Oliver Ellsworth
Oliver Ellsworth (April 29, 1745 – November 26, 1807) was an American lawyer and politician, a revolutionary against British rule, a drafter of the United States Constitution, United States Senator from Connecticut, and the third Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. While at the Federal Convention, Ellsworth moved to strike the word ''National'' from the motion made by Edmund Randolph of Virginia. Randolph had moved successfully to call the government the ''National Government of United States''. Ellsworth moved that the government should continue to be called the ''United States Government''.
==Youth and family life==
Ellsworth was born in Windsor, Connecticut, to Capt. David and Jemima (née Leavitt) Ellsworth.〔Jemima Leavitt, born at nearby Suffield, was the daughter of Lieut. Joshua Leavitt and Hannah Devotion, and the sister of Congregationalist minister Rev. Jonathan Leavitt.()〕 He entered Yale in 1762, but transferred to the College of New Jersey (later Princeton) at the end of his second year. He continued to study theology and, while attending, helped found the American Whig–Cliosophic Society along with Aaron Burr and William Paterson.〔http://theprince.princeton.edu/princetonperiodicals/cgi-bin/princetonperiodicals?a=d&d=Princetonian19870727-01.2.95&srpos=1&e=-------en-20--1--txt-IN-----#〕 He received his A.B. degree, Phi Beta Kappa after 2 years. Soon afterward, however, Ellsworth turned to the law. After four years of study, he was admitted to the bar in 1771 and later became a successful lawyer and politician.

They had nine children including the twins William Wolcott Ellsworth, who married Noah Webster's daughter, served in Congress and became the governor of Connecticut; and Henry Leavitt Ellsworth, who became the first Commissioner of the United States Patent Office, the mayor of Hartford, president of Aetna Life Insurance and a large benefactor of Yale College.
