John INGRAM ¹

  General Notes:

It is conjecture that John and Isaack are brothers to Abell Ingram. John names Abell's daughter in his will as he is going about listing his nieces. However, he doesn't specify if Abell is another of this brothers as well as several other non-relationship given persons below. John did not apparently have children or a wife at the writing of his will, but seemed to have a fairly sizable estate.
Here is a partial transcription of John's will as provided by Lauren Varga of NJ: "In the name of God Amen July 15, 1658, I John Ingram in the parish of Pagham, County of Sussex, ... I doe make and ordaine this my last will and testament in manner and forme following: Impris. I give and leave unto Ann Ingram ye daughter of Isaack Ingram my brother deceased..
