I have not sailor Ingram's ship. However, he is in Ingram Family II (Birmingham: Roberts and Son, 1986), pp. 5, 62. All of the blood lines in this book are descendants of Council Ellis Ingram (1853-1911) & Lucretia Diadema Hendricks (1855-1920). Her parents were William Holland Hendricks & Eliza Jane Hanby. Hanbys settled in Blount & Jefferson counties during Territorial days. Hendricks came to Blount County in about 1830s - early residents of Blountsville, etc. His father David Hendricks, Sr. (d. 1858) was my g-g-g-grandfather by his 1st wife (Wm. H. lone child by 3rd wife). Hence, my remark that all blood lines in the book are some kin to me. Page 5: "Robert L. Ingram (1835-1897) . . . Second marriage was to Naomi (Betty) Lee in 1880. Their son, Osmond Kelly Ingram, was awarded the Navy Medal of Honor posthumously in World War I. He was the first American killed during that War in action with the Armed Forces of the United States. Kelly was killed in action off the coast of Queenstown, Ireland. In 1919, his mother christened the U.S.S. Ingram, a destroyer, that saw action in the Atlantic during World War II. Robert was a Methodist Minister, a land promoter and a Sergeant in the Confederacy. Robert had a big family." Page 62: "William Kelly Ingram. Bill (May 25, 1919-Nov. 10, 1944) . . . Bill was born in the family home in Sand Valley. He was named after his Uncle Billy and Osmond Kelly Ingram. They both lost their lives during World War I while fighting for their country."
