This is about the politician from Connecticut; for the economist, see Jonathan E. Ingersoll.
Jonathan Ingersoll (died January 12, 1823) was a Connecticut politician of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
He was elected as a member representing his state at-large in the United States House of Representatives, by a special election on September 16, 1793 (to replace Congressman-elect Benjamin Huntington who had become a Judge). However he declined this office before the 3rd Congress convened, so he was never sworn in. A replacement was elected at a special election on November 11, 1793. He served as Superior court judge in Connecticut, 1798-1801 and 1811-1816.
Ingersoll was the Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut from 1816 to 1823. He died while in office in 1823.
