From Lance Ingmire:

ALMOST THE ENTIRE CONTINGENT OF INGMIRES IN THE USA GENERATES FROM ROBERT INGMIRE, WHO WAS A PRISONER FROM LONDON. HE WAS AN INDENTURED SERVANT AND TRAVELED TO AMERICA IN 1755 AND SETTLED IN THE BALTIMORE AREA. HE HAD 2 ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN, BOTH SONS AND THEIR NAMES WERE SNOWDEN AND THOMAS. SNOWDEN WAS MARRIED IN 1794 AND THOMAS DID SERVE IN THE WAR OF 1812. THE WHOLE FAMILY EVENTUALLY MOVED TO OHIO OVER THE OVERLAND HIGHWAY. A ROBERT INGMIRE DID LIVE IN VIRGINIA AND HAD 6 DAUGHTERS AND IS LISTED IN THE 1810 CENSUS. THIS COULD BE THE SAME ROBERT OR POSSIBLY ANOTHER SON OF THE PRISONER. I HAVE COPIES OF ALL ORIGINAL RECORDS.

After moving to Ohio; Snowden, Thomas and their respective children owned and worked a number of farms in Hocking and Muskingum Counties. Snowden had six sons, and each had sizable families of their own. When the south fired on the Union your family lined up in droves to come to her defense. These young men; at last count 10-12, fought and bled in a number of engagements with the rebels. They were wounded at Decator, Dallas, Corinth, and Thomas Ingmire at 18 years of age, died from wounds recieved in conflict with the enemy on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, and is memorialized there. In short this family was in on the ground floor of the greatest nation in history.

John Anderton. I keep a livery-stable, the sign of the Yorkshire-crop by Hicks's-Hall ; on Friday morning was se'nnight I got up and went into the stable (which was made fast over-night) there I missed a saddle, two girths, and saddle-cloth, which belonged to Thomas Hunter . Then I went into another stable, and missed a new quilted doe-skin saddle, a green cloth, two green girths, a curcingle, belonging to Edward Bowles . I advertised them on the Saturday, at a guinea reward; on the Monday morning a saddler in Holborn came to me, and said he had bought one of them, as I had described.

William Rawl . I am a saddler, and live in Holborn; last Monday was se'nnight, betwixt seven and eight in the morning, the prisoner at the bar brought a saddle to me to sell.

Q. Had you known him before?

W. Rawl. I had bought two saddles of him before; he asked me a guinea and a half for this; I did not buy it: about four hours after that, he sent for me to a public-house; when I came there, he had that saddle and another. I asked him the price of the other; he said 8 s. I bought it for 7 s. 3 d. and 3 d. spent.

Q. to Anderton. Whose saddle is this? Have you seen it?

J. Anderton. I have; it belongs to Thomas Hunter .

Q. How long had he been absent from his service?

B. Anderton. Ever since last May. We carried him before a justice of the peace; but before he came there, he confessed to me, and two more, that he had this saddle from out of my brother's stable, and also the other that he had there.

Richard Hall. I was present when the prisoner was taken, and also heard him own he parted with the saddle for a trifle of money.

Prisoner's defence.

The saddle that I sold to the sadler, I had by me; it was never in Mr. Anderton's stable, and I had no other saddle.

Note: #N152

Ingmire Hall, Sedbergh, Cumbria, England:

There is a 16th century home in Sedbergh, Cumbria, England, which may be where many of the Ingmire's orginated from. "Ingmire" could be a combined word of "Ing" (Germanic origin referencing the god "Ing") and "Mire" (Middle English origin meaning a stretch of swampy or boggy ground). In the area of Ingmire Hall there are many places named like Ingleton and Ingleby, even an Inglemire, but is further east in Yorkshire, East Riding.
