Gurdon Saltonstall (27 March 1666 – 20 September 1724) was governor of the Colony of Connecticut from 1708 to 1724. Born into a distinguished family, Saltonstall became an accomplished and eminent Connecticut pastor. A close associate of Governor Fitz-John Winthrop, Saltonstall was appointed the colony's governor after Winthrop's death in 1707, and then reelected to the office annually until his own death. ==Early life and pastor== Saltonstall was the son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Ward) Saltonstall, a prominent north Massachusetts family active in Massachusetts politics since the 1630s. He received his bachelor's degree in 1684 from Harvard Divinity School, where he studied theology, and was awarded his masters degree in 1687.〔State of Connecticut Judicial Branch, ''(Portrait Gallery of Former Connecticut Chief Justices )''〕 It was at this time that Saltonstall first preached at First Christ Church in New London where he impressed congregants enough to warrant his appointment as the town's sole pastor.〔New London County Historical Society, ''Records and papers of the New London County Historical Society, Volume 1,'' (p.5 )〕 Saltonstall soon grew close to the Connecticut's governor, Fitz-John Winthrop and became not simply an advisor in spiritual matters, but in civil ones as well.〔Perry, ''Founders and Leaders of Connecticut 1633-1783'' (p.140 )〕 When Governor Winthrop's health failed him, Saltonstall eventually began assuming executive responsibilities in the Governor's absence.〔New London County Historical Society, ''Records and papers of the New London County Historical Society, Volume 1,'' (p.6 )〕 He was married to Mary Whittinghame (d. 1730), a granddaughter of Mayor of New York John Lawrence (1618–1699).〔(''Historical Genealogy of the Lawrence Family'' ) by Thomas Lawrence (1858; page 23)〕
