Ingram Family
Written by Yvonne Sheryl Ingram Wills
“The North
Mississippi County of Marshall which was established in 1836 has been
inhabited by Ingrams' since the 1840s. It appears that the Ingrams who
settled in Marshall County came from Johnson County in North Carolina.
The present land holding of Ingrams...in Marshall County was owned in 1852
by Needham Ingram, in 1864 by his sons, Joseph R. Ingram and John J. Ingram,
in 1899 by Joseph's wife Helen E. Ingram and her son J.H. Ingram. In 1900
the ownership of the land was transferred to Ben E. Ingram. Though the exact
relationship between Ben Ingram and the former Ingram is not known,
obviously there must be some connection.
It has been said that Heggar Ingram was the mother of Ben, Priscilla, Ranson,
Willie and Marshall Ingram. Four family units developed from this obscure
Ingram parentage: 1. Ben and Sallie Ingram, 2. Priscilla Ingram and Calvin
Tyson, 3. Ranson Ingram and Elizabeth Tunstall, 4. Willie Ingram and Simpson
Rogers...Many families of Ingram descent have generated in the 20th century.
The Ingram families have ventured from Northern Mississippi to fifteen other
states in the United States, Germany and Korea."
