Uriah Tracy

Uriah Tracy (February 2, 1755 – July 19, 1807) was an American politician from Connecticut who served in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Tracy was born in Franklin, Connecticut. He graduated from Yale University (where his contemporaries included Noah Webster) in 1778. He was admitted to the bar in 1781 and subsequently practiced law in Litchfield for many years. He served in the state legislature in 1788–1793, and in the United States Congress from 1793–1796, having been chosen as a Federalist.

After his term, he was elected to the United States Senate in place of Jonathan Trumbull, who had resigned. Tracy served until the time of his death in Washington, D. C.. He was buried in the newly established Congressional Cemetery.

His portrait, painted by Ralph Earl, is in the collection of the Litchfield Historical Society in Litchfield, Connecticut.
