Ninian Edwards (March 17, 1775 – July 20, 1833) was a founding political figure of the State of Illinois. He served as the first and only governor of the Illinois Territory from 1809 to until the territory was dissolved in 1818. He was then one of the first two United States senators from the State of Illinois from 1818 to 1824, and the third Governor of Illinois from 1826 to 1830. In a time and place where personal coalitions were more influential than parties, Edwards led one of the two main factions in frontier Illinois politics.

  • Ninian Edwards (March 17, 1775 – July 20, 1833) was a founding political figure of the State of Illinois. He served as the first and only governor of the Illinois Territory from 1809 to until the territory was dissolved in 1818. He was then one of the first two United States senators from the State of Illinois from 1818 to 1824, and the third Governor of Illinois from 1826 to 1830. In a time and place where personal coalitions were more influential than parties, Edwards led one of the two main factions in frontier Illinois politics. Born in Maryland, Edwards began his political career in Kentucky, where he served as a legislator and judge. He rose to the position of Chief Justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals in 1808, at the time Kentucky's highest court. In 1809, U.S. President James Madison appointed him to govern the newly created Illinois Territory. He held that post for three terms, overseeing the territory's transition first to democratic "second grade" government, and then to statehood in 1818. On its second day in session, the Illinois General Assembly elected Edwards to the U.S. Senate, where conflict with rivals damaged him politically. Edwards won an unlikely 1826 election to become Governor of Illinois. Conflict with the legislature over state bank regulations marked Edwards' administration, as did the pursuit of Indian removal. As governor or territorial governor he twice sent Illinois militia against Native Americans, in the War of 1812 and the Winnebago War, and signed treaties for the cession of Native American land. Edwards returned to private life when his term ended in 1830 and died of cholera two years later. (en)
  • Ninian Edwards, född 17 mars 1775 i Montgomery County, Maryland, död 20 juli 1833 i Belleville, Illinois, var en amerikansk politiker (demokrat-republikan). Han var guvernör i Illinoisterritoriet 1809–1818 och den tredje guvernören i delstaten Illinois 1826–1830. Han representerade Illinois i USA:s senat 1818–1824. Edwards utexaminerades 1792 från . Han studerade därefter juridik. Han flyttade 1795 till Bardstown, Kentucky. Han var ledamot av Kentucky House of Representatives, underhuset i delstatens lagstiftande församling, 1796–1797. Han inledde 1798 sin karriär som advokat i Bardstown. Edwards var 1808 chefsdomare i Kentuckys högsta domstol. Illinoisterritoriet grundades 1809 och Edwards valdes till guvernör. Förutom för Illinois, hörde delar av nuvarande delstater Wisconsin, Michigan och Minnesota till territoriet. Edwards var Illinoisterritoriets enda guvernör. Han valdes 1818 till senaten i samband med att delstaten Illinois grundades. Han och Jesse B. Thomas var de två första senatorerna för Illinois. Edwards avgick 1824 som senator efter utnämningen till USA:s minister i Mexiko. Han kunde ändå inte tillträda som minister, eftersom han måste avbryta sin resa och åka tillbaka till Washington, D.C. för att vittna inför en kommitté som undersökte de anklagelser som finansministern William H. Crawford hade emot honom. Han var sedan guvernör under en tid som delstaten Illinois upplevde en kraftig befolkningstillväxt. Hans grav finns på Oak Ridge Cemetery i Springfield, Illinois. Den ursprungliga gravplatsen var i Belleville men kvarlevorna flyttades 1855 till Springfield som hade 1837 blivit delstatens huvudstad. Edwards County, Illinois har fått sitt namn efter Ninian Edwards. (sv)
