The family was reported to have lived in the Decatur, Ga. area around 1850/70 era.. Jackson Henry Ingram had sons named John Washington, James Madison, and Jackson Henry Jr. also a daughter Martha. It is very possible he and his wife may have died in the area. Trying to determine if this is so and where they may be buried and death records. Jacksonville, TX USA - Saturday, October 17, 1998 ----- Our ancestor Zoeth SPOONER RS was of a MA family (through his DELANO ancestry, a cousin to FDR and U.S. GRANT). He came to Burke and Screven Cos GA and later settled in Decatur Co GA where he died, evidently at the age of 106. His daughter Rebecca m Jackson INGRAHAM, and his daughter Martha m John INGRAHAM. I have not researched much of this information directly -- the following data is largely from references and from some cousins (especially Alex LEE of GA and Darla SPOONER ARNOLD of MS): William SPOONER b 13 Feb 1689 d 1750 m 25 Nov 1713 (son of Samuel SPOONER and Experience ?WING? and grandson of William SPOONER the immigrant) m Mercy DELANO (daughter of John DELANO & Mary WESTON and granddaughter of Philipe DE LA NOYE, Huguenot immigrant of noble ancestry) Simpson SPOONER b 12 Jan 1700 d 1742 m 19 April 1724 (son of Isaac SPOONER and grandson of William SPOONER the immigrant) m Sarah JENNEY b 28 May 1699, daughter of Lettice JENNEY & Desire BLACKWELL (who was the daughter of John BLACKWELL and Sarah WARREN, the grandaughter of Nathaniel WARREN and Sarah WALKER, and the great granddaughter of Thomas WARREN who was on the Mayflower). JENNEY ran the first gristmill in Plymouth MA and a replica of that mill exists there today as a tourist attraction. Joseph SPOONER b 19 May 1718 d 1770, his will of 23 Oct 1770 was probated 1771, (son of William SPOONER & Mercy DELANO) m 13 Nov 1748 Dartmouth MA m Deborah SPOONER b 15 Nov 1724 (his cousin, daughter of Simpson SPOONER) . Their seven children named in the will: Zoath, Simpson, Caleb, Ruth, Lois, Lucy and Mary. Their son Zoath (Zoah/Zoar) SPOONER RS b 1763 Dartmouth MA, in muster and payroll records of Capt. Daniel DRAKE's Company, Col. DRURY's Regiment, service was 3 months, 14 days at North River during 1781. Zoah was a mariner who sold property in MA while a resident of Burke Co GA in 1791 (he was a tax defaulter there in 1790), where he m1 1791-1797 m1 Katren/Catherine DUNCAN, daughter of Andrew DUNCAN and Elizabeth _____ of Screven Co GA, who d 1812-1820 Screven Co GA [DAR information has d 1822-1823, but she doesn't seem to be in Zoeth's household in 1820]. Zoeth m2 c 1829 Screven Co GA m2 Nancy _____ b c 1800. Zoeth moved to Decatur Co GA in the early 1830's, perhaps with his son Joseph in 1833; his son Adam was there by 1829 [Zoeth was involved with the founding of Wades Baptist Church in Screven Co GA in 1832-1834]. Zoeth's will of 6 Jun 1856 was filed for probate 2 Aug 1869 Decatur Co GA (I've not seen a copy or an abstract of this will). Thus he may have d at about age 106. Zoeth's eleven children [my ancestor Elizabth SPOONER GREINER and the also unproved but most probable son Joshua SPOONER make thirteen]: Joseph SPOONER b 17 Nov 1798 m 17 Jul 1823 Screven Co GA (m by Alexander HENDRY J.P., license 13 Jul 1823) m Elizabeth ROE b 1800-1810 [Elizabeth SPOONER b c 1800 d >1870 Screven Co GA m < 1827 m William J.

Have you a b date for Rebecca SPOONER INGRAHAM? The list of children "implies" b c 1810-1815, but that would mean that she wasn't married until age 30-35. ---------- I do not know if your INGRAHAMs are related to the family of John M. INGRAM/INGRAHAM. From GA census records, this family is likely in SC in 1850, but he appears in the 1852 tax roll of Screven Co GA in the 36th District as agent for B. F. INGRAHAM [I]. He has two children eligible for the "poore" school fund in 1855 (probably John R. and Mary E.), and with them in 1860 is a teacher, Oran MCFADDEN b c 1835 ME. In 1860-1880, this family is living near BURKEs, CAILEs and PARKERs in the 80th District; at least some are buried in a private Ingram(/Wallace?) family cemetery. John M.

Correction of and addition to the data are, of course, heartily welcomed. May God Bless You and Your Family, Bob (John Robert) PEAVY Rincon (near Savannah) GA
