Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Brief Sketch of the Life and Character of the Late Ralph I. Ingersoll Ralph Isaacs Ingersoll, the son of Jonathan and Grace (Isaacs) Ingersoll, was born in New Haven, February, 8th 1789 in the house now known as the Park House, on Chapel Street, midway between Temple and Gregson streets. His father, a gentleman of great moral worth, and "among the foremost in his profession," was a member of the court of assistants, afterward state attorney, in 1793 elected a representative in Congress (he declined to serve,) eight years a judge of the superior court, and lieutenant-governor from 1816 to the time of his death, January 12th, 1823, at the age of seventy-five. The grandfather was the Rev. Jonathan Ingersoll, who went from Milford to Ridgefield, where he was settled as a Congregational minister, and there died in 1778, in the fortieth year of his ministry. Jared Ingersoll, of New Haven, the famous stamp-master, one of the ablest lawyers of his time, and the ancestor of those of the name in Philadelphia, was his grand-uncle. A junior brother, also distinguished, was the late Judge Charles A. Ingersoll. His fourth son, his successor in practice, is now the Governor of Connecticut. Another son was a representative in Congress from this (New Haven) district in 1851-55. After his graduation at Yale College in 1808, young Ingersoll read law two years with Seth P. Staples, and then opened an office in New Haven. The period was an interesting one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
