Lyman Beecher was born at New Haven, Connecticut, United States, on the 12th of October 1775; the son of David Beecher, a blacksmith, and Esther Hawley Lyman. He was a descendant of one of the founders of the New Haven colony. After his mother's death he was committed to the care of his uncle Lot Benton.
As a boy Lyman worked in an uncle's blacksmith shop and on his farm, and in 1797 graduated from Yale, having studied theology under Timothy Dwight.
Beecher preached in the Presbyterian church at East Hampton, Long Island (1798-1810, being ordained in 1799); in the Congregational church at Litchfield, Connecticut (1810 - 1826), in the Hanover Street church of Boston (1826 - 1832), and in the Second Presbyterian church of Cincinnati, Ohio (1833 - 1843); was president of the newly established Lane Theological Seminary at Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, and was professor of didactic and polemic theology there (1832 - 1850), being professor emeritus until his death.
Upon his resignation from Lane Theological Seminary he lived in Boston for a short time, devoting himself to literature; but he broke down, and the last ten years of his life were spent at the home of his son, Henry Ward Beecher, in Brooklyn, New York, where he died on the 10th of January 1863.
In 1806 he preached a widely circulated sermon on duelling, and about 1814 a series of six sermons on intemperance, which were reprinted frequently and greatly aided temperance reform.
Lyman Beecher's published works include: A Plea for the West (1835), Views in Theology (1836), and various sermons; his Collected Works were published at Boston in 1852 in 3 vols.
