    Seth kept an inn in the dwelling now [1877] owned and occupied by heirs of William O. Lincoln, on North, near Lincoln St., but removed from here, as tradition says, to Stoughton, Mass. An ancient deed, dated 26 Feb 1753, is a conveyance from Seth Cushing, inn-holder, in consideration of 196 pounds, current money of New England, to Jedidiah Lincoln, his dwelling-house and other property; which is supposed to be about the time of his removal.

Lydia was not mentioned in her father’s will, and that suggests that she had died before he wrote it in 1718, four days before he died. That could be an inadvertant omission, however, since a Lydia Cushing, otherwise unaccounted for, married at Beverly in 1726 Joshua Herrick, son of Joseph Herrick who had married Lydia’s mother Mary at Beverly in 1722, and Lydia’s sister Deborah had married at Beverly earlier in 1726 Joshua Corning.
