THOMAS
INGRAM was born in Wayne County, Ohio, Nov. 17, 1833, the fifth
child of twelve in the family of his parents, Thomas and Elizabeth
(Lees) Ingram. His father was a carpenter by trade, and came
to Williams County and entered land in 1840, moving his family here the
year following, and encountering all the privations incident to pioneer
life. At that time the country was an unbroken wilderness, and the
howling of wolves was no unusual sound. They built a cabin for a
home, and here the father died June 218, 1852./ Mr. Ingram
has since resided on this farm, consisting of 141 acres, and by his
efforts has acquired all the comforts and conveniences of modern life,
with good buildings, conducive to the happiness of his family.
Mr. Ingram was married Nov. 26, 1857, to Miss Magdalena Allman
of Williams County, and a family of nine children have blessed their
union, viz., Ellwood, Margaret, John, Carrie, James, Susan, William,
Bessie L. and Ellen. Mr. Ingram was a soldier in the
war of the rebellion; he enlisted February, 1865, and remained in the
service until the close.
