About Benjamin Ingersoll

Ensign Benjamin, during the Indian troubles resided in Gloucester, and while there married Mary Hunt. He returned to Falmouth in 1726, on the resettlement of the place, and took possession of his father's grant. He later removed to North Yarmouth where he was an innkeeper and prominent citizen.

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.
