Sewall Stephen, son of Stephen Sewall, esq. was born in Salem, in December, 1702. He was graduated at Harvard College, 1721, and then took the charge of a school at Marblehead. The office of a grammar master ought to be accounted honourable. It is the most useful employment, and some of the greatest men in this country have thus begun their publick course. Mr. Sewall was chosen tutor in 1628, and continued in that office till the year 1739, when he was elevated to a seat on the bench of judges. His character was very eminent as a scholar. Dr. Chauncy, who was his classmate, and whose judgement none will dispute, speaks of him, as a man of first rate talents. "Quickness of apprehension," says he, "and a capacity to look thoroughly into a subject, were united to him in the highest degree I ever saw in any of my acquaintance. One could scarcely begin to mention a train of thought, but he would at once perceive the whole of what was going to be said ; and if it was a disputable point, had in readiness what was proper to be said in answer." He studied divinity, and was an excellent preacher, but did not incline to settle in the ministry. Having turned his attention to law, his wisdom and knowledge were so conspicuous, that he was recommended by the first gentlemen of the profession, as the most proper person for a vacant place of the superior court. Judge Dudley was then chief justice; and, upon his death, he was appointed his successor, though he was not the senior of the surviving judges. His reputation was high when he first went upon the bench, but in this superior station he gained more applause. " He preserved a great decorum in the court. He moderated the debates with a becoming calmness and dignity, in conjunction with a strict impartiality; shewing himself at once the man of honour and spirit, the knowing lawyer, and upright judge.
This great and good man was taken off in the midst of his usefulness. The powers of his mind were in full vigour ; as a judge, he was held in admiration, and one of the most learned and useful members of his majesty's council. To this office he was elected when he was chief justice. He would have been chosen some years before, but could not be persuaded to accept the place. He departed this life, Sept. 10, 1760, aged 58.
No one's death ever excited a more general sympathy. He was as much beloved for his good qualities, as admired for his superior wisdom. His polite and elegant manners gave a charm to the virtues of his life. It was remembered, likewise, how much he had dispersed and given to the poor! He was so kind to his relations and friends, and all who applied to him for help, "that he outdid his proper capacity." Two orphan children of his brother, Mitchel Sewall, esq. were under his immediate care. It was his intention to give them every advantage of education. The loss to them was irreparable.
Judge Sewall died a bachelor. He was a member of Dr. Mayhew's church. The Dr. printed the sermon he preached after his death, which may appear too much in the strain of eulogy ; but he observes, that the memory of wise and just men ought to be praised with all ardour of expression. "It seems but just and equitable," the Dr. adds, "that he, who never spoke evil of any one, but honoured all men, and delighted to give all their due share of praise, should, at least, when he is dead and gone, be praised by all in his turn; and so much the rather because he would not willingly suffer any to commend him while living, which was the truth concerning this excellent person."
