    2. Hi Marc. I have for him: Richard Ingersoll was born Mar 16, 1586/87 in Epworth, Bedfordshire. He married in Sands, Bedfordshire, on Oct 16, 1615, Ann Langley. Richard and Ann Ingersoll came to Salem in 1629 with Higginson, arriving June 29. A letter from Matthew Craddock, governor of the company, to Mr Endicott commended "Richartd Inkersoll and Richard Howard" who with their familes came from Bedfordshire.In the original list of householders receiving "house lotts graunted by ye town" in 1638 he was givne two acres and also 80 acres on the Cape Ann side. He was later granted "30 acres of meadow in the greate meadow to be layd out by the town." In 1640 he is credited with nine persons and is given an allotment of one acre. The town record states that "It is agrees that Rich'd Inkersoll shall henceforth have one peny (a tyme to maintain the ferry) for every pson he doeth ferry over the north (ferry) river dureing the townes pleasure." He died in Salem on July 21, 1644.
