Usher Family Genealogy

Sophron Usher
January 29, 1792

In the memorial to Roland G. Usher, page 78, it states: 
"The writer has in his possession a chart, made by his mother, Melissa Usher (Whitmore, page 9), about 1850, of the descendants and brothers of Hezekiah Usher, who died in 1750, from information furnished her by Sophron Usher of Chatham, Connecticut. Sophron Usher had this information, by tradition, from his father, Dr. Robert (1743-1820), at whose house the widow, Abigail Cleveland Usher, spent her last days, and where Sophron was born and always resided. This chart indicates that Hezekiah Usher, the father of Dr. Robert, had two brothers, John and Robert, both younger than himself, and that Robert was "Killed by the Indians."
