Ezekiel lived in Provincetown until 1738, after which he removed to Cape Elizabeth (then Falmouth), Me. He was coroner in 1727 and 1729. The house in which he lived at Cushing’s Point, now in South Portland, was still standing in 1760. He owned Cushing’s Island in Portland Harbor, and sold it to Joshua Bangs, 14 Sep 1760, by whose name is was known until 1859, when it was purchased by Lemuel Cushing, of Montreal, Can., who gave it its present name. He also owned the greater part of Long Island with Marsh and Overset Islands in Portland Harbor, and he bequeathed them in his will to his children. He was a merchant and was extensively engaged in the fisheries and the West India trade, owning many schooners and sloops. His large mercantile establishment was on the point bearing his name, a few rods east of the breakwater and at the western extremity of the sandy cove west of Fort Preble. It is authoritatively stated that during his time, there was more commercial business carried on the Cape Elizabeth shore than on the Falmouth side. He was active and prominent in the affairs of the settlement, and became one of the most respected as well as distinguished men in Portland neighborhood. He commanded the regiment of the county, then the highest office in Maine, and in 1757 ws able to furnish 50 men from his regiment to defend the inhabitants form the Indians and afterwards provide 100 to protect the Commissioners when arranging terms of peace with them. He was selectman of the town nine years, and justice of the peace 1756, 1760, and 176; Justice of the Court of Common Pleas 1760 to 1763, and filled other important offices. Gov. Shirley dined at Col. Cushing’s 23 Jul 1754. He took a prominent part in the religious dissensions which broke out in the Church there, and in 1756 was a leader of the opposition to the installation of the Rev. Ephraim Clark over the Church. After the installation he was set off to the first parish where he afterwards attended, though just previous to his death he petitioned the General Court and was restored to his own precinct.
