Notes:

Name:
"A virtuous and worthy character." (Ezra Stiles's Diary, 3, p. 227)

He graduated from Yale in 1740; served as tutor there for four years, became clerk of the Probate Court and afterwards Judge of that Court; represented New Haven in the General Assembly for nine sessions and later was a Judge of the County Court. For the last thirty years of his life he was Deacon in the First church. His epitaph truly states that "the last & much the Greater part of his life was Spent in the Service & to the acceptance of the Publick." (N.E. Col.Soc. Papers, 3, p. 607.)

"John Whiting, Esq., Clerk of the Courts was also a resident of this neighborhood. He was asked, previous to the possession of the town by the enemy, whether he would not make his escape. His reply was that he had not borne arms, that he was loyal to the king, and pointing to an engraving of King George, which hung on the wall of the room, he added: 'This will protect me.' but when the soldiers came into the house, they did not respect his claim of loyalty. He was holding an office under the "Rebel Government" and moreover was a Deacon in the First church, and they treated him much as the English Cavaliers would treat a Roundhead. He was carried off as a prisoner and so summarily, it is said, that he had not time to put on his wig." (New Haven Colony Historical Society Papers, 2, p. 75.)

His father being one of the Governor's Assistants and Judge of the Superior Court in 1740, he was placed at the head of his class at Yale in family rank. During the year 1741/2, he was Rector of the Hopkins Grammar School.

He was afterward elected to Congress as a Democrat, serving from 1813 till 1815, when he became U.S. District Attorney, and held that office until he was removed by Gen. Jackson in 1829. Soon afterward he served in the legislature. He was a member of the Canal and International.......Convention there in 1825 and also of the Reform Convention there in 1837, and in Philadelphia in 1838. In 1837 he was appointed secretary of legation to Prussia.

Notes:

"A Genealogy of the Ingersoll Family" - Joseph reed Ingersoll was graduated at Princeton in 1804; studied law with his father and practiced extensively in Philadelphia. In 1835 he was elected to congress as a Whig and served till 1837 and again from 1843 till 1849. For a time he was chairman of the judiciary committee. He was an advocate for protection and a firm supporter of Henry Clay. One of his best efforts in the House was defense of Mr. Clay's tariff of 1842. In 1852 he was appointed by President Fillmire, minister to England, as successor to Abbott Lawrence, and held the office about one year wen he was succeeded by James Buchanan. He then retired to private life devoting himself to literary pursuits. The degree of L.D. was conferred on him by Lafayette and Bowdoin in 1836 and that of D.C.L. by Oxford in 1845.
He was a warm adherent of the Union and at the time of the Civil War prepared an able essay entitled "Succession, a Folly and a Crime."
He published a translation fro the Latin of Roccus's tracts, "DeNavibus et Naulo," and "De Assecuratins" (Phila., 1809) and was the author of a "Memoir of Samuel Breck" (1863).
He also prepared many gentlemen for the bar, having been preceptor to over fifty and these he aided, on numerous instances, by every means in his power, both during their tutelage and after their admission to the bar, and always manifested a deep interest in their success.
Personally and socially he was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. His manners were elegant and refined: his conversation easy ad interesting. His home was the seat of liberal hospitality; his board the constant scene of intellectual enjoyment.
His clarity was munificent and unbounded; he considered it a duty and a privilege to give. Unfortunate in the loss of his wife and children, the greater part of his later years was passed in childless widowhood. He was long a communicant member of the Episcopal Church and for many years a warden of St. Peter's Church.
No surviving issue - all buried in St. Peter's Churchyard, Philadelphia.
