When family history is being researched do you consider the historical patterns that went into this western movement? How and why did all those ancestors from a small corner in New England end up in the Midwest? In the landed families of England everything went to the eldest son; younger ones were expected to make a life for themselves in the army, navy or church, there was no other frontier for them. When New England was settled, all those untouched acres must have looked like heaven, and, there was always more.

It's interesting when you find ancestors who were not born in the place where the family located to find out what was happening in the country. There were periods of vast expansion in American history, usually triggered by some political happening. Families are far more interesting when some understanding of the history of the period accompanies them. All of them were part of the times in which they lived, and in some small way affected it. In hunting for our past we should also learn more about American history, i.e., Legend of the War of 1812, this issue.

OUR COMMON ANCESTOR

Edmund Ingalls of Lynn, MA, son of Robert and grandson of Henry Ingalls, was born at Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, England about 1598. He came to Salem, MA in Governor Endicott's company in 1628, with his brother Francis and four others, and he commenced the settlement of Lynn in 1629. His name is often found on the town records showing him to be one of the prominent citizens.  AIS

A popular reference book is The Genealogy and History of the Ingalls Family in America, compiled by Charles Burleigh, M.D., Malden, MA (Geo. E. Dunbar, 382 Main St., MA, 1903). The book was reprinted in 1929  in commemoration of the 300th Anniversary of the family in America, in conjunction with the tercentenary celebration of the city of Lynn, MA, July 1929. It is believed that there are no copies available for purchase at this time. You may find a copy at any large public library.

It is thought that most Ingalls or any other variant of the name are descendants of this family. Submit your questions for publication and perhaps someone will be able to assist you. Perhaps you have diaries, Bible records, and stories that you would like to share with others. We will attempt to identify your relationship to the common ancestor, or provide clues that might assist in further research.

The next three pages contain a story about descendants of Edmund Ingalls, Lynn, MA, as well as ancestors in England. This presents a summary of the activities of the family through the 8th generation in America. A family chart of generation #7 is included. Susan Ingalls has been researching this line.

Submitted by Susan Ingalls. The story is about their family history. Edwin Joe Ingalls, b 1936 ID (corrected 8-20-2006; per Vol 1, No. 2, p 19), son of Edmund Arthur b 1906 SD, son of Almont James b 1862 MN, son of David James b NY 1836, son of David b 1794 VT, son of Nathaniel b 1765 MA, son of David b 1725/6 MA, son of Henry b 1656 MA, son of Henry b 1632, son of Edmund, b 1598 England. Story compiled by Dora Lester Moyer, 7 gr-grandau of Edmund/Ann Ingalls.

Ingalls name is supposed to be of Scandinavian origin and derived from Ingialld. During the ninth century the Scandinavian pirates often descended on the east coast of Great Britain and after many years some of this nationality made settlements, especially in Lincolnshire.

The first record of Ingalls as a family name in Lincolnshire, England is mentioned in 1384. The first known was Henry Ingalls of Skirbeck, England, He was the grandfather of Edmund. He died in 1555. One reference told about his will and gave his birth at about 1505. There are good reasons to think the family was in existence for at least 2 centuries previous near the vicinity of Boston, England. The town of Skirbeck adjoined Boston downstream on the river Witham.

The first generation of Ingalls to come to America was Edmund Ingalls and his family. The birth date of Edmund is not known, but his brother Francis was born in 1601. It is thought, therefore, he was born in 1598. His father's name was Robert Ingalls. Robert Ingalls was described as a yeoman. He died in 1617, whereupon Edmund, as the oldest son, succeeded to the farm as then was the custom. Probably he married soon afterward. Of his wife we know only that her name was Ann. Before coming to America they had five children. The ancestors of Edmund for several generations at least had been well-to-do for those times. They kept a servant or two and were of sufficient importance to make wills. Edmund, after residing in MA for 20 years, still retained a 3-acre parcel of land in England which he mentioned in his will.

As the colonization of MA was only partly for religious inspiration, Edmund, his family, his brother, his wife and child, probably desired more freedom and especially more opportunity. To those who were able to pay their way, 60 (corrected 8-20-2006 from Vol 1, No. 2, p. 19) acres of land was allowed. Edmund and Francis, his brother, were evidently of the latter class, inasmuch as when the allotments of land were finally made they jointly received 120 acres.

Edmund and Francis lived in the northeast part of England, but the main immigrant party lived in the southwest part in the Dorchester area. Edmund, his wife Ann, and five children, the oldest 7 years old, and Francis, his wife Mary, and perhaps a young daughter, Ann Skipper, an old family servant, with some household goods and farming utensils had to sail first to Weymouth. Probably they sailed with Endicott's party of 100 on the ship Abigail and arrived at Salem, MA June 30, 1629.

Some of Endicott's party felt uncomfortable under the restrictions of Endicott, who considered himself responsible not only for the safety, but also the habits of his colonists, and evidently was self-willed and arbitrary, even temperamental. Edmund was fined for bringing home some sticks in both arms on the Sabbath Day from Mr. Holyoke's rails. The witnesses were Joseph Flood, O'Badys Flood, and Jane Flood. Edmund and Francis applied "for a place to get themselves down" and received "leave to go where they would". With that permission they moved to Saugus, later known as Lynn. It was mostly forest save where the Indians had cleared small patches in which to plant corn. They were received kindly by the Indians, who were of the Pawtucket tribe. The Indians gave them leave to dwell and occupy what land they would. Edmund chose for his dwelling a fair plain beside a sedgy pond and so appeared on the map of less than a hundred years ago, but is now known as Goldfish pond.

It is not on record that Edmund Ingalls ever became a freeman, which means he did not acquire the right to vote. In order to become a freeman, a man had to be a member of the Congregational church in good standing. Edmund either could not so qualify, or did not want to.

Edmund lost his life in March, 1648, by falling with his horse through a defective bridge over the Saugus River where it crossed the road that is now Boston Street. He was probably 53 years of age. It is interesting to examine the inventory of the property that Edmund left in 1648. He left his house, barns and outbuildings along with his original farm, and also his grant of land. In addition he had a house and land in West Lynn, and another house with 3 acres in England. Because he was English, his descendants for 4 generations owed allegiance to the King of England.

Henry Ingalls was next in line. He was the son of Edmund and Ann. (Possible Henry b 1632 and possible Ann d 1686?) (corrected 8-20-2006 from Vol 1, No 2, p. 19)He was born in Skirbeck, England in 1627. He married July 6, 1653 to Mary, daughter of John and Ann Osgood of Andover, MA. She died in December, 1682. Thereupon he m August 1 1687 Sarah Farnum, widow of George Abbott. Sarah died May 12, 1728, at the age of 90. Henry was a landowner at Ipswich, MA. He sold out in 1652. He was one of the first settlers at Andover, MA. He bought his land from the Indians, paying in clothing and trinkets.

He died February 8, in either 1718 or 1719. His family consisted of 11 children. Some lived on portions of their father’s farm. He had built houses for them.

The next in our line was Henry, the second, a son of Henry and Mary Ingalls. He was born December 8, 1656 at Andover, MA. He married on June 6, 1688, Abigail, daughter of John J. and Mary (Webster) Emery of Newbury. Abigail was born January 16 1669 (corrected 8-20-2006 from Vol 1, No. 2, p. 19) and died July 12, 1756. Henry Junior, the second, was a carpenter and builder. In 1686 he was granted liberty by the town to set up a sawmill on Musktoe River. Henry seems to have been a favorite with his father who gave him several pieces of land. In one document his father said that “Henry had greatly to my approbation and liking contracted a marriage with Abigail Emery, daughter of John Emery of Newbury.” He expressed his appreciation of the good care that Abigail had taken of him. Henry and Abigail had 5 children.

Henry, the son of Henry and Abigail, was the next generation in our line. He was born at Andover, MA, April 2, 1689. He married July 10, 1718 Hannah Martin. He was a wealthy farmer and an influential citizen of Andover. He died August 12, 1749. He left a fortune of 2796 pounds. Henry and Hannah had 8 children.

David, the son of Henry and Hannah, was next in line. He married Priscilla, daughter of Israel How. She died in 1807. David was a blacksmith. He moved to Stoddart, NH, then to Londonderry in the same state. He died at Londonderry July 31, 1805. David and Priscilla had 10 children. With the 5th generation we get down to the immediate pre­revolutionary time. From all of those towns in MA and NH were many sons who entered the Continental Army.

Nathaniel, the son of David and Priscilla (How) Ingalls was next in line. He was born May 4, 1765 in Orange Co, VT. He died November 7, 1838 at Wales, Erie Co, NY. He married Elizabeth McKeen, the daughter of David and Margaret (McPherson) McKeen. The McKeen history was important to early New England and is written separately. Nathaniel and Elizabeth had 12 children. The family moved to NY sometime after 1794.

David, the son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (McKeen) Ingalls was born June 2, 1794 in Orange Co, VT. He was married in 1819 to Elizabeth Richardson, a native of VT. They had 11 children. David's early life was spent in farming. When 21 years old he went to Erie Co, NY, first to the present site of Buffalo, and thence to Holland Purchase. He located a farm there, upon which he lived over 40 years. At the age of 62 he came west with his wife and 5 children. Of his family of 11 children, 3 died in NY. Three others had come west before.

They arrived in 1856 and located in York township, on Section 4, in Fillmore Co, MN. He was the first Assessor of York township. Title to the land was issued to him July 9, 1856. The Cherry Grove post office was located here in 1869, having been moved from Forestville township, a mile distant, and David was selected as post­master. It was at his house, on Section 4, until February, 1882, when it was returned to Forestville township. Mrs. Ingalls died on the 7th of November, 1867, and would have been 75 had she lived 1 day longer. In the census figures in St. Paul for 1857, both Elizabeth and David's names are given with the names of 3 of their children. Elizabeth's age was given as 65 and David's 62. David went to visit his son David at Athol, SD. He came back in cold weather. He walked to his home in Section 4 from Spring Valley, MN. He contracted pneumonia and died at 11:30 a.m., Friday, October 28, 1887, age 93 years, 4 months, 26 days.

Sarah Priscilla Ingalls Henderson was the daughter of David and Elizabeth Ingalls. She was next in our line. She was born in Erie Co, NY, April 21, 1824, and died at her home in York township, Fillmore Co, June 25, 1908. She came to Minnesota with her parents in 1856. On June 6, 1857 she and Ira Henderson made an excursion from York to Forestville and were married by Robert Foster. She was mentally and physically strong, always doing for others and never thinking of self, going day or night to care for others in time of sickness or misfortune. She had 3 children, David, Horace Greely, and Grace. David died on the 24th of December, 1868 in his 10th year, and Lydia Grace on the 4th of January, 1869 in her 6th year. Their deaths were caused by diphtheria. Sarah Priscilla helped with milking the cows until about age 80. She was stricken with paralysis at age 84. Her funeral was held at her home on Saturday, June, 1908 with the Rev. Laing of Preston officiating. She, her husband, her children, her father and mother are all buried in the Etna cemetery.

JOSIAH (F) MITCHELL AND CHARLOTTE INGALLS – NY, ILL, IA – abstracted from Mitchell Family History written by Annie Mitchell.

Submitted by Paula Talbot. Paula’s family line from Edmund Ingalls, immigrant to America in 1629, follows: Edmund, Henry, Samuel, Samuel, Timothy, Jonathan, Samuel m Margaret Delano; James m Roxa Jackman; Charlotte m Josiah Mitchell; Alonzo Mitchell b ILL, Harry Mitchell B IA, Eugene Mitchell b IA, Maisie Mitchell m Paul Daniel Sauer; Paula Sauer Talbot.

"Josiah (F) Mitchell married Charlotte Ingalls Nov. 9, 1846 in Kane Co., Ill. Charlotte was born Nov 19, 1831 in New York. She was only 15 years old when married. To this union was born five children. The first three being: Alonzo, Windfield Mitchell born April 28, 1848; Ellen Melissia Mitchell born May 9, 1850; and James Josiah Mitchell born May 26, 1852, all in Kane County, Ill.

"In 1854, Josiah moved his family to Howard County, Iowa by covered wagon drawn by ox teams. His wife, Charlotte, was furnished a light wagon drawn by a gentle mare which she drove. They arrived at their destination, New Oregon (a town now extinct) on August 8, the next month. There they settled a homestead they called Mitchell Creek. They cleared a patch of trees to make logs and built a rustic log cabin with two large rooms and a big fireplace at each end. One room was used for a living room and kitchen. The other was screened off with white curtains, making it easier to keep warm from the fireplace. This was for sleeping quarters. After the house was built they cleared and broke land to raise grain the following year. That fall they hauled seed grain from MacGregor, Iowa, 65 miles away, by ox team.

"During the process of clearing and building, another daughter, Roxy Anne was born to Charlotte and Josiah Mitchell, late in the fall of 1854.

"The next year Josiah moved his family to Osage, Iowa. Feeling that he possessed a natural ability for salesmanship, he went to work for a land office there and worked with the company for a year. They then moved back to the farm, built new barns and improved the house, making it more comfortable for their family.

"On February 9, 1857 another daughter, Sarah Delphine, was born on the farm then owned by Josiah's father-in-law, James Ingalls. The family lived there until 1860. In 1862 they sold the farm and bought a home on the bank of the Turkey River.

"In the spring of 1865, Josiah and son Alonzo, while mining near Helena, Montana, struck rich loads and named the mine "the Delphine" after his daughter. In the fall of 1867 they returned home by train which went as far as Oscian, Iowa. From there they traveled by the old New Oregon stage coach arriving home the last of November.

"In 1868 Josiah and Charlotte went to Chicago. Josiah gave Charlotte great credit for fine judgment. It was a stimulating excursion for her because she enjoyed the opportunity of her life buying the things she had always wanted. They purchased several pieces of fine walnut furniture, gold-banded china, a silver tea set, pitchers and flat silver, some German upholstered furniture, carpets, draperies, and a baby grand piano which was the pride of their daughters."

Paula would like to correspond with anyone that comes down from the James and Charlotte Ingalls line. They both died in Iowa and is looking for vital records.

Legend of the War of 1812 – SAMUEL INGALLS, son of JONATHON INGALLS, VT – excerpt from family Bible, written by Alice J. INGALLS WHITING, daughter of Peter and Eliza INGALLS.

 Submitted by Lou Ellen Ingalls:

"Johanathan Ingalls lived in the Green Mountains of Vermont some time in the last half of the 18th century serving in the patriot army during the American revolution, he had three sons named Samuel, David & Jonithan.

"Samuel, son of Jonithan born in the Green Mountains of Vermont moved to Canada and while there married Margaret DeLano, a French woman, light complexion, light hair, a European French not Kenuck. At the breaking out of the war of 1812 Samuel Ingalls loaded his family and household goods onto a sled and crossed Lake Champlain on the ice at night and he and his two brothers enlisted in the American army. After the war of 1812, one of the brothers went to Massachusetts and one to Michigan & Samuel settled in New York.

"Samuel had seven sons, Aaron, Benjiman, Hiram, James, John, Worthing & Lansford, and two daughters, Mary and Margaret. Lansford Ingalls born in Canada in 1812 married Laura Colby, daughter of Nathan & Eunice Colby. Nathan Colby was a veteran of the war of 1812, and was at the siege of Buffalo, and there received injuries from which he suffered all his life, being crippled. Nathan Colby had six children one son Peter, and five daughters, Laura, Eunice, Liddie & Ladocia. and one other."

 ****

Starting with the 7th generation of the above line, Samuel m Margaret DeLano, Landsford⁸ m Laura Colby and they had 11 children: Peter Riley, Charles (PA), Lydia, Polly, Landsford, J., Laura, Hiram, infant, George, Ruby, Lafayette. Peter Riley⁹ was Alice J. Ingalls Whiting's father. Charles is PA of Little House on the Prairie fame.

Avon Books have published a paperback, Laura - The Life of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Donald Zorchert, published NY, 1st printing 1977,  241 pages, with an index and 8 pages of photos. This is a bibliography of Laura's life, giving much information of Laura's relatives. In Donald Zorchert's list of credits, there are several Ingalls family members who generously aided him in compiling this book. It may be available at your local library.

Another book that I have found interesting .... it is historical, a novel called, Follow the River by James A. Thom, published by Ballantine Books, NY 1981, in paperback or hard cover. Route of MARY DRAPER INGLES' Escape with the Old Dutch Woman ca 1755. Based on the true ordeal of Mary INGLES, captured by Indians, and removed a 1,000 miles from her home. She walked through an untamed wilderness following the Ohio river through Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, W. Virginia to Draper's Meadow, Virginia. Her story lives on, extraordinary testimony to the indomitable strength of a pioneer woman struggling to return to the comfort of her own people.

 EARLY NEW HAMPSHIRE RESIDENTS

Family Names in New Hampshire Town Histories, compiled and indexed by the New Hampshire Historical Society, Dec., 1946 – AIS

Family names were found chronicled in the genealogical sections of 85 town histories in the library of the NH Historical Society at Concord. It was an attempt to set down for the first time of all families recorded in the annals or believed by the historians of these towns to have been early residents of the state, and is intended mainly as a guide for those seeking to locate such families. This is by no means a complete list of all NH families, being limited to those towns having published histories. It is assumed, however, that a few of the early local names are omitted.
