He was badly wounded in 1862 at Shiloh, sent home, but | died at Huntsville. His brother Robert went to Huntsville and brought him | home where he was buried in Camp Ground Cemetery(now known as Shiloh) near | Allgood, Alabama. He was a lieutenant in William Crump's Company, 49th | Alabama Infantry. Male direct or collateral descendants are eligible foe | membership in the Military Order of the Stars and Bars. I am a member | through my Great-Great-Grandmother's brother George Washington Ayres, Jr. | (1836-1864), Lieutenant, later Captain, Co. C, 20th Alabama Infantry (Formed | at Pinson). I recently identified a photograph of him in his uniform. | | In 1869 Sarah (here we go) married Asberry Hallmark (1826-1878), and they | had a son John (1873-1947)! So, John is not a blood relation of Council | Ingram but is everything else. Sarah was known as "Grandma Hallmark" and was | quite a well-known person. | | Rufus Ingram & Sarah had children, the half-siblings. | | Clear Springs Church is very old, located on a road leading north off Hwy. | 79 beyond Remlap. Some miles beyond is the ruin of Hendricks' Mill that I | remember. The stone millrace is still there winding around the hill to tap | Hendricks' Mill Creek or whatever. We walked it one December all the way to | the remains of a rock dam. At that time the clear, fast moving stream had | lovely water cress in it. I remember the mill and have a phoograph of it. | | Bill Erwin | | -----Original Message----- | From: aljeffer-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aljeffer-bounces@rootsweb.com] | On Behalf Of Irma Roy | Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 5:40 PM | To: ALJEffer@rootsweb.com | Subject: [ALJEFF] Ingram Family | | Hi, | | I have been following the discussion of the Osmon Kelly Ingram with | interest.
