He was a delegate to the Plymouth County Congress, held at Plympton 26 Sep 1774 and one of the signers of the manifesto issued at the Plymouth Congress 4 Oct 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 Dec 1870 we have the following record: ‘Ordered that Natahn 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.”48
