• Notes

  Lets start with parentage for Richard; or better; eliminating who is not his father: Hugh Ingram - born abt 1530 and father of Sir Art 1 Arthur Ingram (Sir Art 1) - b1565-1570 & married Susan Brown in 1596, and father of Sir Art 2. Arthur Ingram (Sir Art 2) - b1597 & married Eleanor Slingby about 1620. John Ingram - born about 1565-1570, also son of Hugh and brother to Sir Art 1 A lot of info throughout the genealogical websites and also very early historical documents state that immigrant Richard Ingram of Rehoboth, Massachuestts was the son of Sir Arthur Ingram and mother Eleanor Slingsby.  This Sir Arthur Ingram (Sir Art 2) was actually born in 1597 and did not marry Eleonor Slingsby until about 1620.  Myths or inaccuracies: 1 - Sir Arthur Ingram (Sir Art 2) who married Eleanor Slingsby could not have been the father of Richard Ingram who immigrated to Rehoboth, and was born circa 1595-1605. This Sir Arthur Ingram was not born until 1597, and was the Son of Sir Arthur Ingram and Susan Brown. 2 - Sir Arthur Ingram (Sir Art 1) who married Susan Brown in 1596 is a possible parentage for Richard Ingram, the immigrant to Rehoboth, Massachusetts in 1630.  A John Ingram is listed as a son of this Sir Art 1; but also listed as died in 1635. Other Ingram researchers have delved into this and have not yet found a link. 3 - John Ingram (brother of  Sir Art 1) is also possible parentage for Richard Ingram, the immigrant to Rehoboth, Massachusetts in 1630.  A record of Richard Ingram being christened/baptized on 18 March 1600 in Fishtoft, Lincolnshire, England listed a John Ingram as his father. This needs to be checked; so is also a possibility (I have placed Richard Ingram with this family only as a probability). 4 - False assumption in believing differences in spelling of last name Ingram, Ingraham, Ingeram have a bearing on lineage.  While DNA testing has found two distinct Ingram groups in England; the ancient name is more commonly spelled Ingram. In particular; most actual records for Sir Arthur Ingram listed his name as Ingram vice Ingraham.  It was not uncommon for mis-spelling due to the lack of writing and spelling skills of those scribes/clerks responsible to do so.
