Ingram Migration and our Direct Line

Ingram Migration from 1651 to Present:

• Virginia: Northumberland County, Prince George County, Sussex County, Brunswick County, Ameila County.
• Kentucky: Pulaski County, Mercer County.
• Missouri: Polk County, Cedar County.
• Montana
• Oregon: Eugene
• Glendale, California
• New York: Rochester.
• Florida
• California: Santa Clara, San Jose.

Origin

Ingram Family History, Mary Ruth Ingram Stultz. INGRAM is an Old German compound personal name from either Angilramnus or Ingilramnus (according to a news article of unknown origin). The second part mans "raven" and the first element is either Angil (angel) or Ingil, a derivative of Ingi, an old hero name of unknown meaning. The sense would be "angel raven" or "Ingi’s raven."

The lineage of those INGRAMS began with WILLIAM, living in 1090. Among the descendants there was WALTER, living about 1170, and another WILLIAM in 1194. Two other INGRAMS were named: John, who witnessed a deed in 1265, and EDWARD in 1284.

English settlers had begun to sail for America in 1607. Captain Christopher Newport brought three ships into the Chesapeake Bay, but those ships carried only men. The early settlers were confronted with many illnesses, and often fatal. In spite of all the conflicts, Virginia still had only two thousand people by 1619. But soon, that year a ship arrived from England with ninety young maidens who were to be given as wives to settlers who would pay a hundred and twenty pounds of tobacco for their transportation. The population subsequently began to increase.

The Colonial Years

Our Ingram ancestors migrated from Great Britain to the Colony of Virginia around the middle of the 17th century. In checking Colonial Virginia records, it is helpful to know something about the development of the counties. I have provided some insight.

• 1645, Northumberland was an Indian District of Chickacoan.

• 1652, Surry was created from James City.

• 1653, Westermoreland was created from Northumberland.

• 1669, Middlesex was created from Lancaster.

• 1691, King and Queen princess Anne.

• 1692, Essex was created from old Rappahannock, and Richmond was created from old Rappahannock.

The Wilderness Road emptied into the west by way of the Cumberland Gap, discovered in 1774 at the tip of Virginia. After the Revolutionary War was won, the Cumberland Gap was the path that many pioneers took to reach Kentucky, as did our ancestors.

Fincastle County became Kentucky County, Virginia in 1776.

The Methodists, a society of the established Church of England, was started out by John Wesley in England, soon this society flourished in Virginia and by 1784 they had become so strongly established that they formed their own church, the Methodist Episcopal Church. Isaac Ingram, our ancestor, joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in Amelia County, Virginia, before he moved his family to Pulaski County, Kentucky, about 1788.

 

Interesting Fact:

Brunswick Co., Virginia: Named for the duchy of Brunswick-Lineburg, one of the German possessions of King George I. It was formed in 1720 from Prince George but, because of the sparse population, county government was not organized until 1732. In the latter year Brunswick was enlarged by the addition of parts of Surry and Isle of Wight. Its area is 579 square miles, and the county seat is Lawrenceville.

Lee Virgil Ingram's Direct Line

John Ingram 1650 m. Jane Unknown

My Ingram Family 1651-1925 by Iona May Ingram Sowa. John Ingram, came to Virginia in 1651 after many had already given their lives to disease, starvation, and Indian massacres to settle the colony. By the mid-century Virginia was fastly becoming more attractive to the settlers, and the pattern of English country life appeared along the rivers.

Sir William Berkely to John Ingram and Richard Flint 406 acres upon Diving Creek, adjacent to the land of William Vincent and that of John Waddy. Of this land, 250 acres were granted to David pole on the 10th of December, 1638, and by him assigned to John Ingram, the balance due for transportation of persons into the colony. Dated 10 April 1651, Recorded 20 Sept. 1653.

13 April 1652. John Ingram signed oath to Commonwealth of England.

During his first few years in Northumberland County, 1651 through 1654, John Ingram was a juryman, a Government Agent, owned a large amount of land, owned a boat and made many transactions pertaining thereto. He described himself as "of Great Wicocomocoe," his land was said to be upon Dividing Creek.

Diving Creek appears as early as 1651, it is a stream flowing 3.5 miles into Chesapeake Bay. It is said to be called Dividing Creek because it divides a short distance upstream from it’s mouth."Place-Names of the Northern Neck of Virginia" by Mary R. Miller, pub. by Virginia State Library, 1983.

Wicomico (Wicocomocoe) parish was established by the General Assembly about 1648. Ingram Bay lies at the mouth of the great Wicomico.

John Ingram must of had a large estate according to Iona’s book. When he dies, he has three overseers of his will; William Nash, Thomas Hopkins, and Peter Knight.

Early settlers: Thomas Gaskins 15 Sept. 1649. Mr. Lawrence Dameron came to Virginia in 1652. Mr. Thomas Hopkins John Waddy around April 3, 1651. Col. Richard Lee of Dividing creek and Capt. William Hall were both early settlers. Genealogies of Virginia Families": Tyler’s Quarterly, Vol. I, pages 464-480 & 796-798 William and Mary College Quarterly, Vol II, pages 401-5 and Vol. 25, pages 312-325.

Iona Ingram’s book stated that she thought that John Ingram appeared to be a business man, not a planter. She also stated that it was very likely that he brought indentured servants from England. There were no Negro slaves in the colonies at this time. It was not until 1670 that slavery was recognized in Virginia.

Records imply that John Ingram originated in England. Northumberland County, VA. Record Book 1652-1658, pages 48 and 48a. John Ingram’s will, 1654. The Waddy Family of Northumberland County, VA, by Mrs. O. A. Keach, of Wichita, Kansas.

Joseph Ingram b. 1798 m. Sarah Sally Stotts

JOSEPH INGRAM (ISAAC, JOSEPH, CHARLES, THOMAS, JOHN) was born February 08, 1798 in Pulaski CO, KY, and died August 03, 1887 in Looney Twnp, Polk Co., MO. He married SARAH SALLY STOTTS March 12, 1822 in Pulaski CO, KY, daughter of JOHN STOTTS and POLLY UNKNOWN. She was born Abt. 1801 in Virginia (1880 census, Polk CO, MO), and died May 10, 1860 in Looney Twnp, Polk Co., MO, Enon Cemetery.

Children of JOSEPH INGRAM and SARAH STOTTS are:

Joseph moved to Illinois in 1835 and in 1837 moved to Polk Co., MO where they resided until removed by death. Sally and Joseph had five sons born in Pulaski Co., Kentucky. It does not appear that they took any slaves with them so Sally had her hands full. Morgan was 12, Isaac was 10, John 8, Lemiel 5, and Charles 2. Ingram, Joseph married Stotts, Sally on 12 Mar 1822 in Pulaski Co., Kentucky listed in Kentucky Marriages to 1850 database from Ancestry.com. According to Collins "History of Kentucky" the settlers as late as 1846 engaged in the manufacture of salt. The wells were located on Fishing Creek. Joseph Ingram got involved with Cyrenius Wait in the production of salt. Joseph, no doubt, used his 110 acres as surety in his partnership with Mr. Wait. Joseph Ingram and Cyrenius Wait had partnership in three land grants, Fishing Creek was their water course. Joseph's three son's Isaac, John S., and William were on the list of rebels. Joseph's oldest son Morgan, who lived in Cedar Co., had joined the rebels. History of Marion Co., MO by Holcomb and Missouri, A History of the Crossroads State by Mc Reynolds.
