<p><b>Thomas Chittenden</b> (* <a href="6._Januar" title="6. Januar">6. Januar</a> <a href="1730" title="1730">1730</a> in East Guilford, <a href="Colony_of_Connecticut" title="Colony of Connecticut">Colony of Connecticut</a>; † <a href="25._August" title="25. August">25. August</a> <a href="1797" title="1797">1797</a> in <a href="Montpelier_(Vermont)" title="Montpelier (Vermont)">Montpelier</a>) war ein britisch-<a href="Vereinigte_Staaten" title="Vereinigte Staaten">amerikanischer</a> Staatsmann und <a href="Gouverneur_(Vereinigte_Staaten)" title="Gouverneur (Vereinigte Staaten)">Gouverneur</a> des <a href="US-Bundesstaat" class="mw-redirect" title="US-Bundesstaat">US-Bundesstaates</a> <a href="Vermont" title="Vermont">Vermont</a>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Leben">Leben</h2></div>
<p>Chittenden zog 1774 von Connecticut aus nach Vermont, wo er die Stadt <a href="Williston_(Vermont)" title="Williston (Vermont)">Williston</a> gründete. Während des <a href="Amerikanischer_Unabh%C3%A4ngigkeitskrieg" title="Amerikanischer Unabhängigkeitskrieg">Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges</a> war er Mitglied eines <a href="Gremium" title="Gremium">Komitees</a>, das den <a href="Kontinentalkongress" title="Kontinentalkongress">Kontinentalkongress</a> dazu bewegen sollte, Vermont in die Union aufzunehmen.
</p><p>Der Kongress verschob jedoch die Lösung der Sachfrage, da man die Bundesstaaten <a href="New_York_(Bundesstaat)" title="New York (Bundesstaat)">New York</a> und <a href="New_Hampshire" title="New Hampshire">New Hampshire</a>, die beide Gebietsansprüche gegenüber Vermont äußerten, nicht verstimmen wollte.
</p><p>1777 verabschiedete daher eine Versammlung in <a href="Windsor_(Vermont)" title="Windsor (Vermont)">Windsor</a> die erste Verfassung Vermonts, die den Staat als unabhängige <a href="Vermont_Republic" title="Vermont Republic">Vermont Republic</a> und somit die erste <a href="Republik" title="Republik">Republik</a> auf dem <a href="Nordamerika" title="Nordamerika">nordamerikanischen</a> <a href="Kontinent" title="Kontinent">Kontinent</a> begründete. Während dieser Phase amtierte Chittenden als <a href="Liste_der_Gouverneure_von_Vermont" title="Liste der Gouverneure von Vermont">Gouverneur dieser Republik</a> von 1778 bis 1789 und in einer zweiten Amtsperiode von 1790 bis 1791.
</p><p>Als Vermont schließlich der Union 1791 als 14. Bundesstaat beitrat, setzte Chittenden seine Amtszeit als Gouverneur bis 1797 fort. Nur wenige Wochen nach seinem Ausscheiden aus dem Amt verstarb er im Alter von 67 Jahren. Sein Sohn <a href="Martin_Chittenden" title="Martin Chittenden">Martin Chittenden</a> wie auch sein Schwiegersohn <a href="Jonas_Galusha" title="Jonas Galusha">Jonas Galusha</a>, der seine Tochter Mary geheiratet hatte, wurden ebenfalls Gouverneure von Vermont.
</p><p>Chittendens Grab befindet sich auf dem <i>Thomas Chittenden Cemetery</i>, <a href="Williston_(Vermont)" title="Williston (Vermont)">Williston</a>, <a href="Chittenden_County" title="Chittenden County">Chittenden County, Vermont</a>. Benannt nach ihm sind das erwähnte County und die Stadt Chittenden in <a href="Rutland_County" title="Rutland County">Rutland County</a>, <a href="Vermont" title="Vermont">Vermont</a><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>.
