John Ingersoll - John ingersoll's birthplace and dates

Some is circumstantial, however the names of Simon and the places of others involved in the John Ingersoll family share a connection with Saint Mary, Aylesbury, Buckingham, England.

Here are the research notes that I have:

John Ingersoll married Jane (Ireland) Whitehead not Skidmore.

Important New Daniel^1 Whitehead Article

Dear NY LongIsland-Listers,

Descendants of colonial Long Island Whiteheads and students of Long Island history and genealogy in general will want to be certain to read the article in the October 2000 issue of the New York Genealogical & Biographical Record entitled "The Family of Daniel Whitehead: A Century and a Half of Fact and Fiction," by Harry Macy, Jr., FGBS, FASG.

This article not only builds upon the recently rediscovered Daniel^1 will and previously misapprehended primary evidences, neatly brought together and re-examined to establish that there were two spouses and children by each, but offers as well significant insights on when and how some of the biggest names in Long Island and New England genealogy were led astray in their respective analyses of the family.

An excerpt:

"Rev. John Cornell's Genealogy of the Cornell Family...presented Daniel^1 with quite a different family structure than that given by Curtis. Cornell correctly named Daniel^1 as the father of both the children listed by Riker and those in Adam's estate settlement. However, he also made 'Jeanne Skidmore' the mother of all these children.... .
...Other early 20th century genealogists did notice that there was a problem with Cornell's version of the family.Like Curtis, they concluded that Jane and her children were a separate Whitehead family, and they looked for a Whitehead other than Daniel^1 who could have been her husband."

This is followed by a discussion of versions proposed by Jacobus, Colket, Wardell and Seversmith, each laboring without the benefit of the lost will but apparently overlooking resources that might have better directed their decisions. Also included is the 1985-published decision by Warren Skidmore that Whitehead had not married a daughter of Thomas Skidmore--now proven and underscored by Mr. Macy's research.

That is, from among these 12 pages of astute and well-documented Macy analysis, we learn that Jeanne Skidmore was not a wife of Daniel^1 Whitehead. Rather his widow, and the mother of his four youngest children, was Jane Ireland, daughter of Thomas^1 Ireland, and subsequently the wife of John Ingersoll.

Jane (Ireland) married Daniel Whitehead first.
Adam is one of the children from that Union. Please note the use of Father-in-law as John Inckison (Ingersoll) 's relation to him. The term Step-father was not used then, it was father-in-law.

PART III
JOHN INGERSOLL
OF HUNTINGTON, LONG ISLAND

FIRST GENERATION
1. In 1652 the Puritan Colony which had been established at Sandwich, Massachusetts, detached eleven families from their number and dispatched them through the Connecticut Valley to Huntington, Long Island, under the leadership of the pastor, Rev. William Liverich. Among these colonists were John Skidmore and Daniel Whitehead, who were grantees and proprietors of the town of Huntington, Long Island, destined to be and afterwards included in the State of Connecticut.

In the family of John Skidmore there was a daughter Jane who subsequently married Daniel Whitehead, probably the son of the original founder and not the founder himself. About the same time John Ingersoll, then about thirteen years of age, b. 1640, first appeared in Huntington history (Mead), and in 1673 he married Jane Skidmore Whitehead, the widow of Daniel Whitehead. (Page 309, Huntington Town Records.)

John of Huntington is mentioned frequently in The Huntington Town Records; mentioned as owning the Meadow Farms; mentioned as having been warned by the committeemen for violation of the Innkeeper's law, which at that time prohibited anyone but an innkeeper from entertaining guests. In this instance John Ingersoll entertained a man, wife, and two children.

By various grants from 1680 to 1689 the bounds of John Ingersoll's land are as follows: Front 85 rods line runs N.N.E. and W.S.W. South side 100 rods, rear (probably E. side) 62 rods, line running S. and E. and N. by W. North side by Sound, West by Samuel Kecham, south by highway, also land on the south to the great creek.

In 1690 he sold the house and five acres he had bought in 1681 to Benjamin Joens. The next year, 1692, he purchased of Jonas Valentine houses, barn and farm at the lowest part of Crabmeadow; his previous holdings consisted of upland and meadow in the same locality.

The will of John Ingersoll of Huntington, dated 1694 (he died in 1695), bequeaths to his children John, Simon, Daniel, and Jane, some six hundred pounds in money and large land holdings in the township of Huntington; he also bequeaths the home and home farm to his wife Jane. (Early Long Island Wills--Pelletreau.)

July 29, 1695, Jeane Ingerson, widow, and John Ingerson, son, deed Thomas Whitehead, house, barn, orchard, and eight acres of land bounded on the south by "Simond Ingerson's land." (Huntington Town Records, Vol. II, p. 178.) In 1700 Simon buys back the property. Thomas Whitehead's wife Mary writes, "house and land formerly in the tenor of John Inkersole, Sr." As Simon Ingersoll died the next year his holding of the homestead was not of long duration.

Page 341/Page 342

According to the will of John Ingersoll and the Town Records of Huntington, his children were as follows:

2 i "John Ingersole, son of John Ingersole of Huntington on LI was borne ye eleventh of May 1674.
ii "Jane Ingersole, ye daughter of Jno. Ingersole, was borne ye 9th of June, 1676.
iii "Simon Ingersole, ye son of John Ingersole, was borne ye 3d of August, 1678.
3 iv "Daniel Ingersole, ye son of John Ingersole, was borne ye 13th of September, 1680.
"by me John Corey, Clerke,
"Court Records, p. 191."
