| The
first physician in Youngstown of whom we have any authentic
information, was Dr. Charles Dutton, who came here in
1801 with a party of emigrants from Connecticut. He was
born in Wallingford, that state, in 1777, and had had a thorough
medical education for those days. The party with which he
came was under the direction of TURHAND KIRTLAND,
one of the notable pioneers of Trumbull county, and with their
goods, filled three four-horse covered wagons. The doctor,
who was just then ready to begin practice, seems to have been of
a somewhat e4ccentric disposition. He decided to accompany
the emigrants and joined them at the last moment, jumping to the
wagon with a patriotic song on his lips, possibly to disguise
his real feelings at leaving his aged mother and relatives, of
whom he seemed to take little notice. On reaching the
Reserve, he selected Youngstown as the most promising location
in which to settle, and securing a place of residence, at once
began practice. In July, 1802, he purchased for $200 a
tract of 200 acres of land on West Federal street, near Spring
Common, on which he at first built a log house, and afterwards a
frame house, in which latter he resided for the rest of his
life. He also purchased other lands near the village, and
the latter years of his life were devoted chiefly to farming and
stock-raising. He was the second postmaster of Youngstown,
being appointed in July, 1803, and holding the office until Mar.
9, 1818. He seems to have been well fitted by nature for
life in a pioneer community - of shrewd judgment, prompt in
action and though somewhat rough in manner, of strong social
proclivities. His brother physicians regarded him as an
able man in his profession, if at times somewhat heroic in
treatment. Yet he was generally liked and respected as an
active, useful, and substantial member of the community.
Dr. Dutton was twice married. His first wife,
Cynthia, died in 1816, leaving one child, Jane, who
became the wife of Dr. Lemuel Wick.
He married for his second wife, in April, 1822, Miss Cordelia
Poole, of Youngstown. He died in March, 1842, his wife
surviving him several years.
DR. HENRY MANNING
was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, Jan. 31, 1787. He came
of old Massachusetts stock, and through his paternal
grandmother, whose maiden name was Seabury, claimed descent from
Governor Bradford of the Plymouth colony. He was
brought up on his father's farm, and at intervals attended an
academy at Colchester, Connecticut. Beginning at the age
of twenty, he studied medicine two years under Dr. Hutchinson,
of Lebanon, and one year under Dr. White, of Cherry
Valley, New York. During this period, and previously, a

years. He had worked in rolling mills in his native land,
and after coming to Youngstown continued in that occupation for

him some practice in amateur surgery, even in his early years,
and had moreover given a bent to his mind which was to determine
his future career. He gave up mill work and entered upon
the practice of minor surgery, at the same time applying himself
to gain a fuller theoretical knowledge of the subject in the
works of standard authors. He has
since acquired a considerable reputation in his special field of
activity, and is one of the best known citizens of Youngstown.
He is a 32d degree Mason. He was married in Wales to
Sarah Richards, and he and his wife are the parents
of five children. Further biographical mention of Dr.
Reese is made in another part of this Volume.
