American patriot; b. Lebanon, Conn. He graduated from Harvard in 1727, studied theology, expecting to enter the ministry, but later abandoned that profe ion for the law and engaged actively in Colonial politics. He served as a member of the Connecticut a embly in 1733, acted as speaker of the same body in 1739, was deputy governor (1767-68) and from 1769 until 1783 was governor. He was an ardent advocate of independence and a pillar of strength to the Revolutionary cause. At one of the darkest periods of the struggle, when he learned from Washington (1776) of the desperate straits of the army, he i ued a call for nine more Connecticut regiments in addition to the five that had already been furnished. He was a warm friend of Washington, whose familiar name for him of ‘Brother Jonathan’ is said to have been the origin of the well known sobriquet applied at times to the American people. In addition to his executive ability, he was a learned jurist and from 1766 to 1769 was chief justice of the Superior Court of Connecticut.
