  Governor of Connecticut. Jonathan Trumbull, Sr. (October 12, 1710 - August 17, 1785) (the origin a l spelling, "Trumble", was changed for an unknown reason) was one of t h e few Americans who served as governor in both a pre-Revolutionary colo n y and a post-Revolutionary state. He was the only colonial governor a t th e start of the Revolution to take up the rebel cause. Trumbull College at Yale, the town of Trumbull, Connecticut and Trumbu l l County, Ohio, once part of the Connecticut Western Reserve, are name d a fter him. The mascot of The University of Connecticut is also named " Jona than" in his honor.
