Biographical
Manasseh Cutler was born May 3, 1742, in Killingly, Connecticut,
and died July 28, 1823, in Hamilton, Massachusetts. In 1765
he graduated from Yale college with high honors, and commenced the
study of law. In 1767 he was admitted to the Massachusetts bar and
for some time practiced his profession in Edgartown. • Finding the profession uncongenial, he gave it up and removed to Dedham where he
studied theology under the direction of the Rev. Thomas Balch, whose
daughter he had married. In 1770 he was licensed and preached for six
months as a candidate at Hamlet parish (then a part of Ipswich). He
was ordained a minister of the Congregational society and installed as
pastor in Hamlet parish on September 11, 1771, and remained with this
association until his death.
Soon after the battle of Lexington he addressed the minute-men
then mustering in Ipswich and accompanied them to Cambridge, where he
saw the British as they retreated into Boston. In September he was
commissioned a chaplain in the Continental army and served under
Colonel Ebenezer Francis, of the 11th Massachusetts regiment. For
gallantry in action in Rhode Island on August 28, 1778, he was presented with a fine horse by his commander.
Tpward the close of the war, the physician of Hamlet parish
being with the army, Mr. Cutler studied medicine, soon mastering the
science, and for a number of years attended to both the physical and
spiritual wants of his people. He was the first to examine the flora
of New England , inspecting and classifying over 350 species according
to the Linnaean system. His published papers on this subject were the
first attempts at scientific description of the plants of New England.
In 1781 he was elected a member pf the American academy and contributed
to its proceedings among others the following papers: "On the Transit
of Mercury over the Sun, November 12, 1782;" "On the Eclipse of the
Moon, March 29, 1782, and of the Sun in the following April;" Meteorological Observations 1781-82-83;" "An Account of Some of the Vegetable Productions Naturally Growing in This Part of America," etc.
In 1784 Dr. Cutler with six others ascended the White mountains.
They were the first to reach the summit. Dr. Cutler carried instruments with him and made the first computation of the height of the
mountains.
In 1787 Dr. Cutler became associated with a number of Revolutionary officers who had determined to settle in the west, with a
view to having their bounty lands located together.
At a meeting held at Brackett's Tavern , Boston, March 8, 1787,
by these officers who had formed a company to be known as the Ohio
Company, General Samuel H. Parsons, General Rufus Putnam and the
Rev. Manasseh Cutler were unanimously chosen as directors for the company, "and that it should be their duty immediately to make application to the honorable congress for a private purchase of lands, and
under such descriptions as they shall deem adequate to the purposes
o
o
of the company."
Dr. Manasseh Cutler, owing to sickness , was not present when
elected a director, but on March 16, 1787, as soon as notified, he
wrote Major Winthrop Sargent:
"I entirely approve of the proposition which General Putnam
proposes should be made to congress, and join with him in requesting
General Parsons to make application to that honorable body as soon as
possible."
General Parsons appeared before congress, but was not successful, and thereupon Dr. Cutler, under the authority conferred, on June
24, 1787, set out on horseback to present the Ohio Company's request
to congress. On July 5th, he arrived in New York and commenced his
work, and on July 13, 1787, the ordinance since known as the Ordinance
of 1787 was passed.
All previous ordinances relating to the Northwest Territory were
silent on the question of slavery, none breathed of education or of
the fundamental principles of civil and religious liberty, those
great principles which have since distinguished the ordinance as
"one of the greatest monuments of civil jurisprudence."
Four days after Dr. Cutler's advent before congress, that body
on July 9th appointed a new committee to consider the Western Territory. Edward Carrington of Virginia was appointed chairman; Nathan
Dane and Mr. Smith had been on the old committee, but a new man was
now made leader. Dr. Cutler appeared before the committee and his
work and that of Edward Carrington was not a revision of the old
ordinances. An inspection of the new ordinance compared with the old,
shows that "they prepared and reported the great bill of rights for
the territory northwest of the Ohio."
In 1795, Dr. Cutler was appointed a judge of the United States
court for Ohio by President George Washington, but declined. He was
afterwards a member of the Massachusetts house of representatives
and was elected from that state to the seventh and eighth congresses
of the United States as a federalist.
His Journals and Papers
Beginning in 1762 while at Yale college, Dr. Cutler kept a diary
and a jou-znal. Each day he wrote what happened. Many of his journals are in the Almanack, common at that day, and for many years
thereafter. These portray events and conditions not generally set out
in our early histories.
Through the efforts of Colonel Ephraim C. Dawes, now deceased, a
descendant, most of Dr. Cutler's papers have been collected. Some are
still missing. It is hoped that when found they will be sent to Mr.
Charles G. Da wes of Chicago, the owner, who has had these old journals,
aged letters and parchments carefully cared for, and through the skill
and art of Ernest Hertzberg & Sons, binders of Chicago, they have been
made practically as good as new.
1
The chief features of this collection are:
1. From 1762 until 1819, all of the Journals are in the handwriting of one man, Dr. Manasseh Cutler.
2. The most absorbing interest is that they deal with the formulative and creative period of that great "American Charter" of
which Daniel Webster said: "We are accustomed to praise the lawgivers of antiquity; we help to perpetuate the fame of Solon and Lycurgus, but I doubt that one single law, ancient or modern, has produced effects of more distinct, marked and lasting character than the
ordinance of 1787."
