The founding father of Connecticut was Roger Sherman. I used constitutionfacts.com to answer the question. Actually there was more than one founding father from Connecticut; there were actually three of them. One was William Samuel Johnson, one was Roger Sherman, ands the other was Oliver Ellsworth. Johnson was a smart man and was a president at a university, Roger Sherman was a very good businessman, and Ellsworth was studying theology and got most of his money from the public office.
