| Notes |
- John is not yet proven to be the son of William Ingram of Penkridge, but placed here as
a high probability to be related.
Johannes is the Latin form of the personal name that usually appears as "John" in English language contexts. We find this name as both John and Johannes in various Penkridge, England records.
John "Johannes" Ingram and Elizabeth "Elizabetha" Preston were documented in Penkridge parish, Staffordshire County, England records to have been married on 17 May 1580.
John Ingram of Wolgarstone and Elizabeth Preston have been found to be the the parents of, Alice, Mary, Sampson, Edward and William Ingram.
John Ingram (and son Sampson) took the Oath of Allegiance in Wolgarston in 1612; not to be confused
with another John Ingram who took the same Oath of Allegiance in Penkridge in 1612.
Alice and William are linked to John Ingram by there respective marriage records; in which they specifically are mentioned as the children of John Ingram of Wolgaston "Wolgarstone".
Mary is linked directly in her Penkridge Parish baptism record, listed as the daughter of John Ingram.
Sampson and Edward are proven as follows:
The evidence is through the 1650 will of Edward Ingram in which he named his brother Sampson Ingram and his cousin John Grately. John Grately was the son of William Grately and Alice Ingram. Alice Ingram was mentioned as the daughter of John Ingram of Wolgarstone in the Penkridge marriage record of 12 November 1605.
In older genealogy, a cousin is more often described for a nephew or niece. A nephew is defined as the child of one's brother or sister or the child of the brother or sister of one's spouse. John Grately was the son of William Grately who was married to Alice Ingram who was the daughter of John Ingram.
John Ingram and family appear to have lived in Wolgaston "Wolgarstone"; although son Sampson ended up moving to Shropshire toward the end of his life.
The Domesday Book lists this place as Turgarestone, but no other records support this
to be correct and it likely a scribal error. The personal name Wulfgar is very likely the first element of the name and the second is tun 'farmstead', so we can take the meaning to be 'Wulfgar's farmstead'.
- (Research):Penkridge "Penkridge, a small but ancient town, nearly in the centre of the Cuttlestone Hundred,
has a station on the London and NorthWesternRailway, and is pleasantly situated six miles S of Stafford,and tenmiles N of Wolverhampton. It gives name to a large union, apolling district, and
a rural deanery, and derives its name from the River Penk, which passes it on the west, as the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal does on the east. Bull Bridge, which here crosses the Penk by several small arches, was erected about 25 years ago, and about half a mile higher up the river is the ancient Cuttlestone Bridge, which gives name to this Hundred. Penkridge is undoubtedly a place of great antiquity. The town consists of several short streets and a spacious market place, but the market which was held every Tuesday, has been obsolete for years. Penkridge parish is very extensive, comprising about 16000 acres, but only 3129 inhabitants, residing in its four townships of Penkridge, Coppenhall, Dunston and Stretton. The three latter are also chapelries to Penkridge parish and there
is a new church at Gailey. Penkridge township comprises more than 12000 acres and is divided into
four constablewicks; Penkridge Quarter; Levedale Quarter, which includes the hamlets of Drayton, Longridge & Preston; Pillaton Quarter,which comprises Line Hill, Otherton, Rodbaston, Water-Eaton,
Gailey&Wolgarstone; and Whiston Quarter, which comprises Bickford, Congreve & Mitton. Bickford
is a hamlet and liberty, two and a half miles W of Penkridge, belonging to TW Gifford, Esq. Congreve is a small village and estate, of 400 acres, one and a quarter miles SW of Penkridge, celebrated as the birthplace of the late Bishop Hurd. Richard Congreve, Esq, and Lord Hatherton are proprietors of this liberty, and the former is lord of the manor. The Congreves were seated here at an early period, and afterwards at Stretton. Of this ancient family was the poet Congreve and the late Sir William Congreve,
created a baronet in 1812. Drayton is a hamlet and manor, of 700 acres, one mile N of Penkridge,
belonging to Lord Hatherton. Gailey, or Gayley, is a hamlet and manor, three miles SSE of Penkridge, mostly the property of Lord Hatherton.

Longridge is a hamlet one and a half miles NW of Penkridge. Mitton is a liberty of 600 acres, with 3 farmhouses and 2 cottages,twoand a half miles W by N of Penkridge. The trustees of the late Samuel Addison, Esq, own nearly all the soil, but Lord Stafford is lord of the manor Otherton, one and a half miles SE of Penkridge, is another of Lord Hatherton's manors, and forms a constablewick, containing 3 farms and a few cottages. Pillaton, or Pileton, one and a quarter miles SE of Penkridge, is another ancient manor with only 2 farms. It gives name to one Quarter of Penkridge township, and has been possessed for centuries by the Littleton family, who resided here till the late Sir Edward Littleton deserted the old hall, and erected a new one at Teddesley Hay. Preston, one and a quarter miles W by N of Penkridge, is a liberty of 600acres, belonging to Lord Hatherton. Rodbaston is a hamlet, with 600 acres of land, two miles S of Penkridge. Lord Willoughby de Broke is lord of the manor, but Dr Charles Holland owns the hall estate. Water Eaton is a large hamlet and liberty of scattered houses, on the Watling Street, near Spread Eagle Railway Station, two and a half miles S of Penkridge, comprising about 2000 acres of land, mostly belonging to George Monckton, Esq, of Somerford, and Mr James Smith. It includes part of Calf Heath, which was enclosed about 40 years ago. Whiston is a hamlet and liberty, two miles W of Penkridge, and gives name to one of the Quarters of that township. TW Gifford, Esq owns all the land and is lord of the manor. Wolgarstone, half a mile E of Penkridge, is another hamlet and manor, belonging to Lord Hatherton.
Am not sure, but this could be the John Ingram who was friends with Humphrey Worsley of Staffordshire. John took the scholars gown at the English college in Rome on 15 September 1584, along with Humphrey. John wrote a letter in the summer of 1589 where John Ingram had been unwell and had been sent to the Jesuit's College at Tivoli for a change of air. John remained behind as he was still under the weather, but Humphrey returned to Rome where he died.
