I've got copies of three pictures that have ties to the Cushman family. As some background information my mother's father's mother's mother was Mary Cushman. I have three pictures that my grandfather was going to throw out but I was able to get him to let me have them.

Picture #1 shows a William Cushman seated with an Alice Corbett at his side. I believe this may be a picture of father and daughter but can't be sure.

Picture #2 is of a Fred and Allie Corbett. Is Allie and Alice one in the same?

Picture #3 shows a Chloe Cushman and I believe her husband alongside my g-grandfather and grandfather. No name on the man standing next to Chloe but I believe it to be her husband.

Our family lived in Michigan so I believe these pictures may be in Michigan or possibly Canada since my gg-grandmother, Mary Cushman was born in Canada as well as my g-grandfathers (Meech). I'm hoping that someone out there may recognize the name relationships and can put 2 and 2 together for me. Any input is greatly appreciated. Also I have these pictures scanned into my computer so if someone were interested in seeing them I can attach them in an e-mail.

Ladyravenlore: It would help us help you, if you could provide more information.For example, you say your mother's father's mother's mother was Mary Cushman. Do you have a birth date/place, marriage date/place, or death date/place for her? Can you give us the name of her husband along with this same detail? Do you have any idea when the photos were taken?

You mention your grand father and great grandfather but provide no name or identifying info (as above).

Be glad to put some effort into this for you if you can provide us with what you already know.

My mother's father was Harry Marvin Meech. His parents were Harry Garfield Meech and Frances Nancy Fisher. Frances Fisher's were William Fisher and Mary Cushman. William Fisher was born in NY about 1844 and Mary Cushman was born in Canada on 3 Jun 1844. At some point which I haven't found yet the Cushman's immigrated to Michigan in the Otsego area. I found them in the 1860 census. The Fisher's moved to the Richland area of Michigan somewhere between 1850 and 1860 since they were in NY in the 1850 census and Michigan in 1860. I have a picture of Mary taken in 1906 but do not have a date when she died.

The picture I have of William Cushman and Alice Corbett was taken in 1916. It was taken in a photo studio but I don't know where. It was in amongst a bunch of old family photos.

The picture of Chloe Cushman I figure was taken around 1920 since my g-grandfather Harry Garfield Meech and a young Harry Marvin Meech (my grandfather) are in it with an unknown man. I have these pictures on my computer and can attach them in a e-mail if you think that might help.

ladyraenlore: Your Mary Cushman, b. in Canada West on 3 Jun 1844 is a direct descendant of Robert Cushman of Kent, b.1577, one of the organizers of the Mayflower voyage to New England. Write me directly if you want details about here line down from Robert of Kent. I also have her siblings, but nothing more.

She was daughter of William Cushman and Delilah C (Ridder) Cushman. She is listed at page 587 of the Henry Wyles Cushman book, A Historical and Biographical Genealogy of the Cushmans: Descendants of Robert Cushman, the Puritan, From the Year 1617 to 1855: Boston: Little, Brown & Co.1855.
and in the Ontario (Canada) Gen Web Census project (1851 census).

Would love to have copies of pic of William Cushman and Cloe Cushman, if you can share them.
