He was educated locally and then went onto attend the prestigious Yale College in 1840. Following his education, he traveled around Europe with his Uncle, Captain Vorhes of the ship, 'Preble' for two years before returning to the United States to study law at Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut., where he graduated from in 1844. Following his graduation, he was admitted to the bar in 1845 and he became the law partner of his father. He then served as Director of the New Haven Colony Historical Society in New Haven, Connecticut, and then decided to enter politics. He served as a Clerk of the Connecticut State Assembly in 1846. On December 18, 1847, he married Virginia Gregory (the daughter of Admiral Francis Hoyt Gregory and of War of 1812 hero) in Brooklyn, New York, and the couple would have seven children together (Virginia Gregory was born in 1823, Justine Henrietta Ingersoll was born in 1849, Charles Vandenheuvel Ingersoll was born in 1851 and died that same year, Francis Gregory Ingersoll was born in 1852, Virginia "Jennie" Gregory Ingersoll was born in 1854, Margaret Vandenheuvel Ingersoll was born in 1855, and Elizabeth Shaw Ingersoll was born in 1860).

After his term in as Governor of Connecticut expired on January 3, 1877, he was succeeded in office by United States Representative Richard Dudley Hubbard.
