From The Genealogy of the Cushing Family, page 117:2
    Nathan graduated from Harvard College in 1763. “He was first a preacher and afterwards a lawyer. 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.
