This is from my cousin, who is not an INGRAM, but would like for me to post this message for her. Reply to the list, and I will forward anything on to her. Thank you Thanks .. Valerie Forwarded message: My friend, Frances INGRAM Tucker, who is not online asked me to find out what I could about her INGRAM line. It is: 1. George Washington INGRAM and Sinia Catherine Harris 2. Grover Rilan INGRAM and Esther Swift 3. Frances INGRAM Johnson Tucker George Washington INGRAM was from Lees Summit, MO and moved to TX about 1889.

I had the following records copied in hopes of connecting to my ancestor, Lorenzo Ingraham who was born in 1819 at Williamsburg, Mass and married in Northfield, NY before 1850. Alas, no connection, but if anyone finds use of these records or has leads on Lorenzo, I would like to hear from you.

--PART.BOUNDARY.eml01.66c3.3638d4ca.0001 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Dear Jim INGRAM, Some additional comments: Decatur GA is the county seat of DeKalb Co, just east of Atlanta ( county seat of Fulton Co), in North Georgia, whereas Decatur Co GA is in the extreme southwest corner of GA along the boundary with FL; it's county seat is Bainbridge. Burke (county seat Waynesboro) and Screven Cos GA (county seat today is Sylvania, but was the now dead town of Jacksonboro when Zoeth was there) are in Southeast GA, south of Augusta (county seat of Richmond Co GA). With many places in GA the pairing is confusing: Screven GA is not in Screven Co GA, Washington GA is not in Washington Co GA, Lumpkin is not in Lumpkin Co GA , etc. In records from the last century, the name order did not seem to be significant (the name order may have indeed been significant to and consistent for the individual, but not in his/her records)-- I have records of many individuals where the order is reversed. The use of initials was even more confusing -- the initials for Adelia/Delia Frances might variously be "F. A." or "D. F.," for Ester/Hester "E." or "H.," and "H.K." for Hezekiah. Further, misreading of script by abstracters as well as we researchers leads to "Lion" or "Leon" for Sion, and "Luckey" for Suckey (nickname for Susannah). I also suspect that the illiterate person's use of a single initial of his first or last name as his "mark" (versus just an "X") leads to ascribing a middle initial where there is none (perhaps for James J. SCOTT Jr where the scribe wrote James SCOTT Jr and Mr. SCOTT himself made his mark "J" in the center). And, of course, variations in the spelling of surnames do not often sort out one group of families from another (INGRAM/INGRAHAM, CONNER/CONNOR, MIKELL/MCCALL, AMBROSE/AMBERS, PAVEY/PEAVEY/PEAVY/PEVY/PEVEY/PEVEE, etc.) -- due to record keepers, one unrelated family may eventually adopt the spelling of another family in the same area. The INGRAMs/INGRAHAMs who came from SC to Screven Co GA may not be related to yours in Decatur Co GA. I included the Screven Co GA INGRAM family of 1852-1897 just in case there might be such a relationship (but see the census records below). I know that, in addition to the family of Zoeth SPOONER, at least two other families (MOCKs, and John RAWLS and some of his children, some already married), and there are likely more, also moved from Screven Co GA to Decatur Co GA prior to 1850. The INGRAM family cemetery in Screven Co GA is in private (LEE) property in a field off GA Route 17, down a dirt road that is two miles south of Rocky Ford GA. The plots include just three headstones but twenty one unidentified wooden markers (and perhaps includes some WALLACEs). Some of the SPOONER data is from Decatur County Georgia Past and Present 1823-1991, published by the Decatur County Historical Society in 1991. Because Decatur Co GA is well out of my BES (Bulloch-Effingham-Screven) area of research, I looked at on-line resources for Decatur Co GA (the genweb site), which includes the Muster Roll of Company B of the 8th Florida Infantry Regiment (Young Guards) includes H.H. INGRAM (wounded at Sharpsburg and left on field), J.H. INGRAM (wounded at Sharpsburg) [could this be your Jackson Henry Jr?] and W. J. INGRAM, all three having been mustered in on 10 May 1862. This muster roll was published in Soldiers of Florida in the Seminole Indian, Civil and Spanish-American Wars, pages 191-193 (I do not have access to that reference). Further, Benjamin P. INGRAM was included in the Muster Roll of Company A of the 59th Regiment of the Georgia Volunteer Infantry (Anderson's Brigade, Hood's Division, Longstreet's Corps. Army of Northern Virginia, C.S.A., Decatur County GA ). This latter muster roll is found in Lillian HENDERSON's Roster of the Confederate Soldiers of Georgia 1861-1865 Volume VI pp 3-14. That Decatur Co GA {formed 1823 from Early Co GA} genweb site ( http://www.rootsweb.com/~gadecatu/) also included the following 1850 Census data (in 1850, Decatur Co GA included land that is today portions of Grady {1905} and Seminole {1920} Cos GA) for neighboring, and likely related, INGRAHAMs at households 91, 92 & 93: Decatur District 22/REEL 432-67/p 37A ===================================================================== LN HN FN LAST NAME FIRST NAME AGE SEX OCCUP VAL.

If you have the opportunity, please furnish the 1850 data (if anything is different from the above), as well as the 1860 and 1870 census data to which you referred. As I mentioned in the original correspondence, I would like to establish an approximate b date for Rebecca SPOONER INGRAHAM/INGRAM (b c 1820?). Her husband, Jackson Henry INGRAHAM b c 1807, and the other Decatur Co GA heads of household, John INGRAHAM b c 1797, William INGRAHAM b c 1798, and N. INGRAHAM b c 1804, are near in age to John M. INGRAM 10 Apr 1813 SC (parents b SC) d 2 May 1897 Screven Co GA, but the 1850 data says that all four were b GA -- do you have other data that gives their b place or that of their parents (1880 census shows that)? May God Bless You and Your Family, Bob PEAVY Rincon GA ________________________________ From: JIngram741@aol.com on 10/29/98 Subject: Re: SPOONER INGRAM Screven & Decatur Cos GA --PART.BOUNDARY.eml01.66c3.3638d4ca.0001 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="ATT00002.TXT" Thanks for the info...the info I have is rather confusing to say the least. We never knew my ggrandfather nor did my father and his brothers not even his name but I have traced him back to Ga. and was told he was from Northern Ga. but I found census records that indicate he may have been in Decatur, Ga. We were told that gggrandfather name was Henry Jackson Ingram but the 1850/1860 and 1870 show a Jackson Henry Ingraham living in Decatur, Ga. but the index shows it as INGRAM NOT INGRAHAM. The children living with him are by the same names and about the age those found in our family. Now in 1850 records indicate him being 43 years old and a REBECCA living in the same household. 1860 records do not show her in the household but I located the marriage record as you indicated of the marriage and that is about the extent of what I have found on either of them.. We were told gggrandfather had 3 sons all named after presidents.. JOHN WASHINGTON INGRAM but I found nothing but the census records on him. The other two moved to AR sometime after 1870 and died in Bradley Co. AR. where I have found records on them. There seems to have been one daughter which we never heard of named Martha J. Nothing on her. I found a letter in possession of one of my grandfather's half sisters from a TULULA SPOONER to her Aunt in AR (unknown who her aunt is) but she talks about her cousins CHLOE AND ALETHA. These are my grandfathers sisters. I have been told by one researcher that Jackson Henry spent some time in jail or prison during or just after CW unknown for what but we did find a request for restoration of his rights, again nothing from there. Now that I have bored you with my details this is all I can tell you but if you have any other info that would fit or happen to know where Jackson Sr. or Rebecca might be buried would appreciate knowing.. I did see the note in your mail about the family cemetery. Where is this located? Again many thanks for the info.. It is a lot more than I have been able to find so far and may really help...THANKS --PART.BOUNDARY.eml01.66c3.3638d4ca.0001--

Yes, Ingram Mill Road is named after the mill that was operated by Sidney Ingram . . . Some sources say it was the brother of Martin, Sidney S. Ingram (who is one of the four men who founded Springfield in 1832 or 3). Some say it was Martin's son Sidney Nichols Ingram. The Sidney Nichols Ingram's original mill was on the James river south east of town, Twp 28 Range 21 section 2. It was about a mile upstream of lake Springfield. Does anyone have the painting of this mill? The last I knew it was held by Mrs Maude (White) Ingram widow of Hal L Ingram. Does their son Dr. Sid Ingram have it? Everyone, Please visit my genealogy web site! I'd like to hear from my cousins! Beth Dodd beth@oakvalley.com http://www.oakvalley.com/adams/ http://www.oakvalley.com/genealogy/

In the 1850's or 60's Springfield Missouri, Sidney N. Ingram (b. 15 July 1832 d. 26 Apr 1908) and his father Martin Ingram (b. 29 Aug 1803 d. 1881) developed a new strain of Apple, named the Ingram Apple. Or did they? Sidney ran a saw and grist mill south of Springfield and his business partner Albert Garner McCracken ran a nursery. It is said to have supplied 3 states with fruit trees . . . Were the trees named for his wife Mary Jane Ingram? After Albert's untimely death, did Sidney patented the apple so someone in the family would get the credit? Does anyone know how to get a copy of the patten for the apple? Beth Dodd beth@oakvalley.com http://www.oakvalley.com/adams/ http://www.oakvalley.com/genealogy/

For years I've wondered about a main road here in Springfield, called "Ingram Mill Road", which runs parallel to I-65 at the eastern edge of town. Now I know! But I don't know anything about apples....sorry. However, On INGRAM MILL ROAD in Sprngfld is an LDS Family History Center. You might be able to find some info there.

Dear Jim INGRAM, Your query at the Augusta Genealogical Society website caught my eye when I saw SPOONER and Decatur [Co] GA: INGRAM - Seeking information on Jackson Henry Ingram (Ingraham) family or his wife Rebecca (Spooner) Ingram. 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.

Hi again, INGRAM list members. Here is the result of some research the past few years on a son of Warren County, NY (touched on in other post made today), John H. Ingraham, who died in the service of his country. The National Battlefield Park in Yorktown, Virginia, is of course the scene of the final major battle of the Revolution (1781). If you have been there, you know that today it is still a quiet, reverent place. Within site of the Park's Visitor Center, is a very well maintained cemetery, a National Cemetery maintained I think by the Park Service vice the DVA. The cemetery contains not Revolutionary dead, but U.S. and Confederate dead from the Civil War. At least one son of Warren County is there, John H. Ingraham (although his name is misspelled on the stone a little). The Underwood cemetery in Adirondack, Town of Horicon, is the final resting place for Melissa Barton Ingraham as well as other Ingrahams and includes a Civil War memorial marker for her son, John H. Ingraham, who was born in Horicon and started working as a lumberer at a young age (like the Underwoods). Thanks to the good work of some historians in Warren County you can see the list of those buried there on the Warren County Page. Also, although I am an Underwood and have direct ancestors buried there (to include John H. Ingraham's parents - I'm an Ingraham too), I don't think there are any Underwoods buried there. On 27 January 1861, claiming to be 20 years old, 5�6" tall, blue eyed with brown hair John H. Ingraham enlisted as a private soldier in Company I of the 96th New York Infantry (I/96/N.Y.) in Pottersville for a three year term of service. Actually, John H., who was born 26 May 1844, was only 17. About 50 of his neighbors enlisted at the same time, under the command of C.H. Burhans. John H. was killed in combat on or about 31 May 1862, at or near Yorktown, Virginia, and his name appears on the burial register at the National Cemetery, Yorktown (he is buried in plot number 562) as noted above. (And, as noted, little more than 80 years before, the United States had won its independence on the same ground.) According to I/96/N.Y. records received from the National Archives, John H. was reported sick in Washington beginning 12 April 1862 and declared (in error) absent without leave 18 August 1862 (after his death). He had apparently been separated from his I/96/N.Y. and reassigned to another unit when he was killed (without his own unit�s knowledge). He was (in error) declared a deserter later in 1862 and was administratively mustered out of I/96/N.Y., at City Point, Virginia, 6 February 1886 (nearly four years after his death). Justly, albeit belatedly, the Adjutant General�s Office of the War Department, issued the following order from Washington, D.C. on 20 March 1888: John H. INGRAHAM, Co. I, 96th Regiment, N.Y. Vol�s, Notation "of Nov. 8. 1887 is canceled. All charges of absent without leave and desertion against this man, subsequent to April 30th, 1862, are removed. He is supposed to have died on or about May 31st, at or near Yorktown, VA, as his name appears on the burial register and Roll of Honor of the National Cemetery, Yorktown, VA." (John H. Ingraham�s brother, Orange B. Ingraham (1846-1931), served in Company B, 46th Regiment, New York Volunteers and was wounded in the battle of Petersburg, Virginia. Orange H. Underwood, my grandfather was named after Orange B. (Orange not being a popular name for kids) By the way, the stone itself has the name John H. Jugraham, but it is clearly John H. Ingraham. I have thought about ways to rectify this as it seems, even so many years after the fact, the right thing to do. Footnote: History of Warren County. 1885 (republished 1981), p.242, "The Ninety-Sixth, in the early stages of its services, was severely depressed, through the unfavorable auspices by which it was surrounded, but after the brave and accomplished Gray (Charles O. Gray, lieutenant-colonel) was placed in command, the regiment rapidly attained a very high reputation. It had been precipitated by ill-advised councils into active service without the advantages of adequate drilling, and was hurried into the peninsula campaign before the habits of the troops were adapted to field duty, and why they were yet unacclimated. From this cause and some dissensions among officers, the efficiency of the regiment was much impaired for a period." We can speculate that for this reason, i.e., rushing untrained, undisciplined troops into combat without proper leadership - there probably wasn't much of this anyplace at the beginnin of th war, young upstate NY men died on the Virginia peninsula, in John H. Ingraham�s case, within a week of his 18th birthday. Bob Underwood Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Wanda Cole, There were Ingrams moving west from Virginia. One such: Uriah Ingraham b.1791 in Augusta Co. Va. Married Hannah Holder in 1809 in Randolph Co. Va. They left Virginia heading west and left descendants in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado. Probably many more places between there and California where his descendants finally settled. There was also a Jacob Ingram that left Virginia and went west. I don't know how far his descendants went but I do know many are buried in Bourbon Co. Kansas. A son James, went on to California. Ken Ingram King292@aol.com

Could it be that there were two William Ingram(s): one the father and one the son? I am looking for an Ingram or Ingraham who was born in Virginia and who begins to migrate westward. My gr gr grandmother was Mahala Ingraham who was born in Virginia around 1819/20. The next place she is found is in Des Moines County, Iowa, which is on the river across from Wisconsin. She marries Thomas Shanley in Des Moines County, Iowa, in 1838. Her first child a son was named William Arthur Shanley. This Thomas Shanley was a miner in Wisconsin who had taken up land there in So Lancaster Township, Grant County, Wis I thought for some time that Thomas, who mined in Missouri and who had gone to Missouri around this time to bring up his family, had married Mahala in Missouri or Wisconsin. His first wife seems to have died a little earlier. But he had a daughter by this first wife. Now, since I have found their marriage license in Des Moines county, Iowa which was actually part of Wisconsin Territory at that time, I have found a relative in Des Moines county, Iowa, by the name of Zadok Ingraham. Mahala named one of her sons Zadok. And, I think there were other Ingrahams or Ingrams in Iowa and Wisconsin around this time. I need to find the ones who were born in Virginia. Could there have been a William Ingram or other of your family who moved from Wythe Co, VA, to Missouri and Iowa after 1819/20 when Mahala was born and before 1838 when she married Thomas Shanley in Des Moines county, Iowa. Des Moines county is in the southeast corner of Iowa. I would appreciate hearing more about this line. Thanks, Wanda Cole>

NEWS AND NOTES FROM ROOTSWEB FASTER PAGES AT ROOTSWEB. As some folks may have noticed, access to <http://www.rootsweb.com> has been slower in recent weeks than it has been in the past. The reason is that so many genealogists are simultaneously using it that we are very nearly exceeding the amount of bandwidth we have available for transmitting Web pages through the Internet. To remedy that problem, RootsWeb has just signed a contract with Concentric.NET to obtain direct access to the Internet's backbone, and we will be moving the main Web server sometime within the next week. There will be about a four-hour downtime as we move the server. The great news is that this should allow us to serve pages as fast as the very best commercial sites on the Internet; the bad news is that this contract adds another $4,000 per month in expenses to our already extremely tight budget.

Hi Everyone, I'm back from my 5 weeks of vacation in Belgium. I will try to answer all my messages next weeks. I had about 180 messages so it will take some time. I rec'd this today, I thought I would pass it on. Michele ============== The British Vital Records Index on CDs, recently released by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, contains nearly five million names and some of the records date back to 1538. These new CDs contain individuals' names from parish registers, civil registration and other record collections in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. There are five CDs in the British Vital Records Index -- four of which are birth and christening records and the other is marriage records. The amount of accessible data varies greatly from parish to parish. This set of vital records is part of an ongoing project which will be updated periodically, according to the public affairs department of the church. "These new CDs may save families hundreds of hours of time and painstaking research," said Elder D. Todd Christofferson, executive director of the church's Family History Department. In a recent press release, Christofferson notes that the church is aggressively working toward developing other products that will simplify genealogical research, making it faster and easier to access needed information and trace family histories. "Nearly half of American families can trace part of their lineage to the British Isles," Christofferson said. "Our repository of records is the most comprehensive source available to help these families trace their roots, not just to ancestors who arrived in America, but to their forebears in 16th-century England." The British Isles Vital Records Index contains the highest number of records (100+ per county where records were collected) from the English localities of Sussex, Kent, Herefordshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire. Next in representation (50+) are: Yorkshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Wiltshire and Dorest; followed by (25+) for Hampshire, Gloucestershire, Staffordshire and Northunberland. Keep in mind that not all vital records for any particular locality are included. This giant index was put together from the work of thousands of volunteers who examined microfilmed records and extracted information such as names, dates, places and family relationships. The set includes the Family History Resource File Viewer, which takes about five minutes to install. You can search by surname or surname and given name. Additionally, searches can be modified to specific time periods of a five-year range and to certain localities. Moreover, you can further limit your search by including names of father, mother and/or spouse. Unless you check the box to search for an exact spelling, searches will provide you variant spellings -- a most helpful feature. After searching for a particular individual or for, say, all of the Peacocks (one of my English lines) in a particular locality, you can print out the data or save it in RTF (rich text format) or GEDCOM (PAF 3.0 format). A search provides the Family History Library's film number where the information was found along with where it was recorded, such as "Saint Michaels, Bishops Stortford, Hertford, England." System requirements: Pentium processor, Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0+, 8 MB RAM minimum, 16 MB recommended, CD-ROM drive (4X minimum recommended), VGA monitor with 256-color-capable video card and 25 MB hard disk space. The British Vital Records Index (1538-1888), item #50028 on five CDs is available for $15, plus small shipping fee -- credit cards are accepted.

My g-grandmother was Lauretta Jane Ingram (she always spelled it "Ingraham," but all the records I've found spell it "Ingram"). She married my g-grandfather in Lyon County, Kansas in 1888. Her parents were William John Ingram and Mary Ann Silvey, who had been married in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on 24 Jul 1851. They had migrated to Kansas via Morgan County, Ohio, where Lauretta was born in 1863, and Callaway County, Missouri. Soon after Lauretta's marriage, the family moved on to Snohome County, Washington, where both William John and Mary Ann died. Lauretta and her new husband remained in Kansas. William John Ingram had relatives already living in Kansas. The "Portrait and Bigraphical Album of Jackson, Jefferson, and Pottawatomie Counties, Kansas," published by Chapman Brothers, Chicago:1890, on page 683 has a short biography of another William John Ingram, who was almost certainly the nephew of my William John. This biography also relates the adventures of Arthur Ingram, the subject's father, who settled near Leavenworth, Kansas in 1867moving to a farm near Grantville in 1868. William John Ingram, the subject of the biography, married Miss Grace William in Meriden, Kansas on 18 Nov 1885. William John Ingram is also listed on the 1880 census in Jefferson County. The 1880 census also lists a J. S. Ingram living in Lyon County, Kansas, as well as a G. S. Ingram, a servant living with the Samuel A. Loy family, a Jennir Ingram living as a servant with the William Holiman family, who ran a boarding house, and a Lucia A. Ingram who lived in Emporia. There was also a David Ingram, a brother of my William John and the above Arthur, who owned property in Kansas and in Pennsylvania, and alternated living in the two states. Hope this is useful. I'm more than happy to exchange information. Bill
