PREFACE
John Farmer`s original continuous text has been found by many genealogists to be quite cumbersome, not easy to follow with his constant use of abbreviations, and in places almost impossible to interpret. Over the past 18 months I have painstakingly sifted through Farmer`s condensed text, editing, rearranging, and reformating in the hopes of aiding researchers in their quest for family histories.
I cannot guarantee that my interpretations are correct, so like any professional genealogist using resource materials, I would suggest that other sources be used in your search for exactness.
I
RICHARD IBROOK, Hingham 1635. Lincoln, 1643. He had grant in 1647, of an Island in the harbor. He died 14 November 1651. His widow died 4 April 1664, as we learn from the Diary of Reverend Peter Hobart, who married his daughter Rebecca for second wife. A daughter Helen, or Ellen, married March 1638, Joshua Hobart; and another daughter Margaret married February 1639, or 1640, John Tower.
NICHOLAS IDE, Rehoboth 1643. He married I presume, a daughter of Thomas Bliss, for in the will of Bliss he is called son-in-law; and probably he had Mary, Nicholas, Martha, and John. His wife was buried 3 November 1676, and son John, probably youngest child was buried the middle of next month (December 1676). Mary married 17 April 1673, Samuel Fuller; and Martha married 11 November 1681, Samuel Walker.
NICHOLAS IDE, Rehoboth, probably son of the preceding. He married 27 December 1677, Mary Ormsbee, perhaps daughter of Richard Ormsbee, had Nathaniel, born 14 November 1678; Martha, 18 March 1680; and Jacob, 4 July 1681.
RICHARD IGGLEDEN, RICHARD IGLEDEN, or RICHARD EGGLEDEN, Boston, son of Stephen Iggleden. He married 19 July 1660, Ann Prince. His father died on the passage to this land in the Castle, 1638, as by the will of Peter Branch, a passenger in said ship gives her £5, appears. His widow Elizabeth was a proprietor at Roxbury, 1639, and she married 18 April 1642, Joseph Patcham, and bore him two sons. Elizabeth her daughter had married April 1641, Philip Meadows of Roxbury; another daughter "about ten years old," died there 20 October 1646; and Sarah Eggleton, who married 28 August 1650, John Nutting of Woburn, or Ruth Eggleden, who married 13 December 1655, Samuel Blodget of Woburn, as seems to me, can each only be supposed another. Probably the family came from County Kent.
RICHARD ILES, or RICHARD HILLS, who died at Charlestown 29 October 1639, was a cooper, unmarried, probably came from Bristol not long before. Of him on the first page of Vol. I. of Prob. Reg. the will may be studied or in the abstract in Genealogical Registrar II. 102; also with an agreeable conjecture nearly infallible as to part of the relationship referred to in it, Ib. 218, by no less analytic power than that of the late learned librarian of the neighborhood University and at the other end of the same Vol. will be found the official papers of the two parties at Bristol claiming as heirs, of the date 1640.
ELISHA ILSLEY, Newbury, son of William Ilsley. He married 14 March 1668, Hannah Poor, daughter of John Poor, had Elisha, born 21 November 1668; William, 10 November 1672; Sarah, 22 December 1675, who probably died young; Benjamin, 19 March 1680; Hannah, 8 December 1681; Barbara, 26 March 1685; Mary, who died 9 November 1690; and Sarah, again, 8 January 1691. He died eight days after (16 January 1691).
ISAAC ILSLEY, Newbury, brother of the preceding, was a soldier in Appleton's company wounded in the great Narraganset fight, 19 December 1675. He married Abigail Plummer, daughter of Joseph Plummer, had Sarah, born 3 October 1683; William, 25 April 1685; Isaac, 3 July 1689; Lydia, 18 June 1691; Hannah, 26 December 1693; Elizabeth, 25 October 1695; Abigail, 22 August 1698; and Judith, 2 February 1703.
JOHN ILSLEY, Salisbury, barber. He came, I doubt not, in the Confidence from Southampton, April 1638, a shoemaker, with William Ilsley, probably his brother (though the names are printed in Genealogical Registrar Ilsbey), freeman 6 September 1639, in the record spelt Ellsley. He was an original proprietor, and by wife Sarah, who died 3 August 1673, had John, born March 1642, or 1643; Ruth, 6 March 1647, or 1648, died young; and Jonathan, 2 November 1652; and perhaps Hannah. He died 10 December 1683.
JOSEPH ILSLEY, Newbury, son of William Ilsley. He married 1 March 1682, Sarah Little, only daughter of George Little, had Sarah, born 20 January 1683, died soon; Joseph, 14 May 1684; Lydia, 15 June 1687; and Sarah, again, 16 July 1689, He died 15 October 1704, unless the gravestone inscription in Genealogical Registrar XII. 73, be wrong, as it is in the date or years, of course, as contradicted by large amount of time ascertained by records.
WILLIAM ILSLEY, Newbury, was of Newbury, Wiltshire. He came in the Confidence 1638 from Southampton, aged 26, a shoemaker, with wife Barbara, 20, and servant Philip Davis, 12; had John, born 11 September 1641; Mary; Elisha; William, 23 February 1648; Joseph, 30 October 1649; Isaac, 23 June 1652; and Sarah, 8 August 1655. He died 22 July 1681, aged 73, says Coffin. His will of 26 February 1679, mentioned wife Barbara, three sons, daughters Mary, wife of Samuel Moores, and Sarah, who married 21 July 1673, Samuel Hale. William was great grandfather of that Captain Isaac Ilsley, a man of distinction a century since in Maine. Willis, II. 82.
JONATHAN INCE, Hartford, an original proprietor. He removed to Boston before 1640, there died, and his lot at Hartford was granted to John Cullick. He was probably the father of that Jonathan Ince, Harvard College 1650, employed by the government 1652, as a surveyor for the northern boundary of Massachusetts. He designed to settle at New Haven, and married 12 December 1654, Mary Miles, daughter of Richard Miles, and had Jonathan, born 27 June 1656. He sailed in November 1657 in Garrett's ship from Boston for London, with Mayhew, Davis, and Pelham, all considered able schooled of the only College then in this country, of which voyage no tidings were ever received. See the contemporary narrative of Gookin, who sailed on another ship in company. His widow married 22 October 1661, Reverend Thomas Hanford. Perhaps the son lived not long, at least we hear not of him.
JOHN INDICUTT, or JOHN INDICOTT, Boston. By wife Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, born 17 December 1670; Ann, 7 October 1674; Thomas, 21 February 1678; Sarah, 15 March 1680; John, 2 April 1686; and Joseph, 1 November 1687.
JOHN INDICUTT, or JOHN INDICOTT, Boston, a cooper. By wife Mary, had John, born 27 June 1691; and Bayworth, 2 April 1693. He, or the preceding was one of the wardens of King's chapel, 1698. Sometimes this name is written like the Governor's, and sometimes the great man's like this. Whether they were related is unknown.
MATTHIAS INES, MATTHIAS INNES, MATTHIAS IYANS, or MATTHIAS IRONS, or MATTHEW INES, MATTHEW INNES, MATTHEW IYANS, or MATTHEW IRONS, Boston, in employment of William Colbron, when administered of the church 20 April 1634, freeman 25 May 1636, disarmed 1637, as a supporter of Wheelwright, but was not exiled as more important persons were. By wife Ann, had baptized John, 30 September 1638; Elizabeth, 18 April 1641; Thomas, 8 February 1643; Rebecca, 2 March 1645, about 4 days old; Edward, 11 February 1649, about 3 days old; and Samuel, 24 November 1650. Edward probably died young, as he is not named in the will. He had also Ann, born 6, baptized 8 February 1652, died soon; William, who died 1 November 1654; Ann, again, 6 November 1654, died next month; and Catharine, 1 June 1655, besides Matthew, who died 13 May 1656, perhaps very young. Samuel lived at Braintree. Elizabeth married Richard Randall; and Rebecca married Francis Thomas, both mariners. Thomas, in 1666, was of Boston, a tobacco spinner. This name, best written Iyans, I think, is sometimes mistaken for Jones, in the commonly accurate History of Framingham, by Barry. Abstract of his will is in Genealogical Registrar XI. 36.
BENJAMIN INGALL, or BENJAMIN INGALLS, Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He married 4 April 1682, widow Mary Tripp, who died 12 February 1688, but of whom she had been the widow I see not.
EDMUND INGALL, or EDMUND INGALLS, Lynn 1629, if Lewis is correct, was killed 1648 by the breaking of the bridge there, leaving wife Ann and nine children Robert; Elizabeth, Faith, who married Andrew Allen; John; Sarah, who married that year William Bitner; Henry; Samuel; Mary; and Joseph; all perhaps (most, certainly) born in England. It is said he was of Lincolnshire. Elizabeth married Francis Dane; another married John Eaton. His will of 28 August 1648 was probated 11 November 1648.
FRANCIS INGALL, or FRANCIS INGALLS, Lynn, brother of the preceding Lewis says, was there 1629, born about 1601, and had the earliest tannery in Massachusetts.
HENRY INGALL, or HENRY INGALLS, Andover, son of Edmund Ingall, born in England about 1627. He married 6 July 1653, Mary Osgood, daughter of John Osgood, had Moses, who died 28 September 1667; Joseph, died 19 March 1675; Francis, died 9 December 1690; and Henry, a man died 8 February 1699; but of none of these, or of other children do we know the dates of birth. Mary, who married 28 May 1679, Joseph Stevens of Andover, was one, I think. He was freeman 1673. His first wife died 16 December 1686; and he married 1 August 1689, Sarah Abbot, daughter of George Abbot, by whom he had no children, and he died 1719.
JAMES INGALL, or JAMES INGALLS, Andover, probably son of the preceding. He married 16 April 1695, Hannah Abbott, daughter of George Abbott.
JOHN INGALL, or JOHN INGALLS, Ipswich 1648.
JOHN INGALL, or JOHN INGALLS, Lynn, son of Edmund Ingall. He married 26 May 1667, Elizabeth Barrett, had John, born 6 February 1668; and Elizabeth, 10 August 1671, died at 4 years. He was freeman of 1691.

He was freeman 1691. He was buried 3 January 1698. Hannah married 2 May 1673, Henry Stacy.
ROBERT INGALL, or ROBERT INGALLS, Lynn, son of the preceding. He married 20 June 1675, Rebecca Leighton, had Sarah, born 19 September 1677; Robert, 10 July 1679. His wife died February 1680.
SAMUEL INGALL, or SAMUEL INGALLS, Ipswich, son of Edmund Ingall, probably freeman 1681, was Representative 1691 and 1692, before the new charter.

STEPHEN INGALL, or STEPHEN INGALLS, Salem. He married 2 January 1691, Dinah Elson, had Mary, born 6 November following; Dinah, 24 February 1694; Stephen, 16 June 1696; and Ephraim, 10 September 1698.
THOMAS INGALL, or THOMAS INGALLS, Salem, freeman 1671. Three of this name had been graduates at Harvard and five at Yale or Dartmouth College before 1835.
JOHN INGASON, New London. See Ingersoll.
GEORGE INGERSOLL, or GEORGE INKERSALL, Salem, son of Richard Ingersoll, born about 1618, had there grant of land 1639. By wife Elizabeth, had Joseph, born 14 October 1646; Elizabeth, 1 February 1648, died soon; Elizabeth again, 19 March 1651. He removed to Gloucester, where those children were born, was there a selectman 1652, and had Mary, 12 August 1657. He removed to Falmouth, and his other children George and Samuel may have been born there. From 1657 he was at Falmouth, and was the Lieutenant, called by Hutchinson I. 266, following the Colony Record 1668, Ingerfield, driven away at the destruction of the town by the Indians 1676, where one of his sons was killed the former year. Williamson says he was a Representative 1683 and 85, and that must have been to Maine Legislature. He was living at Salem 1694. Willis, I. 64, 210. George Ingersoll, not his son was killed by the Indians 16 July 1690; but he may have been a nephew. Willis refers to a son of first George Ingersoll, killed by the Indians 1676.
GEORGE INGERSOLL, or GEORGE INKERSALL, Falmouth, shipwright, son of the preceding, removed to Charlestown, after the second destruction of Falmouth. There on 10 December 1693 brought his children to unite with the church: Elizabeth, aged 18; Sarah, 16; and Bethia, 14; at least so far as then to be baptized; his daughter Mary having died 14 October 1693. The formality of owning the covenant was sufficient. But on 12 July 1696 he and his wife Catharine more solemnly joined the church, he then aged about 50, was baptized, and their other children George, aged 13; Daniel, 6; Catharine, 4; and Lydia, 1.
JOHN INGERSOLL, or JOHN INKERSALL, Salem, mariner, probably son of Richard Ingersoll, born in England or perhaps, but less likely, on the voyage hither. He married Judith Felton, sister perhaps of Nathaniel Felton, or daughter of the widow Ellen, went with Gloucester people to New London, about 1643, but back in a year or two. By wife Judith Felton had John; Nathaniel, who most happily is blessed with two birthdays on the same page of Essex Institute I. 153, viz. 10 April and 2 December 1647 (the same numerals being employed in both, the day and month interchanged); Ruth; and Richard, 1 September 1651, as on the same page it is said, he was baptized then, whereas the foregoing were; all baptized 10 September 1654; Sarah, 3 June; Samuel, 6 October 1658, baptized perhaps 30 January 1659; Joseph, born 9 December 1661; Hannah, 11 March 1664; both died very soon; Deborah, 1668. He was freeman 1668. He removed to Casco, had there Ephraim; Mary; Rachel; and Abigail; besides a daughter who married --- Brown, and died before her father. Driven by the Indian war from Falmouth, he settled at Kittery. He died 1716, leaving widow Deborah aged 71, and children Elisha; Nathaniel; John; Ephraim; Deborah, who married Benjamin Larrabee; Mary Low; Rachel, wife of John Chapman; and Abigail Blacey. Willis, I. 211. Other children were Joseph and Hannah, but both died quite young. Sarah married 1676, William Ropes.
JOHN INGERSOLL, or JOHN INKERSALL, Hartford 1653, or earlier. He married about 1651, Dorothy Lord, daughter of Thomas Lord, had Hannah, born 1652; and Dorothy, 1654. He removed to Northampton, where his wife died in giving birth to Margery, January 1656. He married second wife 2 December 1656 Abigail Bascom, daughter of Thomas Bascom, had Abigail, 11 January 1659; Sarah, 30 October 1660; Abiah, or Abigail, 24 August 1663; and Esther, 9 September 1665. He removed to Westfield next year. Had Thomas, 28 March 1668, and his wife died that year. By third wife Mary Hunt, sister of Jonathan Hunt, and granddaughter of Governor Webster, had John, 19 October 1669; Abel, 11 November 1671; Ebenezer, 15 October 1673, died young; Joseph, 16 October 1675, who was killed by the Indians in the assault on Deerfield, 29 February 1704; Mary, 17 November 1677, died young; Benjamin, 15 November 1679, died at 7 years; and Jonathan, 10 May 1682. He died 3 September 1684, and his widow died 18 August 1690; but one high authority says, 1 September 1690. Thirteen of the children were living when the estate of their father was devised and ten so late as 1707. Hannah married 15 November 1672, Stephen Kelsey; Dorothy married 2 May 1672, Jacob Phelps, and next married a Root; Margery married 5 December 1679, Jacob Goffe, and next, Jonathan Buck; Abigail married Thomas Rix and next, Joshua Wells; Sarah married---- Barnes; Abiah, or Abigail married Jedediah Strong; and Esther married William Gurley, to whom she bore only Samuel, ancestor of Reverend Samuel Ingersoll, chaplain to Congress; and married next Benoni Jones, who with her son Benjamin was killed by the Indians 13 May 1704 in that part of Northampton called Pascomuck, while she was carried prisoner to Canada, there died next year.
JOHN INGERSOLL, or JOHN INKERSALL, Salem, perhaps son of John Ingersoll the first. He married 17 March 1670, Mary Coombs, probably daughter of Henry Coombs, had Mary, born 10 September 1671; Ruth, 2 February 1674; John, baptized 1 September 1678; besides Sarah, and Elizabeth, both in adult age, baptized 1702, probably 13 March 1702.
JOHN INGERSOLL, or JOHN INKERSALL, Westfield, son of the preceding. He married 1699, Isabel Brown, had Isabel, born 18 March 1701. He died 18 May 1750. His widow lived to 26 January 1772, in her 96th year.
JONATHAN INGERSOLL, or JONATHAN INKERSALL, Milford, youngest brother of the preceding, living at Milford 1698, was a joiner 1714.

JOSEPH INGERSOLL, or JOSEPH INKERSALL, Falmouth, son of George Ingersoll. He married Sarah Coe, daughter of Matthew Coe, had Benjamin and probably other children. He removed in the Indians war to Gloucester, there died 12 March 1718. His son Benjamin went back to Falmouth before his father died.
NATHANIEL INGERSOLL, or NATHANIEL INKERSALL, Salem, son of Richard Ingesoll, not born in England, was an inn holder. He married Hannah Collins, it is said, had only daughter who died before him. He was chosen Deacon 24 November 1689 of that church at the village now Danvers, where the devil had his great triumphs, many of the trials of the witches being held at his house. He was freeman 1690, Lieutenant, and he died early in 1719. From him, through female line, descends the late eminent mathematician Nathaniel Bowditch, translated of La Place, all whose children bear this family name. Young's Chronicles of Massachusetts 178. Nathaniel Ingersoll who perished in shipwreck 1 April 1683, may have been his son.
NATHANIEL INGERSOLL, or NATHANIEL INKERSALL, Salem, son of the first John Ingersoll. He married 8 October 1670, Mary Preston, had Elizabeth, born 11 February 1673; John, 17 October 1674; and Nathaniel.
RICHARD INGERSOLL, or RICHARD INKERSALL, Salem 1629. He came with Higginson, bringing wife and children, was from County Bedford, kept the ferry at north river, and died 1644. His will of 21 July 1644, probated 2 January 1645, mentioned wife Ann, sons George, John, and Nathaniel, the youngest, son-in-law Richard Pettingell, who married his daughter Joanna, and William Haines, who married his daughter Sarah, that had second husband Joseph Houlton, also daughters Alice, wife of Josiah Walcot, and Bathsheba, the youngest, who married John Knight, junior, and before 1652, his father John Knight married her mother Ann, who died 1677. In his inventory a pair of oxen’s is set down as of the value of £14, and his farm of fifty acres £7. His widow died 30 July 1677.
RICHARD INGERSOLL, or RICHARD INKERSALL, Salem, perhaps grandson of the preceding, cast away in a vessel of which he was Captain 1 April 1683 at Cape Cod.
SAMUEL INGERSOLL, or SAMUEL INKERSALL, Falmouth, son of the first George Ingersoll, driven by the Indians hostility went to Charlestown. His wife Judith brought to baptize their children Samuel, Josiah, Jonathan, born 6 April 1693, Rebecca, and Dorcas, all on 10 June 1694; and David, 1 September 1695. He was a shipwright and on 12 July 1696, aged near 50, was baptized. Often this is written on the record Ingerston, or Engerston. Such is the statement to be gained from record but it is evident that another
SAMUEL INGERSOLL, or SAMUEL INKERSALL of Salem, probably son of John Ingersoll, was the younger by about ten years, whose memory of the family are printed in Essex History Collections 1. 12. Of himself he mentioned birth in October 1658, of his wife Sarah (whose surname he omits), 11 December 1665, married 28 April 1684. Had Sarah, born 12 October 1687; Margaret, 8 April 1690; and Susanna, 4 December 1692. He was a Captain and merchant, traded to Newfoundland, Sal Tortugas, and Barbados. He died about 1695, leaving decent estate. His widow married Philip English, as second wife.
THOMAS INGERSOLL, or THOMAS INKERSALL, Westfield, son of John Ingersoll of the same. He married 22 July 1692, Sarah Ashley, daughter of David Ashley, had five children of which four, Thomas, born 27 November 1692; Moses, 10 February 1695; Miriam, 4 June 1697; and David, 30 September 1699, outlived him. He had 21 January 1708, for second wife Abigail Blackman, daughter of Samuel Blackman, widow of Hezekiah Dickinson, mother of famous Jonathan and Moses. He removed to Springfield. His wife died 30 March 1719; and in May 1720 for third wife had Ruth Childs of Watertown; and he died 14 November 1732. Often the name written was Ingerson. Nineteen of this name had been, in 1834, graduates at the New England colleges of whom only three at Harvard.
JOHN INGHAM, or JOSEPH INGHAM, Saybrook. He married 20 June 1655, Sarah Bushnell, perhaps daughter of John Bushnell, had Joseph, born 30 August 1656; and Sarah, 11 June 1658. He was freeman 1669; and often the name begins with H.
JOSEPH INGHAM, New London, probably son of the preceding. By wife Mary, had Benoni, born 10 June 1686.
SAMUEL INGHAM, Saybrook, perhaps son of the preceding. He married 3 November 1686, Rebecca Williams, had Samuel, born 14 March 1688, died next month; Rebecca, 13 December 1689; Sarah, 14 December 1692; Joseph, 19 June 1696, died in 10 days; Samuel, 28 July 1697; Hannah, 29 February 1700; Thomas, 24 September 1702; Abigail, 17 September 1705; and Daniel, 4 May 1710.
THOMAS INGHAM, Scituate 1640, a weaver. He had Mary, born 1647; Thomas, 1654; Sarah, 21 January 1658, perhaps, though Colony Record has 1647; and John, 1663. In March 1676 his wife Mary was accused of witchcraft, and he was suspected, but the jury acquitted the wife and no more nonsense of that sort was brought forward in the old Colony of Plymouth. The great success of the devil in destroying women because they were old, was in the chief Colony of Massachusetts. Perhaps they came from Norfolk, England. In a very curious, modern book, about the charitable Institute of the City of Norwich, I find the desire of Thomas Ingham the younger, citizen and merchant of Norfolk 1451, to be buried on one side of a particular church where his father chooses his sepulture and in another church of the same city, Sir Oliver Ingham, knight, who died 1292 was buried. No doubt the name, like so many others is derived from the place where first the family resided. Ingham is a parish on east coast of Norfolk, in the hundreds of Happing.
MAUDITT INGLES, or MAUDITT INGLISH, or MAUDETT INGLES, or MAUDETT INGLISH, Boston, a fuller of Marlborough, Wiltshire. He came in the James 1635, from Southampton, had Hannah, born 2 March 1639, baptized 6 September 1640, he having been recorded into the church the day preceding; Mary, 17 November 1644, about 4 days old; and Samuel, 7 March 1647, about 9 days old. Hannah married 2 July 1654, Samuel Clement, son of Augustine Clement, who was fellow-passenger with her father; and she died 9 April 1658.
WILLIAM INGLISH, Boston 1652, a cordwainer. He had wife Mary, and died 1682. His will, in which no children is referred to, was made in May 1682, probated next month of that year.
JOHN INGOLDSBY, Boston 1641, spelled without d in record of his administration of the church 6 November, then a single man, and was freeman 18 May 1642. By wife Ruth, had John, who died 3 August 1649; another John, born 10 July 1653, died soon; another John 2 October 1655, died in few weeks; Ebenezer, 13 December 1656; and Peter, 8 March 1659.
EDWARD INGRAM, or EDWARD INGRAHAM, Salem. He came in the Blessing from London 1635, aged 18, had grant of land 1638.
HENRY INGRAM, or HENRY INGRAHAM, Boston. By wife Lydia, had Deliverance, born 5 October 1672;and Henry, 1 November 1673. He probably removed.
JARED INGRAM, or JARED INGRAHAM, Boston. He married 28 May 1662, Rebecca Searle, daughter of Edward Searle, or Edward Seale, had Margaret, born 17 January 1663. He removed to Swanzey, I suppose, and there had Hannah, 29 December 1673. His daughter Mary was buried 25 May 1673; and by the same wife had Jeremiah, born 12 July 1683. Probably it was his daughter Margaret, who married 4 April 1684, David Freeman of Rehoboth.
JOHN INGRAM, or JOHN INGRAHAM, Hadley. He married 1664, Elizabeth Gardner, had, besides four children who died young, or unmarried at least, John, born 29 June 1666; Samuel, 1670; Nathaniel, 1674, who had nine children; and Jonathan, 1676, who was killed 29 February 1704 in the assault on Deerfield by the French and Indians. He was freeman 1683, and died 1722, aged more than 80 years, over 60 of which he had lived at Hadley.
JOHN INGRAM, or JOHN INGRAHAM, Hadley, son of the preceding. He married 26 June 1689, Mehitable Dickinson, youngest daughter of the first John Dickinson of the same, had Elizabeth, born 15 March 1691; John, 9 January 1693; Ebenezer, 10 December 1694, died next year; Hannah, 19 October 1697; Mehitable, 13 September 1698; Ebenezer, again, 10 November 1700, died young; Mary, 10 July 1702; Rebecca, 5 November 1704; Jonathan, 15 December 1708, died next month; Experience, 17 April 1714, died soon; and Elisha, 7 September 1717.
RICHARD INGRAM, or RICHARD INGRAHAM, Rehoboth 1645. He removed to Northampton, there married 1668, Joan Rockwell, daughter of William Rockwell, widow of Jeffrey Baker of Windsor. He died August 1683, and his wife, by whom he had no children, died 16 September 1683.
SAMUEL INGRAM, or SAMUEL INGRAHAM, Haddam, son probably of John Ingram. He married Sarah Shaler, widow of William Lord, daughter of Thomas Shaler.
WILLIAM INGRAM, or WILLIAM INGRAHAM, Boston 1653, cooper. He married 14 May 1656, Mary Barstow, perhaps daughter of William Barstow of Dedham, yet quite young, had William, born 9 February 1657, died soon; William, again, 27 January 1658; Timothy, 2 July 1660; Jeremiah, 20 January 1664; Mary, 26 June 1666; and Elizabeth, 1 February 1669.
WILLIAM INGRAM, or WILLIAM INGRAHAM, Boston. By wife Elizabeth, had Rebecca, born 26 September 1653; Edward, 15 June 1657; and Hannah, 15 June 1659. He, or the preceding, was freeman 1674.
SAMUEL INGS, or as given in Genealogical Registrar II. 253, SAMUEL INGGS, Hingham. He married February 1673, Mary Beal.
EDWARD INMAN, Providence 1646, a glover, in the list of freeman 1655, took oath of allegiance to the King, May 1666, and is mentioned 1677. Knowles 410; Staples. By wife Barbara, he had John, Edward, and perhaps other children. He was dead before 17 August 1706.
EDWARD INMAN, Providence called junior when he swore allegiance in May 1682, probably was son of the preceding.
JOHN INMAN, Providence, brother probably of the preceding, was published 20 January 1669, to be married to Sarah Herenden. A Joanna Inman was, perhaps, daughter of the first Edward Inman, and married July 1666, Nathaniel Morey.
JOHN IRELAND, Charlestown 1681. He married 15 July 1680, Grace Healy. He removed probably to Boston, but at Charlestown had Margaret, born 15 August 1681; John, 5 July 1683; and Abiel, a daughter baptized 22 February 1685.
PHILIP IRELAND, Ipswich. He had wife Grace, says Farmer, who died 13 May 1692.
SAMUEL IRELAND, Wethersfield, a carpenter. He came to Boston in the Increase, from London, 1635, aged 32, with wife Mary, 30, and daughter Martha, 1 1/2; had more children here, and he died 1639. His widow married 1645, Robert Burrows, and she died 1672.
WILLIAM IRELAND, the freeman of 1650, was, perhaps, of Dorchester, then, but certainly of Boston, living at Rumney Marsh, now Chelsea, 1654, and constable 1656.
BENJAMIN IRESON, or BENONI IRESON, Lynn, son of Edward Ireson. He married 1 August 1680, Mary Leach, had Edward, born April 1681, died in few days. But descendants of other children still continued says Lewis, who calls the name of father Edmund Ireson; but I followed Felt in Genealogical Registrar V. 253.
EDWARD IRESON, Lynn. He came in the Abigail 1635, aged 32, with Elizabeth, probably his wife 27, had Hannah, born 10 February 1639; Ruth, 12 January 1641; yet perhaps Felt saw the error of record when Samuel is put in September 1641; Eleazer, 1 September 1642; Benoni, or possibly Benjamin, September 1645; and Elizabeth, December 1648, probably by second wife Rebecca, May 1657. He died December 1675, aged 73. Lewis. His will of 26 October 1674, probated by his widow 27 June 1676, mentioned only Samuel and Ruth.
RICHARD IRESON, Lynn, 1643. Chief Justice Sewall, who fondly marked cases of longevity in his diary notes death on 3 February 1692 of a Captain Ireson, between 86 and 90 years old.
THOMAS IRESON, a passenger in the Hopewell, Captain Babb, in the autumn 1635, aged 25, unless the slovenly writing of that day at the London custom house may rather seem Johnson.
ELIAS IRISH, Taunton, son of the first John Irish. He married 26 August 1674, Dorothy Witherell, daughter of William Witherell of the same. He died in few years. His widow married 1 April 1686, William Wood.
JOHN IRISH, Duxbury 1637. By wife Elizabeth, had John, and Elias. He removed to Bridgewater, perhaps, at least was, if Winsor be correct, a proprietor there, though not original. He went to Little Compton, and he died 1677. His widow died 28 August 1687. This, in my confident conjecture is the true name, printed in Genealogical Registrar IX. 80,
FRISH IRISH, for one of the party at Kennebeck under John Howland, in 1634, sent to cut the cable of an interloper, Hocking, which caused the death of one of each side, and is by Bradford and Winthrop the
Governor of the two Colonies of Massachusetts and Plymouth much dilated on and greatly regrettable. JOHN IRISH, Middleborough, son of the preceding. Probably by wife Elizabeth, who died 8 March 1707, had David; Elizabeth, born February 1674; Jonathan, June 1678; Joanna, 6 June 1681; Sarah, January 1684; Priscilla, 30 April 1686; Jedediah, 7 October 1688; Content, September 1691; Mary, 9 April 1695; and John, 1 May 1699. He is the youth, named as his servant in the will of Captain Standish, March 1655, and probably lived at Duxbury, before going to Middleborough, 1671. But passed his later years at Little Compton, where in May 1708, he married a sister of Captain Church, called Deborah by one, Priscilla, by another, but it is not clear that Church had a sister Priscilla.

JOSEPH ISAAC, or JOSEPH ISAACS, Cambridge 1636, freeman 9 March 1637, and Representative 1638. He died 11 May 1642. Elizabeth, probably his widow, married 12 July 1643, Nicholas Davis. A passenger in the Elizabeth from Ipswich 1634, aged 36, named Rebecca Isaac, may have been his sister but then we must infer, that he was in the country earlier by two years at least, than we know of. A family of this name is at Norwalk, honorary in several generations as graduates at Yale, but it is believed that their pedigree on this side of the ocean must not be found before the 18th century.
THOMAS ISAAC, or THOMAS ISAACS, a merchant at Boston, but perhaps only transferred in 1662.
ELEAZER ISBELL, New London, son of Robert Isbell, freeman of Connecticut 1669. He married 1 November 1668, Elizabeth French. He died 2 September 1677, leaving only one son and one daughter to care of their grandmother. He went as one of the first settlers to Killingworth, (so by perversion made from Kenilworth, the town in County Warwick, England whose name was used for this in Connecticut because one or more of the earliest inhabitants were born there.) Field, 106. At Kenilworth he had Elizabeth, 6 September 1669; Robert, 21 September 1671, died soon; Hannah, 15 March 1674; and Robert, again, 20 January 1676.
THOMAS ISLIN, Sudbury, freeman 13 May 1640. He died 21 February 1664.
JOHN ISSAM, Barnstable. He married 16 December 1677, Jane Parker, had Jane, born 7 October 1679; John, 25 August 1681; Isaac, February 1683; Sarah, December 1684; Mary, June 1687; Hannah; Patience; Joseph; and Thankful. He died 3 September 1717. This name may have been changed to Isham.
JOHN IVES, New Haven 1669. He married 12 November 1668, Hannah Merriman, daughter of Nathaniel Merriman, had John, born 14 November 1669. He removed to Wallingford, and died 1682, leaving four other children. His widow married the second Joseph Benham.
JOSEPH IVES, New Haven, a proprietor 1685. He married 2 January 1673, Mary Yale, daughter of Thomas Yale, had Joseph, born 17 October 1673; Mary, 18 October 1674, died soon; Mary, again, 17 March 1676; Samuel, 6 November 1677; Matthew, 5 March 1679; Lazarus, 19 February 1681; Thomas, 22 August 1683; Abigail, 17 August 1685, died soon; John, 18 January 1687, died soon; as did another child 1690; and Ebenezer, 6 April 1692. Only six children outlived him. He died 4 November 1694. His widow died 1710.
MATTHIAS IVES, probably mistaken for Iyans, but may have lived at Watertown.
MILES IVES, or MICHAEL IVES, Watertown 1639. By wife Martha, had Sarah, born 11 October 1639; Mary, 10 July 1641; and Hannah, 9 May 1643. He sold his estate and on 1641 removed to Boston, there he died 26 August 1684, aged 86. We may believe that he brought elder child from England for his will of 20 December 1683, probated 7 October 1684 names son-in-law John Polley, whose wife Susanna must have been born before either of those named as must also the mother of his grandchild Healy who is also mentioned. Other son-in-laws was Lewis Allen. Hannah married 8 January 1668, James Hubbard, as his second wife. Yet Healy, the grandchild, is named by him Nathaniel, and his mother was Grace, daughter of Nicholas Buttry, third wife of William, whose first was Grace, also, 1). in England, and to me it seems probable that she was daughter of Miles Ives.
THOMAS IVES, Salem 1668. He married 1 April 1672, Martha Wyeth, daughter of Nicholas Wyeth, had Elizabeth, born 8 February 1673, who died next year; Thomas, 31 March 1674; and Deborah, 8 December 1675.
WILLIAM IVES, New Haven, united in the civil compact, 4 June 1639, but had probably come to Boston 1635, aged 28, in the Truelove from London. He had Phebe, baptized 2 October 1642; and John, 29 December 1644. He died 1648, but his will in April 1648 names no children, makes John Ives his executor who as well as Joseph, may have been brother or son. His widow married 1648, William Bassettler. This surname is made Joes by Mr. Drake, in Genealogical Registrar XIV. 324, as by me it had been in 3 Massachusetts History Collections VIII. 273; but my diligent London correspondent had corrected the name to Ives, as in 3 Massachusetts Harvard College X. 130, on which Drake says, he cannot torture it into Ives, though to me it seems a better name than Joes. Let the New Haven readers decide. Always in old prose or writings the first two letters of this name are subject to the variable interchanging. I for J, and J for I, U for V, and V for U. Eleven of this name had, in 1828, been graduates at Yale.
JAMES IVEY, Braintree. He died 3 March 1654, probably without wife or children, for his will gives £5 to the ministers Thompson and Flint, and residual of his estate to John, son of his brother John Ivey.
JOHN IVEY, Newbury, perhaps brother of the preceding. He had John, born November 1643.
JOHN IVEY, Boston, son perhaps of the preceding. He married 25 December 1668, Mercy Bartlett, daughter of Robert Bartlett of Plymouth.
THOMAS IVORY, Lynn 1638. By wife Ann, had Thomas; Lois, who married 10 May 1656, John Burrill, and was mother of Speaker Burrill, the beloved; Ruth, who married Theophilus Bailey; and Sarah, who married February 1661, Moses Chadwell. He died 1664. His widow married William Croft.
THOMAS IVORY, Lynn, son of the preceding. He married May 1660, Mary Davis, had Lois, born 7 February 1661; Tabitha, 30 April 1663; Thomas, 2 August 1665, freeman 1691; Hannah, 22 December 1667; John, 10 October 1669; Theophilus, 1 November 1670; and William, 10 June 1674. He died 18 April 1690 as Felt read the record but Lewis says, July 1690. Lois married 19 December 1678, Samuel Bly; and next married 20 September 1694, Ezekiel Rogers; and next, 1708 married Joseph Bass; Tabitha married 31 January 1684, Robert Rand.
WILLIAM IVORY, Lynn, perhaps brother of first Thomas Ivory. He came in the Truelove 1635, aged 28, from London, a carpenter. He died at Boston 3 October 1652.
