THE HISTORY OF PORTLAND
In 1739 the large square bounded by Fore, Middle, and Exchange streets, and extending about twelve rods west of Exchange street, containing four acres, with a dwelling-house and barn upon it, was sold by Benjamin Ingersoll to Phineas Jones for four hundred and eighty pounds, equivalent to six-hundred and thirty-three dollar; it is now one of the most valuable spots in town. The house stood on the west side of Exchange street, a little above where
the Merchants' bank now stands. In 1740 , the north-easterly corner of Exchange street extending on that street fourteen rods or about half way down, was sold by Deacon James Milk to Joshua Freeman for eighty pounds, old tenor, about seventy-five dollars.

George Ingersoll became a prominent citizen. He had a chouse, and owned land in several places, which he sold and removed to Falmouth Maine. He was among the first settlers at Back Cove, Casco Bay, by June 25, 1657. He was a representitive to the General Court for Falmouth, 1657. He was a member of the first board of Selectmen of Falmouth.

1658: He bought 55 acres of land adjoining that of Thomas Skilling, March 25, 1658. He was a lieutenant in Falmouth, of the military force for protection against the Indians. He lived in a place called Capisic. During the attack of the savages in 1675, one son was killed and his house burned. He was the first to discover the murders of the Wakely family.

Ingersoll returned to the garrison and settled for twenty men who went to Casco with
him. On the 30th a Sergeant and company returned to the garrison.

His military talents and taste procured his promotion to the command of the militia company, an office he filled with much reputation to him self through the first indian war. He was driven from Falmouth by the Indian hostilities.

1680: He returned to Falmouth, Me., but there was another indian outbreak and he returned to Salem.

1685: He deposed as about 67 years , concerning the clearing of land by Richard Corben 28 years before. Robert Corben took oath of allegiance to Mass. Bay govt. July 13, 1658. He cleared and possessed a meadow from about that time; "he was slain by the Indians in the late war."
(Deposition of George Ingersoll, June 24, 1685.)

He is said to have been in the French and Indian war. 1689: Liet. George Ingersoll was also on the list: Falmouth, Nov 13, 1689. (Maine Hist. & Gen. Rec. 3, 1886). HRK comment: This may be the war of 1687-89, by which time he would have been close to 70 years old.

Before the second Indian War he removed to Salem, where he died, 1694, leaving two sons, George who was shipwrecked, and Samuel, who settled in Stroudwater. (Hist. of Maine. V. I)

HISTORY OF PORTLAND page 96-97
We find George Ingersoll here as early as 1657, but are not able to determine the period of his arrival; he was born in 1618, and was probably the son of Richard Ingersoll, a Bedfordshire man, who with his family was sent to Capt. Endicott, in Salem, by the Massachusetts Company in 1629. (see the company's letter in Hazard, vol. i. p. 279.)

We meet with the names of George Ingersoll and Robert Corbin for the first time in 1657; in 1685, Ingersoll testified that about twenty-eight years since, Robert Corbin cleared a parcel of that meadow, called George Lewis's marsh, about eight or ten acres or therabouts, at the north end of said marsh"

John Ingersoll's origin is unknown, although there were earlier Inkersalls in the borough of Derby who may have been related to him. The surname, at least in Derbyshire, may have originated from Inkersall, a location in Scarsdale Hundred. Kenneth Cameron suggests that the name may have been derived from "Hynkere's Hill", Hynkere is a nickname meaning "the limper, the lame one."

A family tradition says that he was a sergeant in the army at the time of the capture of Louisburg in the year 1758, and that he died at sea of a fever on the voyage home, when within one day's sail of port. Louisburg surrendered July 26, 1758, but the tradition is probably not in all parts reliable; a fair inference from the record quoted above being that he died a prisoner of war on board a French ship. (Joseph Foster, Pay Director, Rear Admiral, U. S. Navy; Retired, Portsmouth, N. H.)

Extract from a letter written by Mrs. L. F. Merrill (born Foster), the granddaughter of Medifer Ingersoll from Gloucester, July 3, 1852 in which she says: "My grandfather, Medifer, was a mechanic, enlisted in the army in the war with the French. My mother was a posthumous child. The next year the death of the mother left four destitute orphan children. Nathaniel went to New Gloucester with a Mr. Haskell to whom he was apprenticed and whose daughter he married. Dolly was adopted by her Aunt Ward. Zebulon lived with Mr. Moody of Newberry and I believe married his daughter. My poor dear Mother who was but nine months old, was taken by her grandmother Tyler; after her death by her Aunt Tarr. The issue of her marriage was sixteen children, eight of whom have lived to marry. This line has diverged extensively, there are thirty grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.

Nathaniel Ingersoll, gentleman of Falmouth, sells to Benj. Wait, trader, 1755, a certain tract of land which Benjamin Ingersoll, "my honored father, late of N. Yarmouth," sold to his son William and which I purchased March 30, 1749. The deed is signed Nathaniel Ingersoll and Joanna Ingersoll.

Came to New England on the 2nd Mayflower. The Master of this Mayflower was the famous Capt William Pierce. The ship left Gravesend, London, England March 1629 and arrived at Plymouth, May 15, 1629. There were approximately 35 passengers including Richard Ingersall, his wife Anne and children George, Joanna, John, Sarah and Alice. Kept the ferry at North River.

Seven Hundred Ancestors: 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".

Succeeded his father as town crier of Derby.

It appears that Thomas Ingersoll moved from Derby to the Greater London area, where he became a ropemaker in Stepney.. Around 1625, he returned to Derby, where he was a shoemaker and the town crier. A town crier was not the figure of legend who called out the hours throughout the night. He was instead a paid town official who made official announcements at specified times to a populace that was still largely illiterate. The Derby rental roles include yearly payments by the borough; the rolls for 1677, 1677/78, 1680, and 1682 show that he was paid £2 12s a year for performing his duties.

Thomas Inkersall of St. Werburgh paid 2s at the "Free and Voluntary Present of 1661" (supposedly a "voluntary" gift on the restoration of Charles II after the Commonwealth period), and he was assessed for one hearth, 1662-1670.

He executed his will on 12 August 1673, when he was sickly and weak, but he recovered and continued to perform his duties as town crier. When he died in 1681, he was about 88 years old. His son, Samuel Ingersoll, succeeded him as town crier and may well have been performing the duties earlier.

He is probably the William Ingersoll who married Elizabeth Knowls, both of Cumberland County, Maine. They moved to Washington County in 1779. He built the first mill to saw lumber on the river at Columbia Falls.

Revolutionary Service--name occurs in a list of men raised to serve in the Continental Army as returned by Moses Noyes, Chairman of Selectmen and Chairman of Newbury. Joined Capt. Samuel Carr's Company, Col. Wesson's (9th) Regt., term 3 yrs. Reported discharged Feb. 17, 1780.

Haverhill Tablet No. 58 marks home of Zebulon Ingersoll prior to 1800, erected on the 250th anniversary of the settlement.

At the close of the Revolution Col. Ingersoll settled in East Haverhill; was a merchant, a ship builder, and an active and energetic business man.

Benjamin Isham resided in Concord, Vt. until his marriage or three or four years later. He then went to Lunenburg, Vt., where he lived for twelve years. He then returned to Concord and lived with his parents on the home farm for several years. He then removed to Victory, Vt., buying a farm on which he lived for twenty years. After his second marriage he again returned to Concord, where he ended his days.

Freeman 1684

James Jackman (1), was born at Exeter, County Devonshire, England, 30 Dec., 1611. He m. -- Joanna--- (perhaps her surname was Gage). He came to America,---- [what ship?] and settled at Newburyport, Mass. on the coast.

In the Court records of Sept., 1655 in Ipswich, his testimony was given in an estate matter involving the will of Henry Fay. Henry Fay died a single man in Newbury and desired Mr. Robert Long and James Jackman, his friends, to pay his debts out of the estate and to make sure the whole remainder of his estate went to his brother's children who were apparently all living in England. Joane Jackman of Newbury also testifed that "Henry Faye tould her that his brother's children should have what estate he had, but he said he would leave his estate with my husband & Rovert Longe untill the said children doe com."

James was made a freeman 1684. He died at Newbury, 30 Dec., 1694 (age 83). [Note, many of the children removed to Salisbury]
