• Notes

  Will written 17 January 1799; and recorded in August 1801; hence the range in which Samuel appears to have died. Early Adventurers On The Western Water, Vol. II (1745-1800) by Mary B. Kegley Page 305;  Samuel Ingram, Sr. first appeared on the waters of the New River in 1767 when he settled on a tract of 300 acres of land on Bullock Pen Branch near the present town of Newbern.  In 1769 he purchased the John Miller-John Strupw tract of land on Peak Creek, and in addition had a tract of 209 acres on Sinking Spring "by ye Great road" surveyed by William Preston for the Loyal Company.  This tract was held jointly with Adam Waggoner.  Two days later, on March 18, 1769. a survey was made for Ingram alone for a tract of 210 acres on Peak Creek, adjoining James Walker.  The grant for 300 acres was received in 1785.  Beginning with this 300 acres Ingram built up his plantation by adding three additional tract, finalizing the total in an inclusive survey of 634 acres in the year 1796.  The grant was received the next year (Botetourt County Deed Book 1, page 16; Commissioner's Certificates. Page 34; Montgomery County Survey Book E, p.228; Preston Family Papers, Library of Congress, 581; Land Grant Books O, p. 182; 36, p.414). In 1770 Samuel Ingram was granted permission to build his mill and a jury was appointed to adjudge damages and report.  His mill was one of the earliset in the area.  In 1771 Ingram acted as a surveyor of a road from Ingles' to Peak Creek, and in 1776 was overseer of the road from Sinking Spring to Peak Creek. In 1774 the Montgomery County Court ordered that it be certified to the Governor of Virginia that Samuel Ingram had produced 1,600 pounds of "neat winter rotted hemp" .
