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
