Early life


Ingersoll was born in New Haven, Connecticut on October 19, 1798. He was the son of Judge Jonathan Ingersoll (1747–1823) and Grace (née Isaacs) Ingersoll (1772–1850). His father was a judge of the Supreme Court and Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut up until his death in 1823.[1] Among his siblings was older brother Ralph Isaacs Ingersoll, who served as a U.S. Representative from Connecticut for four consecutive terms from 1825 to 1833, and was the U.S. Minister to the Russian Empire under President James K. Polk.[2]


His maternal grandfather, and namesake, was Ralph Isaacs, Jr., a Yale educated merchant who was prominent in New Haven and Branford, and his paternal grandfather was Rev. Jonathan Ingersoll,[1] chaplain for the Connecticut Troops during the French and Indian War who was the brother of Jared Ingersoll Sr., a British colonial official.[3] His grand-uncle's son, Jared Ingersoll, served as Attorney General of Pennsylvania and was the father of fellow U.S. Representative, Charles Jared Ingersoll, and grandfather of his second cousin, author Edward Ingersoll.[4] His cousin, Ralph Isaacs III, was the father of Mary Esther Malbone Isaacs, who married Chancellor and U.S. Senator Nathan Sanford in 1813.[5]


Ingersoll read law to be admitted to the bar, and received an A.M. from Yale University in 1827.[6]

He was in private practice in New Haven, Connecticut, and was clerk of the court for the U.S. District Court and U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Connecticut from 1820 to 1853. He was a probate judge in New Haven from 1829 to 1853. He was a state's attorney of Connecticut from 1849 to 1853.[6]


On April 6, 1853, Ingersoll was nominated by President Franklin Pierce to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut vacated by Andrew T. Judson. Ingersoll was confirmed by the United States Senate on April 8, 1853, and received his commission the same day.[6]
