His long and explicitwill was dated 26 September, 1492, and proved in the Bishop's Court of Norwich, 11 March, 1493.

There are several conflicting items regarding William Cushing and his family that were pointed out in reference. The spelling of his wife's name Emma. In William's will the spelling of his wife's name on sevenoccurrences were Emme, not Emma which appears in reference . The will indicates only 3 daughters (Elyne, Annable and Agnes) leaving out Margaret which appears in reference. The date of the will agrees with the date given in the 1877 edition of the Genealogy but shows another date in reference.
