Son of Nathaniel Cushing and Mehitable Dodge. Grandson of Nathaniel Cushing and Lucy Turner, Rev Ezekiel Dodge and Mary Goddard.

Husband of Delia Sawyer, the daughter of Captain David and Mary Haldane of Boston. They married 28 Jun 1815 and had eight children:
* Polly Haldane Cushing, Mrs Charles Wood Ricketson 1816-1872
* Captain Nathaniel Cushing 1818-1864
* Delia Sawyer Cushing, Mrs Julius Cushman 1820-1828
* David Sawyer Cushing 1721-1823
* Lucy Cushing, Mrs Edward Lloyd West 1824-1899
* Ellen Dodge Cushing 1826-1827
* Ellen Dodge Cushing, Mrs William Wallace Mair 1828 - aft 1861

Ezekiel attended Harvard College, 1811, then St. Thomas Hospital, London, and the Paris Hospital, when Paris was occupied by the Allies. He settled in Boston, then Hanover. "Dr Ezekiel D. Cushing was in Hanover from 1827 to 1828 when he deceased. He lived at 'Four Corners'. He was a man of eminent abilities, had practiced in the best hospitals in France; and was every way qualified to prosecute with distinguished success the brilliant career which opened before him. His early death was a melancholy event to his friends; and in him the public lost one who, had he lived, would doubtless have made himself conspicuous, and have ranked among the greatest and best physicians and surgeons of the age."
