This may be missleading however, The ammunition box may have come from th USS Ingham commissioned in 1935 and is names after Samuel D Ingham who was Sect. of the Treasury. To the best of my knowledge she is still afloat with the US Coast Guard. She served in the Atlantic and then the Pacific before being turned over to the Coast Guard.

Hi,

I am very interested in that you have wills for Jonas 1701 and Grace 1722/3 Ingham. I have been researching the Wadsworths (Grace W) - as far as possible confirming my speculations from the Heptonstall BMD's by primary sources. I can give you some information on Grace and her siblings. She was the daughter of Henry Wadsworth of Stansfield. I would be interested in anymore information form Jonas and Grace's will.

Hi Joseph,
I tried to respond to the email address you gave but it said you did not have an account with Yahoo. Any idea on why?
Here is the letter I wrote:

Dear Joseph,

My source for the story about the Ingham family is an article I found online called "Research of Donald R. Repsher, of Bath, Pennesylvania, Friend and Brother of the Lenape; Collected Short Articles from Bucks County" . This has some interesting information, as well, on the Great Spring and its geology. I have attached some of it, below. For the rest of it you'll have to google the article.

Are you asking for my documentation as to my descendancy from Jonas Ingham? I have my grandfather's handwritten genealogy (as well as other primary sources). This may be of interest to you, as I haven't seen this line documented anywhere else.

I will start with my grandfather and go backwards:

Richard Edgar Bishop (architect) m. Ruth Amelia Trueblood (obituaries, Trueblood Family in America, in which i am listed)
|
Vora (Watson) Sumption m. George W. Bishop (History of Cass County)
|
Samuel I. Watson m. Catherine Fries
|
John Watson* m. Euphemia Ingham , her brother was Samuel Dulcenna Ingham
(Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania BIography http://montgomery.pa-roots.com/Biographies/RichardWatson.htm...)
|
Jonathan Ingham m. Ann Welding (see above)
|
Jonas Ingham m. Deborah Bye (see above)
|
Jonas Ingham, first settler in Bucks County (and America)(Research of Donald Repsher)

*son of Dr. John Watson, friend and colleague of Dr. Jonathan Ingham

As for primary sources, I do have some primary records on the Watsons, and primary sources on my grandfather.

My great-great grandfather's (Vora (Watson) Sumption Bishop's father, Samuel Watson) half brother was RIchard Watson, a famous judge in Bucks County, and there is documentation available online on this (see above, under John Watson) as to the genealogy of the Watsons (Vora's grandfather m. secondly Martha Duncan, and they had RIchard and Martha). I have censuses that show Vora (Watson) Sumption and Vora (Watson) Sumption Bishop. Also a town history of Walton, Indiana, with Vora Sumption as the wife of George W. Bishop a prosperous citizen of that town, who owned a bank and a dry goods store, as well as several farms. The history includes my grandfather as their son.

Alvora (Vora) Watson was married twice, once to David Sumption, secondly to George W. Bishop. She had three children from her first marriage, and just my grandfather from the second. This is also mentioned in the Cass County history.

Hope this helps! My documentation is partially just the knowledge that my grandfather knew this information, and was a very reputable person, as well as a few primary and secondary documents.
Sincerely,
Sarah K. Owen

P.S. I have just noticed that Ancestry.com has Samuel I. Watson and Catherine Friese and his ancestry to the Inghams, as well as the daughter, Alvora (Vora) and her first marriage.

1. LAST DELAWARE INDIAN IN BUCKS COUNTY
Wrightstown Township
Mrs Louise Woodman, Wycombe, Pennsylvania; read at the meeting at Huffnagle House, New Hope meeting, October 28, 1916. (Published in “A Collection of Papers Read Before the Bucks County Historical Society,” Volume 4, pages 673-674; printed for the Society by B. F. Fackenthal, Jr., Riegelsvile, Pa. Marx Room, Easton Public Library, Easton, Pa., H 074.821 B 926-c.)
The Delaware Indians left Bucks county and this part of the country in 1775. Two of them, Indian Billy and his squaw Polly were too old to go with them and as they had no children to care for them they were left behind. Miss Mary Woodman’s great-grandfather, William Worthington, had on his property near Mill creek below Wycombe an old house in which he fitted up one room and made it comfortable for them to live in, and they supported themselves in part by making baskets which they sold.
Polly died first, how long before Billy, no one knows. Miss Mary’s grandmother (Mary Worthington Smith) told her when Billy got sick, her brothers, who were young men, went twice a day to look after him and attend to his needs. One morning they found him dead.
As grandmother was a young girl (she was married in 1785 at the age of twenty), we place Billy’s death about 1780. She went to the house to get something that belonged to Billy
-1-and found his small axe or tomahawk. After she married she used it to chop bones and it has bene used for that purpose in recent years. Its original handle was made of a hickory sapling similar to its present one, which was made by Mary Woodman’s mother’s rolling-pin, and fastened to the axe by Wilson Woodman. It is made of wrought iron and doubtless was forged by an American blacksmith, but no one knows where it was forged.
It is the typical form of the American pitching axe. Size 16 inches long by 4 1⁄2 inches wide. It is now in the museum of the Bucks County Historical Society (No.8, 857).
The house Billy lived in was standing in 1816, but when it was torn down, no one at present knows, though the foundations were plainly visible in recent yeas. It was less than 300 yards from the Mill creek and about one mile from its mouth, quite near Robin run which flows into Mill creek. The land on which it stood has just passed into stranger’s hands. Martha Woodman, wife of Comly, nee Worthington, and great-granddaughter of the above mentioned William Worthington, having sold it.
The two Indians are buried in the old Hickst graveyard, also a part of the William Worthington tract (present owner, Howard Walker). Mary Woodman has had two stones erected to mark the places where they are buried. Last fall (1915) when in her eighty-third year, she planted blue bottles to their memory on their graves.
Adjoining the house in which Indian Billy and his wife lived and died there was a tract of two or more acres of land cleared and cultivated by the Indians long before this time. Its bounds can still be traced by huge forest trees.
-end - >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2. SKETCH OF DR. JONATHAN INGHAM Solebury Township; Ingham’s Spring; Auquetong
John Hall Ingham, Esquire, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; read at the Doylestown meeting, January 15, 1921 (Published in “A Collection of Papers Read Before the Bucks County Historical Society,” Volume 5, pages 308-311; printed for the Society by B. F. Fackenthal, Jr., Riegelsville, Pa. Marx Room, Easton Public Library, Easton, Pa., H 974.821 B 926-c.)
The grandfather of Dr. Jonathan Ingham, Jonas Ingham, a native of England and a member of the Society of Friends, came to New England about 1705, and in 1730 moved with his family to Bucks county, Pennsylvania. His only son, Jonathan, succeeded to his father’s farm and fulling-mill.
Among the grants of land made by William Penn in 1702 was one of about five hundred acres to James Logan, his secretary, located in a limestone region along the upper reaches of the Delaware, in Solebury township, and abutting on the Proprietary Manor of Highlands. This was a beautiful domain and was called in Logan’s patent, the “Great Spring Tract” and by the Indians, “Aquetong.”
In 1741, Logan sold two hundred acres of this property to Jacob Dean and the residue, in -2-
1747, to Dean’s brother-in-law, Jonathan Ingham.
The latter lot included the Great Spring and this property remained in possession of the Ingham family for over one hundred years. Jonathan Ingham was successful as a farmer and clothier, filled the offices of justice and judge and, as a member of the Colonial Assembly, took an active part in the contests of that body with the Proprietaries.
Jonathan, by his wife, Deborah Bye, had three sons, John, Jonas, and Jonathan. The last- named, who is the subject of the present sketch, was born at Great Spring on July 16, 1744. The father was a narrow sectarian and, considering the heretical views of the oldest son, John, a proof of a disordered mind, sent him to a hospital for lunatics, where he died soon after. This measure was disapproved by the two brothers, especially by Jonathan, but such autocratic proceedings were more in vogue in those patriarchal days than they fortunately are now.
The tastes of Jonas were scientific and he became a mathematician and a natural philosopher and made several useful mechanical inventions. He, too, seriously offended his father by an unsanctioned marriage and, as a result of this, Jonathan was later placed at the head of the paternal establishment.
Jonathan early in his life showed a great fondness for languages, especially for the Greek and Latin classics, of which he acquired considerable knowledge with little or no assistance. At the age of nineteen, a disagreement with his father threw him on his own resources and he became an assistant on the farm of Dr. Paschal, near Darby. The latter had a fine library and this gave the young assistant an opportunity of extending his classical studies during his leisure hours. Such a predilection aroused the Doctor’s interest and he decided to offer the young man a situation as student of medicine and this offer was gladly accepted. A lifelong friendship between the two was the result and, when his studies were completed, Jonathan, it is thought through the intercession of the doctor, was invited home and, as has been said, placed at the head of the establishment.
At the age of twenty-five, he married Ann Welding of Bordentown, New Jersey, and, with the aid of her portion, was enabled to purchase the family estate. They had eleven children, of whom the fifth, Samuel Delucenna Ingham, became prominent in the political life of the nation and was Secretary of the Treasury in (President) Jackson’s administration. The writer of the present sketch is his grandson.
Dr. Jonathan Ingham became a well-known practitioner, in addition to his labors as manager of the farm and the fulling-mill. His ledger from September 1782 to May 1786 has come into the possession of this society and a few remarks on it will not be out of place.
It starts with an estimate of his cattle and horses at 1,325 pound 10 shillings, of the house furniture at 132 pounds 10 shillings, and of the framing utensils at 62 pounds. Daily disbursements and receipts are entered with great regularity and the account of the house, the farm, the fulling-mill and the sawmill are interspersed among those of his numerous patients. Among their names are many still extant in the county, such as Coryell, Paxton, Ross, Lear, Ely, Watson, Scarborough, etc., and there is a Thomas Biddle, who suggests the neighboring metropolis.
-3-
There are patients, too, of humbler rank, such as Negroes Jack, Tony, Peter, Sam, Dina, and Helens, Molatto (sic) James, Indian Dina, Dutch Jacob and Cobble John.
Inoculations are frequent and seem to cost from 11 shillings to 1 pound 2 shillings 6 pence per person, while bleedings cost about 1 shilling 6 pence and there is a charge of 3 shillings 9 pence for gelding a calf.
There is an account with “Wife’s Estate in New Jersey” and a debit “To Cash, Rum, etc.” 1 pound 2 shillings would not please the prohibitionists, if there were any such at that time. In Abraham Littleton’s account the value of “a Spinning Machine left useless on my Hands at his Death” is placed at 7 ponds 10 shillings. A careful examination of this ledger will repay those interested in antiquarian and genealogical researches.
The doctor, notwithstanding his many preoccupations, continued his studies, became a good Greek and Latin scholar, understood German also, and was tolerably versed in a Hebrew, French, and Spanish. He translated many of the Odes of Pindar and Theocritus and turned some of the books of Fenelon’s “Telemaque” into English verse. He cold converse with one tribe of Indians in their own dialect.
I have before me a manuscript translation of the Elegy on the death of Bion by Moschus, 58 stanzas, with a refrain, in which the versification is smooth and scholarly. I quote three verses and the refrain in full.
1. Ye spacious bending Forests moan,
Let Vocal Rocks and Mountains groan, Let every murmuring Stream
More tuneful, more melodious flow In solemn ecstacy of woe
To deck the ushering theme.
3. Alone may Flowers on Ivy blow,
No more their dearest sweets bestow. The Roses of the morn,
The anemone in concert blest To deck the beauteous Virgin’s breast
Shall now no more be worn.
4. The lettered Hyacinth but show
In lasting characters of woe ` How we our loss deplore
Alas! alas, be plainer read Upon its lowlier drooping head,
Since Bion is no more.
-4-
(Refrain) Sicilian Muses, come begin the strain In all your moving elegance of verse.
O, by your influence sadly soothe our pain, To latest times our poignant woes rehearse.
The Revolution coming on, he entered with zest into the spirit of the spirit of the American cause. His brother Jonas took the field as officer of a volunteer corps and the doctor constantly gave his professional services to the troop. In fact he was enlisted himself, as shown in the return of Capt. Robet Laning’s Company in Solebury in 1782 (see Pennsylvania Archives, Series 5, Vol. 5, page 551). And, as to Jonas, see the same volume, pages 330, 337-8, 406, 441.
The Ingham estate was the camping ground of George Washington and his troops on their retreat from New Jersey in 1776 and the buildings were used as hospitals, with Jonathan in constant attendance on the sick and wounded.
When the war closed, he took an active part on the side of the Republican Whigs and wrote much against what he considered the monarchial tendencies of certain measures. He denounced the scheme of funding the war debt for the exclusive benefit of speculators, while the poor soldier, for all his services and sufferings, had to be content to receive two shillings and six pence to the pound for his certificate. Many of his neighbors disapproved of his politics, but he “silenced them by the pungent satire of his burlesque Pindaries.”
During the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia in 1793, the doctor visited the city to make a scientific study of the disease. After his return home, hearing that many of the physicians had fled form the plague-smitten city, e denounced such conduct and in his indignation decided to go back. With his friends, Dr. Hutchinson and Samuel Wetherill, Jr., he visited and helped to relieve the sufferers in the most infected districts. Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration (of Independence), was engaged in the same splendid work and was honored by the Czar or Russia with a gift of a fine ruby as an appreciation of his services therein.
Dr. Ingham finally contracted the disease and, having a great belief in the medicinal value of Schooley’s Mountain Springs, started for that place with his wife and her brother in a farm wagon. The houses along the way refused to take him in, and he died in the wagon at the roadside at a point one mile west of Clinton, New Jersey, October 1, 1793.
He was buried in the graveyard of the Bethlehem, New Jersey, Presbyterian Church.

I am descended from the Inghams through my great-grandmother, Vora Watson Bishop, who was the granddaughter of Dr. Jonathan Ingham, son of Jonathan Ingham and Deborah Bye.I recently read that Jonathan Ingham, son of Jonas, disowned his sons, the story going that the oldest son, John, was placed in a lunatic asylum because he didn't adhere to Jonathan's standards, and the other two, Jonas and Jonathan objected, thus were disowned. Of the three sons, the oldest, John, died in the asylum, Jonas enlisted during the revolution and later became a scientist and mathematician, and Jonathan became a doctor who treated Washington's troops when they were camped at the house near Great Springs. Jonathan, by that time, had been reunited with his father through the intercession of a family friend. So, it sounds like the elder Jonathan had some pretty tough ideas, which he may have gotten from his father, Jonas Sr. If the children were allowed to choose their own guardian, they may have preferred a gentler soul. Apparently, the severity trait was not passed on to the sons. Dr. Jonathan was practically a saint, who went to Philadelphia to help with the yellow fever epidemic (while many other doctors were retreating to the countryside), contracted the disease and died of it. Sorry if this is all info you are already aware of. It was news to me!

Hello, my name is Heather Super, I live in Bermuda, been here my whole life, both parents Bermudian. Anyway, i don't have info about your Grandmother, but I recently found old documents from your Great-Grandfather, Samual Saltus Ingham.
Around 30 years ago, my Father bought a building in our city of Hamilton which he owns with 3 other people. The Building was previously called "Ingham and wilkinson", (Samual Saltus Ingham being one of the owners).
He, or someone left a box filled with old documents, and no one ever claimed them so my dad brought them home, and although they are very cool, we are not sure what to do with them.
The box is actually an ammunition box, its metal and has the initials S.S.Ingham on the front very clearly, haven't faded with time. And there is an insurance policy on a house here in bermuda that's all hand written in caligraphy style.....the ink hasn't faded either. It was written out, i think in the 1890's (its at my dad's house so I'll have to double check).
I don't know if any of this interests you, but i came across you're post online and thought I'd mention it to you. Please contact me, my email is heathersuper1004@hotmail.com
Thanks.

Hi Carol- this is very interesting. As I said my father is half brother to Paul and Roy, my father remembers Paul coming to see Stanley (Pauls father)to say goodbye and that is how I was able to find him on a passenger list as I knew the approximate date he went abroad. Although dad thought he was going to New Zealand.

I am not in touch with anyone in Victoria but I know a female ancestor I think it was Frances emigrated to Victoria in the mid 1800's.

Unfortunately I can't help you with Oates and Rachel as I have been researching them for quite a few years and come up against a brick wall.

Are you a member on Genesreunited if so we could share our trees.

Sorry l havent been in touch for a while. However, just wanted you to know that l have been lucky enough to find quite a lot of information about Oates and Rachel from one of my 4th cousins who l have met on line here at ancestry. He is just getting all his information on but it has been fantatic. I have posted it all to my tree so please feel free to have another look at the tree as the information l previously sought on Oates and Rachel is now there.

Hope you find it interesting.

Yes l am indeed a relation but a few generations back. Paul Geoffrey and my Grandfather Horace were cousins. However, you do have an even closer relation to you here in Victoria as well who is also doing ancestry online. She is a direct decendent of this line. Possibly you have already made contact with her. Can l ask where you fit into the family? Would love to hear from you again.

Thanks

Obit: Josie (Ingham) Fernau-England (1903-2011)

wilsonje19 — 2011-06-07 02:51:59Z

Josie Mariah Fernau England, daughter of Jesse W. and Elizabeth J. (Baker) Ingham, was born April 6, 1903, in Glenco, Oklahoma. She began grade school in Oklahoma before her family moved to Iowa and made their home near Swaledale. Josie completed her education in Swaledale, graduating from Swaledale High School. Following high school, Josie attended the Des Moines University for two years and then she received her nursing degree from Kewanee Hospital Nursing Program in 1927. Josie earned money for her education by selling Bibles door to door.

On June 1, 1928, Josie was united in marriage to Dwight W. Fernau in Swaledale, Iowa. To this union three children were born. Josie was employed as a Registered Nurse at the Toledo Children’s School and later went to work at the Fort Dodge Hospital. She was also a nurse at the Mason City Hospital before moving to Sioux Rapids.

Josie and Dwight owned and operated the Sioux Rapids Hospital for twenty four years. Dwight passed away in 1960 and Josie continued to operate the hospital until 1965. Josie was proud of the fact that she assisted in the delivery of over 700 babies. After selling the hospital, Josie continued her nursing career as the nurse at Camp Foster and later she worked at Longhouse Nursing Home in Spencer.

On November 29, 1975, Josie was married to John England. They made their home in Clear Lake.

Josie was a member of the First Baptist Church, Easter Star and Women’s Society of Christian Services. She was an avid reader and enjoyed doing handwork. Josie loved music and in her younger years liked to golf and bowl.

In 2000, Josie moved to the Ruthven Community Care Center. Josie passed away May 31, 2011, at the age of 108 years.

Does anyone have this book? I am trying to find ancestors of my 3x great grandmother, Narcissa Ingraham (ca 1800 - 1873) in Groton, New London, CT. She married Asa Ashbey (1795-1877) in Groton in 1821. I think she may be the daughter of Alexander Ingham/Ingraham (ca 1764 – aft 1850) born in Hebron, Tolland, CT.

elayman73 — 2011-02-19 18:58:02Z

My first Waterhouse ancestor in colonial America (Joshua Waterhouse) arrived with Jonas Ingham in 1730 in what is now called New Jersey. Joshua married Jonas' daughter Elizabeth.

I have donated about 100 copies of my book ("Richard Green Waterhouse 1775-1827 - Tennessee Pioneer") to libraries and genealogy societies (NYC, Pa, NJ, TN, TX, etc) so you might want to check local organizations to see if they have a copy.

The book includes Ingham information.

Elizabeth Waterhouse Layman

Jonas Ingham migrated from Halifax to New Jersey

elayman73 — 2011-02-19 18:19:14Z

Jonas Ingham (c1680-1754) of Yorkshire, England was in what is now called New Jersey at least by 1730. He married Elizabeth Woodhouse (1680-1748). The family lived in Ingham Springs (Buck County, PA) and Hunterdon County (New Jersey).

Their daughter Elizabeth Ingham (1720-1797) married Joshua Waterhouse (1693-1772) and they had a son Henry Waterhouse (1745-1808) who married Elizabeth Green (1747-1806).

Henry and Elizabeth lived in Hunterdon County (NJ) and had a son Richard Green "RG" Waterhouse (1775-1826).

RG Waterhouse migrated from New Jersey and settled in Rhea County, Tennessee. RG and Rosannah Roddy had a son Col. Richard Waterhouse (1805-1863) who married Mary Thomas Lane (1813-1872 - descendant of Rev. Tidence Lane of Tennessee).

Col. Richard Waterhouse (veteran of Mexican War) and Mary Thomas Lane had a son Gen. RG Waterhouse (fought in Mexican and Civil Wars and settled in San Augustine, TX and Jefferson, TX). He and his wife Rosalie Wallace (1839-1866) had a son RG III (1860-1916) who settled in Mt. Morris (Livingston Co, NY), married Johanna Keating (1873-1956) and had a son William Keating Waterhouse (1908-1962) - my father.

I have a Harry Ingham in my family tree. He was married to Gladys Booth (born 1900) in Haslingden,Lancashire, England in April of 1924.

Gladys had a sister named Kathleen, who married a man named Jack Harwood in Apr 1930. This marriage also took place in Lancashire. Glady's parents were James Booth and Margaret Hargreaves. James left England in 1910 under circumstances that I am still trying to determine - leaving both girls in England with their mother (he never met Kathleen).

If these folks sound familiar, I'd love to hear from you.

Stephen Henry Ingham

susanhreed — 2010-07-11 20:28:00Z

Stephen Henry Ingham was born April 14, 1887, Lennoxville, Quebec Canada, the son of Daniel Mack Ingham (1824-1893) and his second wife, Fannie Eliza Hope. I have the record of Stephen's baptism, and various residences in Canada and the US. In 1942, he registered for the draft and gave his residence as Salem, Oregon. Then he drops from view. I believe Fannie married again after Daniel's death, to a Wm Watkins, but then she also vanishes. What happened to Stephen and Fannie? Are you a relative. I have great Ingham information and would be glad to share. We rae descended from Daniel Mack Ingham and his first wife, Caroline Mower.

Silver pickle dish, Ed. S. Handy.

Re: Ingham family in Lancashire

pafwilson — 2009-03-26 22:06:47Z

My father's mother's mother was Mary Ingham, also daughter of the same Samuel Saltus Ingham. I am sure you know more than I do about the family, but have a look on my website (www.familyhistoryofphilipwilson.co.uk + www.whobegatwhom.co.uk) to see what I have already, mostly gained from a few sources who live in Bermuda who are also related. I would be very interested in the shipwreck story, as I am fairly hazy when I get back that far, and the tree I have is not neccesarily 100% accurate. Have you seen SSI's father's will, a copy of which I could send to you, as he was also an important person in the shipping business at the time.

Mary Ingham married a visiting British soldier, Pulteney Murray, and they moved to the UK. Their daughter Gladys was my father's mother.

SSI had 16 children: which one are you related to??

Please contact me directly through the contact email on the website if you would like to.
