    1. [ROBLEE] Ingalls
    2. Ira and Hepzibah (Hepsy) Hills Ingalls were with this group that passed through from the Granville area to the Town of Johnsburg area and then on to the western part of New York State before continuing further west. They left behind a stained glass window in the North River Methodist Church with their name on it and a child buried in the North River cemetery in 1824 named Christiana, "whose death was occasioned by the fall of a tree". The Hills family lived still in the hamlet of Johnsburg in the Town of Johnsburg when I was growing up. They had come from new England (MA?) and when I last checked in with Ingalls researchers, they believed that Ira was a cousin of Laura Ingalls Wilder of "Little House on the Prairie" fame. In her book "Farmer Boy", she tells of her husband Almanzo Wilder's growing up on a farm in the Adirondack Wilderness. Some of our relatives married within our little circle of pioneers and patriots and others took Native American wives. Phyllis Reed
