We have learned tht there was a Needham Ingram in 1800 Iredell Co NC, and a Needham Ingram in Johnston Co, NC, are they the same man? The reason I ask is that there is a line of Loopers who lived in Iredell Co, could Needham Ingram be a common link? The reason we are interested in this is that we are interested in the Lupo/Luper family that was in Johnston Co, we are trying to connect to the Lupers in 1840 Washington Co, AR, recall that there was also a Shadrick Ingram in 1840 Washington Co, AR. I noticed in one of the posts on the Shadrack Ingram family of Johnston Co NC that there was a John Lee who went to Bledsoe Co, TN, was there during the same time as James Wilson Ingram, who we believe is the same James Ingram who went to Washington Co, AR. But the material that was sent regarding the descendants of Shadrack Ingram does not seem to answer the question of who James Wilson Ingram might be. We wondered if anyone can tell us of related families research that might more fully identify James Wilson Ingram and connect him also to the Johnston co, NC, Ingrams. I guess what we are saying here is, were the James W Ingram family and the Lupo/Lupers connected before going to TN? We are pretty sure our Lupers were in Robeson Co, NC, for a while, don't seem to be any Ingrams there. We know from land entry records that James W Ingram and John Lee were in Bledsoe Co, TN, in the 1830's, and that James W Ingrams sons-in-law, Gilbert Luper and Young B Monday, were in Rhea Co, TN during the same time, Rhea co adjoins Bledsoe.
