook, where that stream crosses the highway in the north part of Plympton.
    He was on a committee to recommend a plan for the disposition of the cedar swamp lands in 1704; one of the selectmen 1704-7, and constable again in 1706. December 31, 1707, one of a committee to build a new bridge over Jones River. In 1725 he, with Dea. Isaac Cushman, petitioned the General Court of Plymouth colony protesting aginst the sale of certain lands by the town of Plymouth in which Plympton had a share; asking that their share might be paid over to Plympton for the support of a grammar school; but the petition was not granted.
    Dr. Loring was one of the proprietors of a forge for the reduction of bog iron ore and a foundry; a local poet, with kind thoughts of the doctor but with different opinions of other members of the company, perpetrated this rhyme:
    ‘Freeheart and Gripehard
    And Conning and Catch
    Built them a forge
    To make themselves rich.’
    The forge continued in operation a long time. Dr. Loring continued the same prominence in Plympton affairs he had had at Plymouth, being selectman, assessor, moderator, surveyor of lands and captain of militia at various times. He had considerable medical practice and was never secure from calls; so that he had a door cut in the wall of the meetinghouse close by his pew, so that he could come in and go without disturbing the congregation in meeting time.
On 7 Aug 1696 when Caleb was 22, he married Lydia Gray, daughter of Dr. Edward Gray (ca 1629-30 Jun 1681) & Dorothy Lettice (-1728), in Plymouth, MA. Born 12 Mar 1677./8 in Plympton, MA. Lydia died in Plympton, MA on 28 Mar 1771.308 Buried in Plympton, MA GR1.
