896 IV JOHN PAINE, Hon.7 (2077) b. in Pomfret, Conn., 8 Mch. 1794. He traced his descent in a direct line from Robert Cushman, the Puritan; his father, the Hon. Isaac Cushman, being the sixth descendant of that remarkable man, so justly denominated "the right hand of the adventurers."

She d. at the age of 70.

The eldest son of Isaac Cushman, having chosen the profession of the law, it was considered desirable that his youngest should remain with his father on the farm, but his strong predilection for intellectual pursuits overcame the reluctance of his parents to relinquish their cherished purpose of retaining him, and facilities for the acquisition of a liberal education were cheerfully accorded, with a view to the legal profession.
