'''Jonas Galusha''' ([[February 11]], [[1753]] - [[September 24]], [[1834]]) was [[Governor]] of [[Vermont]] for two terms in the early 1800s.
Galusha was born in [[Norwich, Connecticut]], and migrated to [[Shaftsbury, Vermont]], in [[1775]]. He had a distinguished record in the American Revolution, fighting in the [[Battle of Bennington]] in [[1777]]. He was active in the [[Baptist Church]] and served in several administrative and judicial positions in state government. In [[1808]], he served as a presidential elector for the [[Democratic-Republican]] candidacy of [[James Madison]]. The following year, he was elected Governor of Vermont, serving until 1813. He was both the predecessor and the successor of the [[Federalist]] [[Martin Chittenden]], brother of Galusha's wife, Mary Chittenden. Galusha served another term as [[Governor]] from [[1815]] to [[1820]]. He was later again a Presidential elector in the [[1820]] and [[1824]] elections. He died in Shaftsbury in [[1834]].
