I came across an article today in the New England Historical Society Email Newsletter about Charlotte.
I remember seeing her name in my family tree on the Cushman side somewhere.
I did a little climbing of the branches and came upon our relation to each other.
Another of my New England kin from my mother's family tree.

Charlotte led a very interesting life and by all accounts was very famous in her time.
Read on for her story (taken from the article from the NEHS email newsletter and a few other sources) and a few tidbits from yours truly.......
