	Connecticut's Heritage Gateway
		Platt was a descendant of an old Connecticut family—the first Platt came to New Haven in 1638—and was educated by his friend Frederick W. Gunn (1816-1881), founder of the Gunnery School for boys in Washington.

		Platt was several times mentioned as a Republican vice-presidential possibility, but he apparently had no interest in office other than the senatorship from Connecticut.
