The Great Migration Begins
Sketches
RICHARD INGERSOLL
ORIGIN: Sutton, Bedfordshire
MIGRATION: 1629
FIRST RESIDENCE: Salem
OCCUPATION: Ferryman. ("Ric[har]d Inkersoll" was allowed one penny for every person he ferried over the north river, 16 January 1636/7 [STR 1:31].)
EDUCATION: Signed his will with a mark. The will also has the annotation, made by John Endicott, that "I read this will to Richard Ingersoll & he acknowledged it to be his will."
OFFICES: On 7 July 1644, ordered to "walk forth in the time of God's worship, to take notice of such as either lie about the meeting house without attending to the word or ordinances, or that lie at home or in the fields..." (apparently on the sixth Sunday following, paired with Robert Moulton, Jr.) [STR 1:131].
ESTATE: In 1636 received eighty acres in Salem, but not in the freeman's land [STR 1:20]. Granted one acre of marsh in Salem on 25 December 1637, with a household of nine [STR 1:103].
He received two acres for a houselot 6 April 1635 and was reminded to allow room for a highway on his land [STR 1:9]. With Edward Giles and Pasco Foot, Ingersoll was considered for land by the "frost fish brook" next to Goodman Barney, 10 April 1637 [STR 1:44]. On 20 November 1639 Richard Ingersoll received ten acres of meadow in the great meadow at Salem, having already received twenty acres on 23 December 1638 [STR 1:92, 94].
In his will, dated 21 July 1644 and proved 2 January 1644/5, Richard Ingersoll of Salem gave all to "Ann my wife," except to "George Ingersoll my son six acres lying in the great meadow," to "Nathaniel Ingersoll my youngest son a parcel of ground with a little frame thereon" (unless Nathaniel dies without issue, in which case the land should be divided equally among "John Ingersoll my son and Richard Pettingell and William Haines my sons-in-law"), to "Bathsheba my youngest daughter two cows", and to "my daughter Alice Walcott my house at town with 10 acres of upland & meadow after my wife's decease"; witnessed by Townsend Bishop [NEHGR 9:157] (What appears to be a different version of this will refers to both Bathsheba and Alice as youngest daughter, which is clearly impossible [EPR 1:43; EQC 1:76]. Without examining the originals of these documents we cannot tell whether the error was made by the seventeenth-century or the nineteenth-century copyist.)
The inventory, taken 4 October 1644 by Townsend Bishop and Jeffrey Massey, totalled £213 19s., of which £47 10s. 10d. was real estate: a farm, 80 acres, meadow, 20 acres, £14 3s. 4d.; another farm, 75 acres, £7; and 26 acres, 2 houses, 2 acres [and] a quarter of salt marsh, £26 7s. 6d. [EPR 1:458; EQC 1:76].
On 10 April 1668 Anne Knight deeded eighty acres at Royalside, bequeathed to her by her late husband "Richard Ingerson," to their sons "John and Nathaniel Ingerson" with the consent of her now husband John Knight Sr. of Newbury [EQC 4:109].
BIRTH: Baptized 10 March 1587 at Sandy, Bedfordshire, son of George "Inkerstall" [Abel Lunt Anc 63].
DEATH: Salem between 24 July 1644 (date of will) and 4 October 1644 (date of inventory).
MARRIAGE: Sandy, Bedfordshire, 10 October 1611 Agnes Langlye [Abel Lunt Anc 63]. Anne Ingersoll is included in the list of those admitted to Salem church before the end of 1636, with the annotation "removed" [SChR 6]. She married (2) by 1652 John Knight of Newbury and was living at the time he made his will, 5 May 1670, in which he bequeathed to "my wife's grandchild Thomas Hains, £10 to be paid after his time is out" [EPR 2:191].
CHILDREN (baptisms for i-vi from Abel Lunt Anc 65-67):
i ALICE, bp. Sandy, Bedfordshire, 21 December 1612; m. by about 1634 William Walcott (in the Salem land grant of 25 December 1637 "Will[iam] Walcot" was credited with a household of four, which indicates a wife and perhaps two children by that date [STR 1:103]), who seems to have become incompetent within a decade. (In December 1643 "Willia[m] Walcott's wife, children and estate" were entrusted to "Richard Inkersell, his father-in-law, to be disposed of `according to God; and the said William Wolcott to be and remain as his servant'" [EQC 1:57]. This arrangement lasted less than a year, terminated at the death of Richard Ingersoll.)
ii JOHN, bp. Edworth, Bedfordshire, 1 October 1615 and bur. there 17 November 1615.
iii GEORGE, bp. Sutton, Bedfordshire, 2 July 1618; m. by 1646 Elizabeth _____ (eldest child b. Gloucester 16 October 1646).
iv JOHN, bp. Sutton, 11 March 1620[/1?]; m. by 1644 Judith Felton (eldest child b. Salem 12 September 1644; in his will of 20 November 1683 John Ingersoll names as an overseer "brother-in-law Nathaniel Felton" [Abel Lunt Anc 67, citing EPR 302:57]).
v JOAN, bp. Sutton 3 March 1624[/5?]; m. by 1644 Richard Pettingill.
vi SARAH, bp. Sutton 1 July 1627; m. (1) by 1644 William Haynes; m. (2) Newbury 13 November 1651 Joseph Holton.
vii BATHSHEBA, b. Salem say 1629; m. Newbury [--] 16[--] John Knight (apparently by 1648, as eldest known child, son John, was b. Newbury 16 August 1648).
viii NATHANIEL, b. Salem about 1633 (deposed aged 40 years 30 June 1674 [SJC #1503], deposed aged "45 years or thereabouts" 25 June 1678 [EQC 49:15], deposed aged 60 years 25 December 1694 [SJC #3212]); m. Salem 25 March 16__ (which must be 1669 or earlier [TAG 27:130, citing ELR 7:57]) Hannah Collins.
COMMENTS: 28 May 1629 letter of instruction from Massachusetts Bay Company to John Endicott: "There is also one Richard Haward and Richard Inkersall, both Bedfordshire men, hired for the Company with their families, who we pray you may be well accommodated, not doubting but they will well and orderly demean themselves" [MBCR 1:401; SLR 1:xvi].
In the 1636 Salem land grant, Richard Ingersoll appears in that portion of the list which included "non-freemen," which in Salem tells us clearly that he was not a member of the church. In the 1637 Salem land grant, Richard Ingersoll is shown with a family of nine. Seven of his children were living at that date, but his eldest daughter Alice was already married to William Walcott and would have been included in her husband's household. Thus, there may have been an additional child otherwise unrecorded, but this child in turn must have died before 1644; alternatively there may have been a more distant relative or a servant living with the Ingersolls that year.
Ingersoll had the usual problems with fences and encroachment on land, but the land grant next to Jacob Barney was a problem. Ingersoll sued Jacob Barney at the September Term, 1639, probably regarding land [EQC 1:13]. Barney sued him back over feeding cattle in his marsh, September Term, 1640, and won a verdict of "[t]wo loads of hay at water side as convenient as his own was" [EQC 1:21]. Joshua Verrin sued Ingersoll at the same term over maintenance of a fence and was countersued immediately [EQC 1:22, 29].
For some of the larger and more expensive farm implements noted in Ingersoll's inventory, it is stated that he owned one third of each item. This would indicate that he shared ownership with one or two other husbandmen in the neighborhood, or, as seems more likely, with two of his sons. In depositions at the June 1678 Essex Quarterly Court, the brothers George, John and Nathaniel "Ingerson" gave evidence regarding events in the 1640s. George deposed that "living apartner with his father Richard Ingerson upon the farm that the said Rich[ar]d Ingerson hired of Mr. Chickering which the said Chickering had bought of Mr. Townsend Bishop," demonstrating that the Ingersolls were in a cooperative family enterprise and placing them on Mr. Chickering's farm.
Richard Ingersoll found the Salem miller lacking and in September 1640 took grandjuryman Lawrence Leech with him to the mill to prove that the grists were "much short of weight" [EQC 1:20]. His neighbors found his cattle and the cattle of a dozen other men offensive in the common cornfields and Ingersoll paid the court's fine [EQC 1:49, 56].
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: There is an excellent treatment of Richard Ingersoll in The Ancestry of Abel Lunt ... by Walter Goodwin Davis (pp. 63-68), and details may be found there of the marriages and later lives of Richard's children. Mrs. William C. Clark, "The Parents of Jonathan Haynes of Newbury and Haverhill, Massachusetts, and Some of Their Descendants" [TAG 27:129-34], provides extensive documentation on the fate of some of Richard Ingersoll's children and property. John B. Threlfall also published an account of this family in 1993 [GMC26 141-48].

FIRST GENERATION
1. Richard Ingersoll came to Salem in 1629 with Higginson, arriving June 29 A letter from Matthew Craddock, Governor of the company, to Mr. Endicott commends "Richard Inkersall and Richard Haward" who with their families came from Bedfordshire, England.
In the original list of householders receiving "House lotts graunted by ye town" (1638) Richard Ingersoll is given 2 acres, also 80 acres on the Cape Ann side. Later there was "graunted to Richard Ingersoll 30 acres of meadow in the greate meadow to be layd out by the towne."
In 1640 Richard Ingersoll's family is credited with nine persons and he is given an allotment of 1 acre.
The old town records state that "It is agreed that Rich'd Inkersall shall henceforth have one peny (a tyme to maintain the ferry) for every pson he doeth ferry over the north (ferry) river dureing the towns pleasure."
He died in Salem in 1644, probably soon after making his will, July 21, 1644, of which the following is a copy:--

Richard, the elder brother, brought with him to the new continent his wife Ann and a family of two sons and four daughters. A third son was born in Salem about 1632.
Richard Ingersoll died in Salem in 1644, probably very soon after making his will, of which the following is a copy: --

INGERSOLL
RICHARD INGERSOLL with his wife (who was Ann Langley, married at Sands, England October 20, 1616) and family came to New England in the immigration of 1629. A long letter of information and instructions dated at London May 28, 1629 and finished at Gravesend the 3rd of June 1629, was sent from the Governor and Deputy of the New England Company for a Plantation in Massachusetts Bay to the Governor [John Endecott] and Council for London's Plantation in the Massachusetts Bay in New England. One item referred to Richard Haward and Richard Inkersall, both Bedfordshire men, trusting they would be well accommodated and not doubting they would well and orderly demean themselves.
In Salem Richard Ingersoll lived for the next fifteen years, dying late in 1644. His will was dated the 21st of July that year and probated January 2, 1644/5. In it he named his wife Ann, sons George, John and Nathaniel, sons-in-law Richard Pettingell and William Haines, daughters Bathsheba and Alice Wolcott. One item of the will read: "I give to Nathaniel Ingersoll, my youngest son, a parcell of ground ... but if the said Nathaniel dy without issue of his body lawfully begotten then the land aforesaid to be equally divided between John Ingersoll my son and Richard Pettingell and William Haines my sons-in-law."
Nathaniel, born in Salem about 1632, and only a boy at the time of his father's death, lived to be over eighty and perhaps unknowingly erred in bequeathing this parcell of ground to the church. No child or grandchild survived him. It was nearly ninety years after the date of Richard Ingersoll's will that the title to the land was cleared and the names of a number of his great-grandchildren appear in Essex County land records.
Richard's widow married John Knight of Newbury and her daughter Bathsheba married his son, John Knight, Junior. Ann (Ingersoll) Knight died July 30, 1677.
SARAH INGERSOLL, born in England, daughter of Richard and Ann (Langley) Ingersoll, married about 1643 or 1644, William Haines of Salem. (See Haynes)

Richard Ingersoll came from Bedfordshire, England, to Salem in 1629, under contract with the Massachusetts Bay Company to take a place in the force of planters they were gathering. His family was to be brought over, and he was well spoken of by the company's secretary in a letter to Gov. John Endecott. [See Suffolk Deeds, I.] He maintained a ferry at Salem in 1636; had large property. He died in 1644. His will is interesting.

INGERSOLL
The name of Ingersoll has taken many different forms. Some of them are Ingram, Ingelow, Ingerson, Inglis, Inge, and Ingelside. Its origin is Scandavian and was brought to Middlesex and nearby English counties by invading Danes.
Richard Ingersoll was the first of the line in America. He arrived in Salem, June 29, 1629 from Bedfordshire, England with his brother John. Richard was born about 1595 and John in 1615. He came from Bedfordshire under contract with the Massachusetts Bay Company as one of the planters that the company was gathering. His family was also to be brought over. He was highly spoken of in a letter from the Company Secretary to Governor John Endicott.
In the original list of householders receiving lots granted by the town in 1638 Richard Ingersoll is given two acres. Also, he received 80 acres on the Cape Ann side and later 30 acres in the great meadow to be laid out by the town. In 1640 nine persons were in the Richard Ingersoll family and he is given an allotment of one acre.
The town records show that Richard Inkersall was permitted to operate the ferry over the north river in 1636 and was to receive one penny for each person.
On Oct. 20, 1616 Richard Ingersoll was married in Sands, England to Ann Langley. He died at Salem in 1644 and she died July 30, 1677. After his death she married John Knight, Sr., the father of John Knight, Jr., who was the husband of her daughter, Bathsheba.
On July 21, 1644 Richard Ingersoll made his will. It was proved in court on Jan. 2, 1744/5. It is as follows: "I Richard Ingersoll of Salem in the County of Essex in New England being weake in body but through God's mercy in perfect memory doe make this my last will and testament as followeth, viz: I give Ann my wife all my estate of land, goods and chattels whatsover except as followeth, viz: I give George Ingersoll my son six acres lying in the great meadow.

Ann Ingersoll was made executrix.
An inventory of the property was taken on Oct. 4, 1644. Some of the items listed were as follows: 7 cows, 34 Lbs; two young steers, 4 lbs.; bull, 7 lbs.; pair of oxen, 14 lbs.; two horses and mare and young colt, 25 lbs.; a farm of 80 acres, 7 lbs. A moose skin suit was another item.
Among Richard Ingersoll's papers was found this recipe: "A metson to make a man's hear groe when he is bald: Take some fier flies and some Redd worms and sum black snayles and sum hune bees and drie them and ppund them to powder and mixt them in milk or water".
It is claimed that a certain house in Salem was built by Richard Ingersoll and was the original of the romance by Hawthorne-"House of the Seven Gables".
Several years after the widow, Ann, married John Knight, Sr. of Newbury litigation arose over the farm her husband had willed her and in the trial her son in law gave the following testimony: "I Richard Pettingell, aged about 45 years doe testify that this farm of land that is now in contriversy was reserved by the widow Inkersoll to her self before her marriage to John Knight, Sr. and she verbally gave this land to John Inkersoll, her son. I, Richard Pettingell doe farder testify that about the year 52 the said John Knight came home too Newbury and tould his wife that hee had promised Mr. Pain sum timber at frost fish river; she was then troubled at it and said what have you to doe to sell my timber wher upon the said John Knight promised her twenty shillings, and the said John Knight, Sr. did then own that he had no right in that land". Essex Court Files XIV 28-32. John Knight then joined with his wife in conveying the farm to her sons John and Nathaniel "Ingerson".
The children of Richard and Ann Langley Ingersoll were:
1. George, b, 1618 in England; d. 1694, m. about 1642,
Elizabeth (???).
2. John, b. 1623 in England; d. 1683 in Salem, m. 1643,
Judith Felton.
3. Alice, m. before 1643, William Walcott.
4. Joanna, m. 1643, Richard Pettingell.

m. 1647, John Knight, Jr.
7. Nathaniel, b. 1632 in Salem; d. 1719, m. Hannah Collins.
Page 52
Joanna and Bathsheba are both ancestors. Through Joanna, Lewis Keeler Leonard, Sr. is a 10th great grand son of Richard Ingersoll. See the Pettingell Lineage. Through Bathsheba, Emma Melvena Burris is a 7th great grand daughter of Richard Ingersoll. See the Knight Lineage. This makes husband and wife, Lewis Keeler Leonard, Sr., and Emma Melvena Burris Leonard, 8th cousins, three generations removed.
