Early life

Cutter was born in 1705 to William Cutter and Rebecca Whitmore.[2] He was the youngest of their seven known children, and was baptized on May 6.[3]

He graduated from Harvard College in 1725.[3]

Career

In 1729, Cutter was ordained the first pastor of the new Meetinghouse under the Ledge, in what was then North Yarmouth, Province of Massachusetts Bay (now Yarmouth, Maine).[4] He and his family lived at the parsonage at today's 60 Gilman Road (now known as the Cutter House), around 150 yards to the east of where the church formerly stood, which was garrisoned during the Indian wars.[5]

He preached his first sermon, as candidate, on November 10, 1729, in a "convenient house for the public worship of God". The church was formally organized on November 18 the following year.[6] He remained in the town for seven years as a physician.[7]

In 1735, he was dismissed from his role due to alleged Arminianism. His forthright liberal views were at odds with the congregation's Calvinist persuasions.[1] They also found his "creed [was] becoming offensive".[7]

He later became captain of a company in Sir William Pepperrell's Duc d'Anville expedition. His command was attached to colonel Jeremiah Moulton's regiment from York County. After the capture of that fort, he was detailed to remain as surgeon.[8]

Personal life

Cutter married Dorothy Bradbury on August 14, 1734, in Newbury, Province of Massachusetts Bay. She was the sister of Moses Bradbury, an early town resident.[7] They had four known children, including Dr. Ammi Ruhamah Cutter (1735–1820), a fellow graduate of Harvard College.[9]

Death

Cutter died of dysentery in March 1746 while in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, Canada (New France). His remains were returned to North Yarmouth by corporal Benjamin Morgridge.[5] His wife survived him by thirty years; she died in 1776, aged 68.[7]
