A fellow list member requested that I publish the findings from our line of Ingram bible. This copy of this �Miller/Ingram� bible is located in the �New Albany-Floyd County Public Library� located in New Albany, Indiana. It was submitted by: James R. Ingram, 2414 Jacobs Drive, New Albany, Indiana 47150. (My note: I have written twice to this person at this address. The letter was never returned nor did I receive a reply.) Along with a copy of this bible were notes that were copied from a �Webster�s Encyclopedia of Useful Information and World Atlas� and a book titled �Appletons� School Reader� This bible, encyclopedia and school reader were in the possession of Dr. George H. Ingram who lived in Effingham, Illinois Jackson Twp. at the time of his death. In our line of Ingram we have a granddaughter of Dr. George who wanted to belong to the DAR. It was only through her searching that we have been able to trace our line back to Dr. George�s grandpa, Andrew Ingram, who was in the Rev. War. Pension #S323338. This granddaughter�s name was Bertha. She married a Otto Amacher and lived in Marshall, Illinois. (My note: Bertha�s trouble was proving Dr. George�s father , James, was son of Andrew.) Bertha found a marble slab from an antique chest of drawers or dresser on the former home place of Dr. George. She took it home and after cleaning it found this carved on the back of the marble slab. J. I. B: 1787 Tenn. Died 1850 KY. (One proof that James was Dr. George�s father) Susannah D: 1846 (One of Dr. George�s wives) Mary A. D: 1856 (One of Dr. George�s wives) Dancy J. D: 1873 (Was this a typo in translating? Nancy perhaps?) Amos D: 1865 (One of Dr. George�s boys) Eli D: 1858 (One of Dr. George�s boys) If I am understanding the DAR requirements, Bertha needed another �proof�. She did not know where Dr. George�s bible was located until after her father passed away and then her brother. Her brother�s possessions were put in a box in Bertha�s attic and not discovered for many years. The DAR accepted this bible finding as enough proof for Bertha to join the DAR.

Since I don�t have the original bible - I don�t know if Dr. George wrote these names or was it entered by another?) Miller Ingram son Thom. Hawkins Co., Tn. Cousin of James (My note: Is Miller son of Thomas? Or did Miller have a son named Thomas? In Hawkins Co. Tn. I found a James Ingram who married a Nancy Miller - they had a son named Miller Ingram who was mentioned in Peter Miller�s will (Nancy�s father). Did Nancy die and James gave Miller to a Thomas Ingram to raise? Was this note by someone other than Dr. George - so they were guessing about the cousin part? Or did a Thomas Ingram really marry a Miller girl and have a son named Miller?) (also along side of page) Robert Ingram born January 13, 1891.
