- Jonathan Trumbull, Sr. was one of the few Americans who served as governor in both a pre-Revolutionary colony and a post-Revolutionary state. He was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, the son of Joseph Trumbull (1678–1755) and his wife née Hannah Higley. He graduated from Harvard College with a B.A. in 1727; three years after graduation, during which time he studied theology under the Rev. Solomon Williams at Lebanon, and was licensed to preach at Colchester, Connecticut, this became a Master of Arts degree. He became a merchant with his father in 1731, participating more fully in the business after the death of his brother at sea in 1732. From 1733-1740, he was a delegate to the general assembly, and, in 1739-40, was Speaker of the House. He was appointed lieutenant colonel in Connecticut's militia in 1739. He served as deputy-governor of the Colony of Connecticut from 1766–1769, and, on the death of the governor, became Governor of Connecticut in 1769, serving in that capacity until 1784. During the American Revolution he was the only colonial governor who supported the American side. General Thomas Gage arrived in Boston on May 13, 1774. Given the problems he was inheriting from Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson, a city on the verge of violence, Gage, within a week of arriving, contacted Connecticut governor Jonathan Trumbull and expressed a "readiness to cooperate" with him "for the good of his Majesty's service. " When Gage sent Trumbull a request for assistance after the Battles of Lexington and Concord, Trumbull refused and made clear his choice to side with the Patriots. He replied that Gage's troops would "disgrace even barbarians," and he accused Gage of "a most unprovoked attack upon the lives and the property of his Majesty's subjects. " Trumbull was a friend and advisor of General Washington throughout the revolutionary period, dedicating the resources of Connecticut to the fight for independence. Washington declared him "the first of the patriots. " When Washington was desperate for men or food during the war, he could turn to "Brother Jonathan. " On July 6, 1775, along with other officers, the governor of Connecticut commissioned Nathan Hale as a first lieutenant in the newly raised Seventh Regiment. He was the only colonial governor to continue in office through the American revolution. He received an honorary LL.D. from Yale University in 1775 and from the University of Edinburgh in 1787; Trumbull College at Yale is named for him, as is the town of Trumbull, Connecticut, just north of Stratford and Bridgeport. Trumbull County, Ohio, once part of the Connecticut Western Reserve, is also named for him. The mascot of Connecticut's flagship university, The University of Connecticut, is named "Jonathan" in his honor. He married, on December 9, 1735, Faith Robinson (1718-1780), daughter of Rev. John Robinson. They were the parents of six children including: Joseph Trumbull (1737-1778), first commissary general of the Continental Army and an early member of the Board of War. Jonathan Trumbull, Jr. (1740-1809), Aide-de-camp to General George Washington from 1781 to the end of the war; Governor of Connecticut 1798-1809 Faith Trumbull (1743-1775), who married General Jedidiah Huntington Mary Trumbull (1745-1831), who married William Williams, signer of the Declaration of Independence David Trumbull (1751-1822), commissary of the Colony of Connecticut John Trumbull (1756-1843), "Painter of the American Revolution"; aide-de-camp of General George Washington for 19 days in 1775. Governor Trumbull died in Lebanon, Connecticut and is buried at the Old Cemetery there. His home in Lebanon, the Jonathan Trumbull House, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965.
- Jonathan Trumbull sr. war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker. Er ist eine der wenigen Personen, die vor dem Unabhängigkeitskrieg Gouverneur einer Kolonie und hinterher ebenfalls Gouverneur eines Bundesstaates waren. Im Unabhängigkeitskrieg war er General George Washington ein großer Freund und Helfer. Er versorgte einen Großteil der Kontinentalarmee mit lebenswichtigen Gütern und gewann dadurch stark an Beliebtheit, die er durch falsche Entscheidungen in seiner Gouverneurszeit allerdings wieder verlor. Trotzdem ist er heute immer noch einer der populärsten Politiker aus der damaligen Zeit.
