From the Officers of the Continental and U.S. Navy and Marines 1775-1900.
I have been writing a lot in the past month on the four Cushings from the same family, three of whom made quite a name for themselves: William, Alonzo and Howard (the last two being in the Army Artillery).
William and Milton Cushing were in the Navy, but upon looking up the name Cushing, I found quite a few others in the Navy during the war.
CHARLES C. CUSHING: Acting Ensign on Admiral Lee's staff November 1864. Honorably discharged 3 October 1865.
EDMUND H. CUSHING: Acting Assistant paymaster, 30 June 1863. Passed Asst. Paymaster 23 July 1866, Paymaster 16 September 1868. Died on USS Tuscarora 11 March 1869.
HENRY CUSHING: Acting Assistant Paymaster 29 July 1862. Discharged 3 October 1865.
MILTON CUSHING: (brother of William) Acting Assistant Paymaster 20 August 1864, Passed Assistant Paymaster 23 July 1866, Paymaster 12 March 1869. Retired List 1 April 1882. Died 1 June 1887.
