Hayward Peirce was born at the family homestead in South Scituate, still standing [1905] and held by his children. “At the early age of 14, he left home to begin his business life in Boston with the firm of Silas Peirce and Co., dealers in West India goods and groceries. For 35 years he was connected with this firm, until his retirement as its senior member in Dec 1862. His filial devotion and love of home and family were marked characteristics. His later years were spent in generous service for others and although he held no public office, his life was still an active one. Whatever he attempted he carried out with great thoroughness to the end, and no work left his hand which did not bear the mark of his fine perception and unerring jusgment. A man of scrupulous integrity, he won the esteem of all whith whom he came in contact. A keen judge of men and of affairs, his counsels were widely sought and highly valued, and he filled with exceptional fidelity many positions of trust.”2

63949. Nathan Cushing. Born on 29 May 1814 in Scituate, MA.52 Nathan was baptized in the Second Church of Scituate, on 2 Oct 1814.335 Nathan died in Norwell, MA, on 9 Aug 1903; he was 89.2

“At the age of 16 Nathan left home to accept a position as clerk in a firm of grocers in Boston, and in a few years had so thoroughly mastered the business that he was enabled to open a wholesale establishment, and the firm of Cushing and Clapp became well known among Boston’s mercantile housess. In 1863, on the retirement of his elder brother, Hayward, from the firm of Silas Peirce and Co. (founded in 1805 and still existing [1905]) he accepted the place as senior partner of that firm. At the close of 1871, he resigned this position and retired from active business life. He still retained, however, his interest in affairs, as he was the trustee of several large estates, which he managed with the same business ability which he had shown in mercantile life. He was distinguished for his well balanced judgment and keen intellectual interests. Never bound by conventional opinions, his independence of thought was a marked characteristic. He became a warm adherent of Theodore Parker, and attended his services in West Roxbury when every Boston pulpit was closed to him. He was also an earnest advocate for the abolition of slavery in the early years before the Civil War. With a memory of remarkable accuracy, combined with a natural love for the best reading, his life was a noteworthy example of the results of continual self-culture. He had a deep love of nature and reverence for her laws, and was much devoted to his early country home.”2
