I just want to tell a success story. Many of you have put up with my "queries" for years so I want to let you know of this breakthrough for me. I started this Ingram search in about 1995. It has been an uphill battle. The last of January this year, I located a "missing cousin". His mother and another "cousin" were active in searching for our Ingram line 1950/1960/1970. This "missing cousin" had a picture of our Dr. George Halleck Ingram! Dr. George was born 10 MAY 1817 in KY. He died 26 JAN 1894 in Effingham Co., Il. and is buried in the Freemanton Cemetery. He was married 4 times. Our line comes from his 3rd marriage to Nancy Jane Roberson. She was born 3 AUG 1838 in Indiana and died 11 JUN 1873. George and Nancy had 10 children. Married into this line of children was: Marion Denny, Joel L. Duncan, John McDill, Charlotte Bracken, Margaret Chezem, Ida Alice Byers, Charles H. Bourland, Alice M. Royer, Henry C. W. Heers, Effie (Redman)Zears and Josph L. Crumm. Marriages occur from 1888 to 1891. I still have many questions about Dr. George's father, James Ingram b: 1787 in Hawkins Co., TN. and died 1850 somewhere in KY. But I just wanted to know of my happiness and encourage you to "hang in there". I REALLY REALLY appreicate knowing of the progress of the volunteers working on Hawkins County past history. I want to thank them so much for the dedication and just having a progress report once a month is so encouraging to me. Thank you each and every one of you.
