William Cushing (March 1, 1732 – September 13, 1810) was one of the original five associate justices of the United States Supreme Court; confirmed by the United States Senate on September 26, 1789, he served until his death.[2] His Supreme Court tenure of 20 years and 11 months was the longest among the Court's inaugural members.[3] In January 1796, he was nominated by President George Washington to become the Court's Chief Justice; though confirmed, he declined the appointment.[2] He was the last judge in the United States to wear a full wig (Court dress).[4][5]
