Origins on the Rule of Law
by Jim Sharrock
As we approach Thanksgiving, I am reflecting back to July 1 this year. When others were thinking about the upcoming celebration of our nation’s birth, I was thinking about an earlier time that put us on the path towards independence.
Nancy and I were driving to the Providence airport, returning from the wedding of a friend held on Cape Cod. We took a detour to follow up on a suggestion made by my sister Jane, an amateur genealogist.
We drove to Burial Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where we visited the Cushman Monument, a large obelisk, dedicated by the descendants of Robert Cushman in 1855.
The monument also has plaques for Robert’s son Thomas and Thomas’s wife, Mary Allerton. Mary was a passenger on the Mayflower. She was four at the time of the crossing, and when she died at the age of 83, she was the last surviving passenger. Thomas and Mary are my 9th generation grandparents
Robert was on the Mayflower when it sailed to meet its sister ship, the Speedwell. The Speedwell turned out not to be seaworthy, so the Mayflower passenger group was reorganized. Robert stayed in London to serve as the colony’s principal agent. He came to Plymouth in 1621, bringing his son Thomas with him. READ MORE
