    1. [INGRAM-L] Re: Spelling of INGRAM Surname
    2. Hi Mr. Ingram, Thanks for your response. I had wondered about the possibility of INGHAM being a variation of INGRAM since I have been unsuccessfully seeking anyone related to Myra (born Eggleston) Ingham, born 1 May 1862 and deceased 31 Jan 1946, who married an Edwin D. Ingham, born 4 Sep 1860 in La Grange, Texas and deceased 7 Oct 1947. They were married on September 4, 1887 in Osceola, Clarke County, Iowa. They had two known children: 1 Helen Lenore Ingham, born 29 Jun 1888, married 28 Sep 1945 to John A. Howard, resident Los Angeles, CA 2 Claude Eugene Ingham, born 26 Oct 1889, deceased Nov 1979 (probably California), married 5 Apr 1916 to Myrtle Guyda Wells in Lincoln, Nebraska. Claude was a banker in Los Angeles. Also, any information on INGHAM family; specifically, Alonzo Robert INGHAM married Molly Huffman FARLEY 28 Dec 1886 at Whiting, Monona Co., IA; also, Frederick Gregory INGHAM married Cora Konkle at Whiting, Monona Co., IA on 10 Mar 1895. Believe they are related to my Edwin David INGHAM who married my great aunt, Myra Elizabeth EGGLESTON. Myra Elizabeth (EGGLESTON) INGHAM, mother of Helen and Claude, was born the daughter of Alpheus EGGLESTON (Alpheus b 4 Jul 1830 Portage County, Ohio, deceased Osceola, Iowa 9 May 1905, buried Maple Hill Cemetery, and Mary BEUTELON, deceased. Osceola, Clarke Co., Iowa 15 May 1892, buried Clarke County, Iowa. I belong to the Society of Mayflower Descendants and all bloodline descendants of my Great Aunt Myra (Eggleston) and Edwin Ingham are Mayflower descendants through six lines through my Great Grandfather Alpheus Eggleston. I had contacted a man in Chicago who had published a book on Inghams and he had Myra and Edwins' names and names of their children, but could not connect them to any other INGHAM families. Myra (Eggleston) Ingham's brother, Richard "Dick" Lansing Eggleston, was my Grandfather. He was administrator of Alpheus's estate in 1907 and, at that time, Myra was living in Coleridge or Coldridge, Cedar Co., Nebraska. My grandfather (Myra's brother and uncle of her children Helen and Claude) was the Osceola, Iowa Marshall and Clarke County, Iowa Sheriff when he was tragically killed on duty in the 22 November 1917 Osceola, Clarke Co., Iowa town fire & explosion. When my Grandmother Dora (Lewis) Eggleston and my mother, Blanche Lenore (born Eggleston) Taake, who was 8 years old at the time of the explosion, moved to Des Moines, our family lost touch. I have wondered for many years about the families of my Grandpa's brothers and sisters and wanted to find them. If anyone is related to, or knows of, this family, please contact me. Sincerely, Jeannie Winter (Email: JWinter588@AOL.com)
