Biography

Edmund Ingalls is Notable.

As "Edward" in parish records at St. Leodegar's, Wyberton, Linconshire, and as "Edmund" in the Bishop's Transcripts for the same parish, he was baptised on 26 June 1586, the son of Robert Ingolls and Elizabeth his wife.^[1] He was the grandson of Henry Ingalls. The family subsequently moved to Skirbeck, Lincolnshire. Earlier research suggested he was born in Skirbeck.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}

He may have come to Salem, Massachusetts, in 1628 with his brother Francis,^[2] and with Francis was among the first white men to settle in Lynn, Massachusetts,^[3] although baptism records in Lincolnshire for his children suggest that he may have followed Francis after 1634.^{[6] [1]} Either way, it is certain that he was at Lynn on June 20, 1646, when he was fined for carrying wood on the Sabbath.^{[2] [3] [6]}

On June 7, 1618, he married Annis Telbe.^[6] His wife Anne's surname unknown^{[3] [2] [7] [8]} until 1972, when evidence was found in Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, at Church of St. Nicholas. Telbe may refer to the name of a nearby village (Telby), however, a search of the records for that period revealed no clues about her origin.^[6]

Their children included:

1. Elizabeth^[3] baptized February 28, 1618,^[6] who married Rev. Francis Dane of Andover, and who died June 9, 1676^{[2] [7]}
2. Robert^[3] baptized July 13, 1620,^[6], who married Sarah Harker^{[2] [7]}
3. Faith^[3] baptized July 14, 1622^[6], who married Andrew Allen ^{[2] [7]}
4. John^[3] baptized May 9, 1624,^[6] who married Elizabeth Barrett^{[2] [7]}
5. Sarah^[3] baptized July 16, 1626,^[6] who married William Bitner^{[2] [7]}
6. Samuel^[3] baptized 20 January 1627/8^[6], who died young
7. Henry born in 1629/30^[6], who lived in Andover^[3], and married Mary Osgood and Sarah Farnham^{[2] [7]}
8. Samuel^[3], baptized 22 April 1632^[6], who married Ruth Eaton^{[2] [7]}
9. Mary^[3] baptized 22 February 1634 in Sutterton, Lincolnshire,^[1] who married John Eaton^{[2] [7]}
10. Joseph^[3] who died young^[2]

His name was recorded with Francis Ingalls as Edward in a copy of the land distribution in Lynn in 1638.^[9]

In March 1648, while traveling to Boston on horseback, he drowned in the Saugus River, owing to a defective bridge. His heirs recovered damages from the town.^{[2] [3]} According to the TAG article, he was injured while crossing the bridge and lingered for some time before writing his will in August and dying sometime before 14 September, when his will was probated.

His will was dated August 28, 1648, and transcribed in various sources.^{[2] [7]} The date suggests a problem with the date of his death, which occurred in March, several months prior to the date on the will. The will was accepted, however, and proved September 14, 1648, by Francis Ingalls, and April 27, 1649, by William Morton.^[7]. The administration documents are found in Essex County Quarterly Court Files Volume 1, leaf 104 ^{[10] [11]}

After his death on March 6, 1649, his wife sued William Flint and Anthony Needham for taking her hay. No further record for Ann Ingalls has yet been found.^[6]

Research Notes

The Great Migration Directory for Edmund is under "Edward Ingalls"

The christening record with the date 26 June 1586 calls him "Edmunde Ingolde."^[14] The baptism record calls him "Edward Ingall" and gives the date as 21 May 1586 (possibly his birth date?).^[15] Both records name his father as Robert and his mother as Elizabeth, and both identify the place as Wyberton, Lincolnshire, England.
