I don't know anything about the Ingrams but a ran across a couple of documents referring to Needham Ingram last week while I was in west Tennessee (Hardeman County). The documents are deeds of trust dated February 1830 and filed November 1830 from Susannah (Williams Fellow) Blackman to Needham Ingram. I am still trying to decipher the handwriting. I'll share if anyone is interested. Susannah Blackman was a resident of Sampson County and died there in 1837. (She's my 4th greatgrandmother.)
