Gail, I have information on Joseph Ingram the son of William and Elizabeth Ingram, but he is not my line and I have it filed away. This is what I remember for sure: Joseph was not William Ingram's eldest son. William was married a first time to a Lee. Shadrack Ingram, William Ingram's son, is named in John Lee, Sr., Esq.'s Will as a grandson. In the original of William Ingram's Will, but not in the abstract, Shadrack's sister, Elizabeth, is also named. I believe that she is an issue from William's first marriage to a Lee and is therefore a half-sister to your Joseph. John Lee, Sr's Will is not in good shape and it is possible that Elizabeth Ingram was also named in John Lee Sr's Will in the part that is difficult to make out. I have information on your Joseph Ingram, but it is largely undocumented and unproven. It is not my line so I have just stored this information in my files somewhere. I copied most of it from the Vertical Files in the Johnston Co NC History Room. There has been considerable interest in your Joseph Ingram. Perhaps you could write more about what you know already and post it again to the NCJohnst-List. Your message was hard for me to follow, and I made certain assumptions before answering you. Perhaps, as a result, I have misunderstood what you said. Franklin
