his age
William Cutter

Born: 22 February 1649/50 Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts
Died: 1 April 1723 Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts

Buried: April 1723, Old Burying Ground, Cambridge, MA

Married: Rebecca Rolfe by 1680

Occupation: carpenter, housewright, farmer, miller

Biography:
He married Rebecca Rolfe, but no record of the date of the marriage has been found. William and wife were admitted to membership in Cambridge church, July 28, 1700; and a cherished relic, the famly Bible, bears marked evidence of frequent use. His residence was in that part of the town which formed the district called Menotomy [Arlington, MA], and on the banks of the stream flowing from Lexington through Arlington into Mystic River. Here, on the occasion of his father-in-law's death, he received from the estate an acre of land.  Later, April 10, 1684, he purchased of John Rolfe, Jr., four additional acres, on which he built the house, afterwards his son John's, which formerly stood on the site of the present residence of his descendant, Cyrus Cutter. This land was the "west corner" of the Rolfes' homestead, and with the purchase William had "liberty to build a dam for the convenience of the mill" near his house, together with "the half part of a sawmill" on Sergeant Francis Whitmore's estate also. He dwelt in the house mentioned, it appears, until he sold it for £60 to his son John, April 9, 1717, with ten acres of land "adjoyning the place called the 'Rocks,' and lying on both sides of the mill brook." 

Vacating these premises, he removed to that comfortable old-fashioned house of two stories, once doubtless the home of the "Rolfes,"  . . . While undergoing demolition, ca. 1844, a beam, the support of a fire-place, was removed from the chimney, inscribed with the figures, "1671;" the probable date of its erection by its builder and first occupant, the father-in-law of William, John Rolfe.  From William, it passed through four generations of his descendants . . . 

William was an heir of his father's estate and an executor of his will. A carpenter or "house-wright" by profession, he was also somewhat of an husbandman, and dealt largely in real estate, as the multitude of deeds and other documents in which he is mentioned bear evidence. He did not confine his land speculations to his immediate neighborhood, but sometimes extended his operations to other localities, and in several instances gave mortgages. In addition to these pursuits he appears o have added that of a miller, and carried on this business in mills erected on the banks of the stream near his house. . . . 

William Cutter was respectfully affluent. His will and inventory are curious and interesting documents. The former exhibits good sense and paternal care; the latter minutely commerates the pecuniary value of his "moveable estate."  Choice passages of scripture inscribed in his chirography on the fly leaves of the famly Bible reveal his general religious sentiments.
  • Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the mornng: Psalm 30.5
  • Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men Psalm 59.2
  • Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears; for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. 
  • O spare me, that I may recover strength before I go hence, and be no more, Psalm 39.12.13 William Cutter 1708
  • Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: I Chron. 29.11
  • Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul: Psalm 25:1
  • Vanity of Vanities, Saith the Preacher, Vanity of vanities; all is vanity: what profit hath a man of all his Labour which he taketh under the Sun: : one generation passeth away and another cometh; but the world abideth forever.
  • It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes: Psalm 119.71
  • When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. Prov. 11.2
  • O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure Psalm 38:1
  • He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Prov. 29.1
He was buried beside his parents at Old Cambridge, where his gravestone is still standing. [Cutter, Benjamin. A History of the Cutter Family of New England, Boston, MA: David Clapp & Son 1871.]
