Biography
The second eldest son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Coffin) Amory, Jonathan tertius was born in 1770. His first marriage was to Ann Wyer, but she died rather young. He remarried Mehitable (Sullivan) Cutler, the widow of his business partner James Cutler in 1801. She was the daughter of Mehitable and Gov. James Sullivan. After graduating from Harvard in 1787, Jonathan entered J & J Amory, the counting house of his uncle Jonathan (1726-1797). He then was in partnership with James Cutler in Cutler and Amory until Cutler's death in 1799. Afterward, he was in partnership with his brother Thomas C. Amory, Jr. in the merchant house Jonathan and Thomas Amory and Company. He was sometimes referred to as "good Jonathan."
Graduation: Harvard. 1778 Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA.
