Birth and death data from "The Genealogy of the Cushing Family "

"Genealogy of the Needham Family"
Thomas Cushing, M.D.
"Father of Lt. Frank Cushing; The Lt. Cushing who sank the rebel ram Albemarle was another cousin."
The claim that Enos fathered a Frank is curious, as it is not supported by the Cushing genealogy.
Since Thomas Cushing, MD, likely was the son of Enos, I assume that Hawley Needham incorrectly
annotated his copy of the work.
