(25, wife, born Nov 1874), German (9, son, born Jun 1890), Blancy C. (8, dau, born Mar 1892), Denver (4, son, born Mar 1896), Founcy (3, son, born Mar 1897), and Cromy (1, son, born Mar 1899). They had been married 11 years, and had six children with five still living.282

The 1910 Wilkes Co census lists them in Traphill Township, house #32, living on the road leading to Brewer’s Mill: Richard Ingool (44, farmer, renting), Mary J. (37, wife), German C. (18, son), Blancy C. (17, dau), Denver (14, son, school), Foncy C. (12, son), Cromey (10, son), Clid (7, son), Verner (4, dau), Erle (1yr 10mo, son), and Ertie (1yr 10mo, dau).

1. German married Nancy Ann Luffman on 3/19/1913.3,285 As required, he registered for war duty in September 1918. He was living in Ronda, and while he stated that he was born in 1885, census records disagree. He was self employed as a farmer, and his “nearest relative” was Nancy A. Ingool. He was medium height and build, with brown eyes and hair. He signed with his mark.398
In 1920 they were living on Little Mountain Rd in Wilkes Co where he was a farmer.113,212 In 1930 they lived on Shoe Factory Hill in Elkin where he was a sander at a furniture factory.212 They lived in and were buried in Jonesville, Yadkin Co, NC.269

2. Blanch is said to have married Johnny Luffman.269 She is buried at Mt. Pisgah Bap Ch.48 She is listed as “Blanche Ingool” and also as “married” with three children in 1930.113

3. A girl died before the 1900 census.282 This girl is presumably shown in a family picture taken in the summer of 1899. She looks to be about the same age or slightly younger than Blanch.

4. Denver married Ada Belle Gentry about 1917.2,212 In June of that year he was required to register for war duty. He was living in Traphill Township as a farmer and stated that his wife and mother-in-law depended on him for income. He was described as being tall and slender, and having dark brown eyes and light brown hair. He stated that he was born in 1894, but census records disagree. He signed the card with his full name.398
In 1920 they lived on Bridge St, and he worked at a cotton mill, probably Chatham Mfg Co.212 In 1930 they lived in Winston-Salem where he was a painter at a furniture factory.212 He lived in Elkin, NC, at his death.193 They are buried at Charity Meth Ch in Wilkes Co.48

5. Fonce was required to register for war duty and did so in September 1918. He stated that he was born in 1900, but census records disagree. He stated that he worked as a farmer for Richard Ingool, his “closest relative”. He was medium height and built, with brown eyes and light hair. He signed the card with his mark.398
He married Lona Casey on 12/24/1928 in Wilkes Co.2,260,325 He died in Wilkes Co and is buried at Mt. Pisgah Bap Ch.48,64,193

6. Crom married Erta Richardson on 2/25/1928 and is buried at Roundhill Bap Ch.2,48,269,451 [b2,7,48,113,282, d2,7,48]

7. Clyde moved to Charleston, SC, and worked as a salesman in a furniture store.365 He married Tina Vernon on 9/6/1921.269,365 [b113,269, d269]

8. Verna married John Sherman Bauguess on 8/21/1920 in Wilkes Co at the age of 15.48,66 She died in Yadkin Co, NC, of heart disease (Yadkin Death Bk 45, p13).64 She is buried at Mt. Pisgah Bap Ch.48 [b32,48,113,193, d32,193,381]

9. Earl married Blanch Gambill on 9/15/1928.2,112 He was listed with his wife and son in 1930.212 He was brought before the Superior Court in March 1931 for store breaking and larceny. He pled not guilty, but the jury found him guilty of the misdemeanor. He was sentenced to five months in the Wilkes Co jail working on the roads.373 He died in Wilkes Co of intestinal trouble and was listed as single on his death certificate.64

10. Erta never married and is buried at Mt. Pisgah Bap Ch.48,324 She lived in Traphill at her death.193 [b7,48,113,193, d7,48,193]

11. Mae married Ed Casey on 7/13/1932 and they lived together until August 1933 according to Alleghany Co, NC, court records. On 1/21/1944, Ed was in court seeking a divorce. On that date, the sheriff reported that, “After due diligence and search Mae Casey is not to be found in Alleghany Co” and she is believed to be a non-resident of NC. As a result, the Allghany News newspaper ran a notice for four weeks, announcing the divorce. The divorce was finally granted on 6/26/1947 in Alleghany Co court.171 I can’t help but wonder if they looked a few miles away, down the mountain, in northern Wilkes Co where her family lived.
She helped to raise her brother Earl’s child Marie Ingool.32,112 [b113, d112]



A-2-2 Nathaniel Ingool (5). Richard Cornelius Ingool was the son of Nathaniel Ingool and Lydia F. Bauguess (A-4-1). They had the following children.2,7

1. Susannah (Susan) Ingool 1855 -
2. Katherine Elizabeth (Cassie) Ingool 1/ 2/1857 – 5/16/1939
3. John Andrew Martin Ingool 8/19/1859 - 7/18/1942
4. Sarah Ingool 1865 -
5. *Richard Cornelius Ingool 12/25/1867 - 1/ 8/1941
6. Rosie F. (Rose) Ingool 8/ 1/1869 - 3/20/1919
7. Phebe Narry Rosiny Ingool 1871 -
8. James Nathaniel Ingool 1/ 6/1874 – 2/18/1951

They lived near Hays, Wilkes Co, NC. The 1860 Wilkes Co census lists them in Traphill Township in house #445/445 as follows: Nathaniel Ingool (26, farmer), Lydia (25), Susan (5), Elizabeth (3), and John A. (9 months).113 Their real estate was valued at $200, while their personal estate was valued at $125. Neither Nathaniel or Lydia could read or write.113,280

The 1870 Wilkes Co census lists them in Walnut Grove Township, Haymeadow PO, in house #141/141: Nathan Ingule (49, farmer), Liddia (36), Milly L. (14, school), Cassy E. (12, school), John A. (10, school), Richard (5), and Rosy (1). Their real estate was valued at $40, while their personal estate was valued at $134.113,242 It seems as if Susan is listed as Milly (who was the only one who could read) in this census.

The 1880 Wilkes Co census lists them in Traphill Township, house #228/232: Nathaniel Ingold (56, farmer), Lydia (40, wife), John A. (17, son), Sarah (15, dau), Richard (13, son), Rosa F. (11, dau), Phebe N. R. (9, dau), and James (5, son). With the exception of Phebe and James who were young, John A. Ingool is the only one listed in the census who could read and write.113,281

1. Susan married William Triplett on 8/8/1878.7,281,283 She was not mentioned as a surviving family member in the 1939 obituary of her sister Cassie.243 Her death is not recorded in Wilkes Co.64 Her second child was born in 1882, and it appears that her husband remarried in 1888. She must have died between those two dates.212,282
[(1880 Wi, Traphill, p23, #224/228)281; (1900 Wi, Traphill #159, p5A, #86/87)212] [b7]

2. Cassie married William Hardin Absher on 2/16/1878 in Wilkes Co.3,7,281,283,389,453 His mother was living with them in 1880.281 In 1920 and 1930, she was a widow living with her son.212 She died of a heart attack at her daughter’s home in Jonesville, Yadkin Co, NC.243 She was buried at Mt. Pisgah Bap Ch.243

3. John married Minnie Minervia Bauguess on 2/24/1882 in Dockery, and they lived in eastern Wilkes Co near Elkin.3,32,113,243,283,307 John A. Ingool, age 51, applied for voter registration on 10/27/1906, Edwards Township, where he stated that he was a descendant of Nathaniel Ingool who was a voter on 1/1/1867.195
He married his second wife Martha Alice Luffman on 11/6/1908 in Wilkes Co.269,284 In 1920 they lived on Shoe Factory Hill, and he was a laborer at the shoe factory.212
He is said to be buried at Macedonia Bap Ch, but I could not find his headstone.7,64 His death certificate says he was a farmer.64

4. Sarah married John Crouse in May 1881 in Wilkes Co with her age given as 19 and J. A. Ingool as a witness.283 However, on the very same date and on the very next line in the marriage register, it says John Crouse married Sarah Taugala (age 19) in Dockery with witness J. A. Tuglah.283 One or the other must be a mistake in the records. I have not seen the last name Taugala/Tuglah anywhere, and there is no John or Sarah Crouse in the 1900 Wilkes Co census.282 She was not mentioned as a surviving family member in the 1939 obituary of her sister Cassie.243 Her death certificate was not found in Wilkes Co.64 [b2]

5. Richard married Mary Jane Walker on 9/19/1890 at Joseph Spicer’s residence (her step father).2,66,283 They were married by Rev. J. J. Caudill, a Baptist minister, in Wilkes Co.2,66 Richard Ingool, age 38, applied for voter registration on 10/29/1904, Traphill Township, where he stated that he was a descendant of Nathaniel Ingool who was a voter on 1/1/1867.195
His granddaughter remembers Richard having a large mustache and often wearing a red cap.32 He was a mason and built many chimneys in the vicinity of Hays and Traphill.380 He worked as a farmer and died of old age according to his death certificate.64 He is buried at Mt. Pisgah Bap Ch.48,64 [b7,48, d7,48,64]

6. Rose married Joseph Lange Wiles on 3/14/1886 in Wilkes Co.3,223,283 She died in Wilkes Co (Bk 5, p223) and is buried at Covenant Ch.64,286

7. Narry (or it may be written Mary, age 24, in the marriage records) married Dock Luffman (age 27) on 4/13/1896 at her father’s house in Wilkes Co.269,283,307 They have not been found in the 1900 Wilkes Co census.282
By 1930, Dock had died and Narry was living with her son’s family in Elkin. They were renting their home on E. Main St for $9 per month. She and her son both worked at the woolen mill known as Chatham Manufacturing Co. She was a “specker”, and he was a “carder”. Their neighbors were wealthy members of the Chatham family, and in fact, they were probably renting their home from them.212
In the 1939 obituary of her sister Cassie, “Mrs. Nara Ingool Lufmer” is listed as a surviving sister.243 No record of her death has been found in Wilkes Co.64

8. James married Mandy J. Grimes on 10/25/1894 at his father’s house in Wilkes Co.283 In the 1910s, the family moved west from Wilkes Co to Kingsport, TN. In 1920 he was living on Sullivan St with his wife and three younger children, with his oldest son nearby in the county jail. James was working as a wood pealer at a pulp mill.212 At some point they moved to Greensboro in Guilford Co, NC.338 In the 1939 obituary of his sister Cassie, he is listed as a surviving brother, living in Greensboro.243 He was living there on 20th Street with a granddaughter when he died of heart disease (Bk 79, p509).64,339 He was buried in Forest Lawn Cem.64 His oldest son was named James Claude Ingool.432
[(1900 Wi, Walnut Grove, p246A, #5)282; (1910 Wi, N Wi #174, p9A, #151/152)212; (1920 Sullivan, TN, Kingsport #167, p21B, #434/482)212] [b2,7,64,282, d64,338,339]

On 11/16/1876, in Wilkes Co it was entered into record that Nathaniel Ingold received 7 ½ acres on Roaring River, adjacent to his property, from the State of NC at a price of 12 ½ ¢ per acre.67

On 4/18/1883, in Wilkes Co Nathaniel Ingould bought 118 ½ acres, adjacent to Thomas Blackburn, from J. P. Garris for $10. The record was witnessed by Newton Blackburn and Eli Blackburn.67



A-2-3 Frederick Ingold (6). Nathaniel Ingool was the son of Frederick Ingold and Susan Shoe (A-17-1). They had the following children.2,113,212,262

1. *Nathaniel Ingool 1831 -
2. John Ingold 1833 –
3. William Ingold 1838 –
4. George Harrison Ingold 1844 -

The 1830 Wilkes Co, NC, census includes the family of Frederic Ingold (p383) with one male (15-20) and one female (20-30).277

The household of Frederick Ingold is listed in the 1839 Wilkes Co agricultural census. In that year, he had no horses, cattle, or sheep. He did have/produce 8 swine, $1 poultry, 10 bushels of oats, 160 bushels of corn, 3 bushels of potatoes, 3 tons of hay, 5 bales of cotton, and $15 worth of homemade goods.179

The 1840 Wilkes Co census includes the family of Frederick Ingold in Capt. Wellborn’s District, Wilkesboro, with one male (under 5), two males (5-10), one male (30-40), and one female (30-40).113,179,278

The 1850 Wilkes Co census lists this family in house #27: Frederick Ingole (40, farmer, born Guilford Co), Lucy (50), Nathan (19), John (17), William (12), Harrison (6), Judith Stone (21), Amanda Stone (19), Martha Stone (15), and Phelix Stone (17).113,279 The Stones were children from Lucy’s first marriage.

They are listed in the 1860 Wilkes Co census in Wilkesboro Township in house #1234/1234 as follows: Frederick Ingool (52, day laborer), Lucy (55), and George H. (16, school). They had no real estate, but their personal estate was valued at $50. Frederick and Lucy could not read or write.113,280 From this time forward, they were usually referred to as the Ingool family.

They are listed in the 1870 Wilkes Co census in Edwards Township, house #7/7: Fredrick Ingule (65, farmer), Jane (39), and Elizabeth Phelps (81). None of them could write, and only Elizabeth could read. No property value was listed.242 Jane must be his wife, Jennie. Elizabeth is probably Jennie’s mother.

The 1880 Wilkes Co census lists them in Antioch Township, p162, house #1/1: Frederick Ingool (78, laborer on farm) and Jennie (55, wife, disabled).2,281

The 1910 Wilkes Co census lists Jennie living with a family in Antioch Township, p8B, #153/153: Julian N. Harris (60, married 35 years, farmer), Dareas A. (54, wife, 12 children, 8 living), Clyde G. (18, son), Nellie V. (16, daughter), and Jinie Ingool (90, lodger, widow, 1 child, 1 still living).212

1. Nat was probably born in Wilkes Co. He was first married to Lydia Bauguess on 9/25/1853 by John Gentry in Wilkes Co.2 They were charter members of Mt. Pisgah Bap Ch when it was organized on 2/14/1879.13 One summer day he was working outside with his children. The bugs and flies were thick and one of his sons said, “I wish all these gnats were dead, except for Daddy.”45
Nathaniel married his second wife Matilda Prevette on 3/12/1894 at her home in Wilkes Co. The marriage record gives his age as 60, and hers as 50.66,283 He died after 4/13/1896 and before the 1900 census when she is listed without him and with three children from a previous marriage.282
He died on his farm while working on a fence with his neighbors. When he collapsed one man said something like, “Keep working. He’s not going to get this fence built.”45 He, his wife, and maybe three or four others (possibly children) are buried in almost forgotten graves on the farm in Traphill.45,106 [b2,7] Ref 13, p11.

2. John married Elizabeth Johnson on 8/11/1853 in Wilkes Co.262 About 1855 they moved to Greene Co, TN.262 “John Ingole” enlisted in Green Co, TN, as a private in Co N, 64th NC Reg about 9/27/1862.320 He was later transferred to Fitzgerald’s Co, 16th Bn TN Cav in January 1863, but that company was later disbanded due to the inefficiency of the officers.320
In the 1870s they moved northwest into MO.262 On 5/27/1877, their daughter Susan Ingold was married in Williamson Co, IL.262
[(1860 Green Co, TN)262, (1870 Green Co, TN)262, (1880 Dunklin Co, MO)262] [b113]

3. William may have left Wilkes Co or died before 1860.113,279 [b113,279]

4. George was the son of either Frederick’s first or second wife. “G. H. Ingold” enlisted in Co G, 54th Reg on 4/5/1862 in Wilkes Co at the age of 18. His Confederate papers show that he was 5’ 8”, a farmer born in Wilkes Co, and was at Camp Mangum near Raleigh on 5/23/1862. He was absent from the muster rolls of May/July 1862 because he was sick. The November/December and January/February 1863 rolls show that he was present. However, the March/April 1863 rolls show that he was “deserted March 30” in Fredericksburg, VA. This was three months after the hard fought Battle of Fredericksburg that resulted in a Confederate victory.367 He may have died there as a result of combat, or he may have simply deserted to start a life elsewhere. He has not been found after 1863.

Susan Shoe must have died between 1840 and 1850. Frederick then married his second wife, Lucy Johnson Stone.247,262 Lucy was first married to Byrd Stone, and they had at least four children born between 1828 and 1835. As a widow, Lucy may have been living with her father Moses Johnson in 1840. In 1850 Lucy and her children were living with Frederick and his children. Lucy must have died before 1870 and, in his sixties, Frederick married his third wife, Jennie Phelps.326 Frederick Ingold died before 1890 in Wilkes Co.2

The parents of Susan Shoe are not known. However, she is likely a granddaughter of Phillip Shew (1740s -1830s) who, like Frederick Ingold, moved to Wilkes Co from Guilford Co. Phillip Shew and most of his sons were in Wilkes Co before the 1810 census. Only his son Henry Shew is known to have stayed in Guilford Co where Frederick and Susan were married in 1829. While this would suggest that perhaps Susan is a daughter of Henry, he is not believed to have had a daughter named Susan. Another scenario is that Susan grew up in Wilkes Co, but met Frederick in Guilford Co while she was visiting her cousins. After she married, they moved back to Wilkes to be near her immediate family. Perhaps land records or a will in Wilkes Co will provide more information.

After searching early Guilford Co land records, there are only two that mention a Frederick Ingold. The first deed is presented here, and the second is included in the next section. On 9/25/1829 Frederick Ingole and Eve Ingole, both of Guilford Co, are firmly bound to Robert Mayben and Co. in the amount of $80. Frederick was selling “all his undivided part of all the land that fell to him by the death of his father William Ingole contained in the following tracts of land amounting to one ninth part of said tracts” along Stinking Quarter Creek and the county line. The two tracts totaled 209 acres, with his share being 23.25 acres. However, if Frederick established a title to this land within two and a half years, he would repay the $80 and could keep the land. The deed was witnessed by Barbary Ingole and Eve Clapp, both signing with their marks. In the May 1832 court, Barbary Ingold appeared in court to prove the execution of the bond. (Guil DB 19, p599).67 I believe that “Eve Ingole” refers to Frederick’s mother Eve, signing the document with him perhaps because he was only 18 years old. His aunt and sister were the witnesses. Frederick had just gotten married in August and was preparing to move to Wilkes Co to be with his wife’s family. He would have no use for the land, so he sold it as a type of mortgage that allowed him to reclaim it if he wanted to return. Since he did not return by March 1832, the deed was proven in the next term of court.



A-2-4 William Ingold (7). Frederick Ingold was the son of William Ingold and his wife who was likely named Eve. They had the following children according to the division of William’s estate.67

1. George W. Ingold 1800 - 1881
2. John Ingold
3. Sally Ingold 1805 -

6. Catharine Ingold
7. Solomon Ingold 1814 -
8. Charity Ingold
9. Elinor (Nelly) Ingold

They lived in southeastern Guilford Co, NC, on the south side of Stinking Quarter Creek along the border of Orange Co.

The family of William Ingold is listed in the 1800 Guilford Co census, p631, with one male (16-26) and one female (16-26).212,287

The family of Wm. Ingold is listed in the 1810 Guilford Co census, Greensboro Dist, p970, with two males (under 10), one male (26-45), one female (16-26), one female (26-45), and one slave.152,212

The 1815 Guilford Co tax list includes William Ingold in John Shaw’s district, where he was taxed for 224 acres valued at $450 and for one white poll.355

The family has not been found in the 1820 Guilford Co census, possibly because part of it may be missing. They have not been found in the Orange Co census, either.

1. George married Catherine Bowman on 11/6/1820 in Guilford Co.120 On 10/25/1859 he bought 19.5 acres on “the Big Road” from William E. Goley and his wife for $85 (Guil DB 38, p64).67 The following year George sold him 6 acres back (Guil DB 41, p143-4).67 On 11/1/1870 he sold an acre on Stinking Quarter Creek to Washington McClintock for $20 (Guil DB 43, p504).67
On 1/13/1874 he and his wife sold 100 acres beside “widow Goley’s corner” to Simpson S. Ingold (likely their son) for $100 (Guil DB 57, p308-10).67 On 1/22/1881 he and his wife sold 1.86 acres to Simpson Ingold for $1. The land was “to be used for the purpose of distilling spririts” and Simpson had the right to carry on the business for two years (Guil DB 59, p194-5).67
In the 1880 census he was listed as “maimed, crippled, or bedridden”.212 On 3/2/1882 an auction was held to sell his estate.361 His land was divided among his heirs later that year (Guil DB 53, p95).67 Fifteen years earlier on 3/9/1867, George wrote a deed to Oliver Staley who would receive $315 worth of land upon George’s death. The deed was proven on 11/25/1881, indicating that George died earlier that year (Guil DB 59, p586).67

2. John bought his sister Eve’s undivided share of their father’s estate on 8/19/1826 (Guil DB 19, p397).67 Three days later he married Mary Bowman on 8/22/1826 in Guilford Co.120 He and his wife were age (20-30) in 1830, with two young children.212 He likely died before the 1850 census when he is not listed with his wife and three children.212

3. Sally married Peter Bowman.67,361 She died after 1870.212

4. Eve married John David Clapp on 6/26/1826 in Guilford Co.67,361 They were mentioned together in a land record dated 8/19/1826.67 They may be the couple listed in the 1830 Guilford Co census where he is (20-30), she is (15-20), and a son is (under 5).212 Perhaps they are listed in 1840 in Randolph Co with five young children.212

5. Frederick married Susan Shoe in Guilford Co on 8/6/1829 with bondsman Daniel Bennett and witness A. E. Hanner according to marriage bond #000056593.2,120,246,326 Within the next few months they moved 100 miles west to Wilkes Co where they are found in the census.277 He died after 1880.281 [b113,212,277,279,351]

6. Catharine had not yet married in 1831 when her father’s land was divided.120

7. Solomon was under the guardianship of William Coble in May 1830 when his father’s estate was being settled.361 He married Polly Hamphill on 12/6/1837 in Guilford Co.120 He died after 1880 when he was listed in the census as “maimed, crippled, or bedridden”.212

8. Charity (occasionally listed as Catrout) had not yet married in 1831 when her father’s land was divided.120 She may have been the youngest of the children, born just before her father died in 1820. On 3/29/1838, Charity Ingold of Orange Co sold her 28 acre portion of her father’s estate to William Coble of Guilford Co for $80 (Guil DB 24, p449-50).67 Perhaps she had just reached the age of 18 and could legally sell her land.

9. Nelly had not yet married in 1831 when her father’s land was divided.67 There was a Nelly (died 10/3/1867, age 62y, 1m, 18d) wife of John B. Low who was buried at Brick Ref Ch, but there is no indication this is her.48

On 11/23/1820, George May, William Matthews, and John Garrett were sworn in to administer the estate of William Ingold, deceased. Seven years later, on 5/10/1827, the settlement listed the payouts to those that were owed money. These amounts totaled $169.45 and included any money that was owed by the deceased for items such as crops, livestock, work done, and clerk fees. Of the 23 items, $1.05 went to A. Ingold, $6.30 to P. Ingold, $3.00 to “widow’s Rcd”, and $44.63 for the “widow’s allowance”.

On 5/3/1831, at the May term of Guilford Co court, the heirs of William Ingold, deceased, requested that his estate containing 209 acres be divided. The petitioners were George Ingold, John Ingold, Peter Bowman and wife Sarah, John Clapp and wife Eve, Frederick Ingold, Catherine Ingold, Solomon Ingold by William Coble (guardian), Catrout Ingold, and Eliner Ingold. The papers state that five of the heirs are “infants” under 21 years of age: Solomon, Frederick, Catherine, Catrout, and Elinor. Solomon was represented by his guardian, and the others were represented by their older brother George.361

On 7/30/1831, the division of the estate of William Ingold, deceased, was submitted to the August term of court.67,361 His land was divided into nine lots.

· Lot #1: worth $52.50, located on the county line, 21 acres, to Nelly Ingold.
· Lot #2: worth $36.75, located on the county line, 21 acres, to Fredric Ingold.
· Lot #6: worth $57, on creek, 19 acres, to John Ingold.
· Lot #3: worth $76.12, on county line, 21 acres, to Catharine Ingold who must pay John $6.27.
· Lot #4: worth $37.50, on county line, 21 acres, to George Ingold who must pay John $3.65.
· Lot #5: worth $103.50, on county line along creek, 23 acres to Solomon Ingold who must pay Frederic $33.09 and John $0.5575.
· Lot #7: worth $88, along creek, 16 acres, to Sally Bowman (wife of Peter Bowman) who must pay Nelly $17.34 and John $0.8066.
· Lot #8: worth $71.23, at Adam Ingold’s corner, 19 acres, to Eve Clapp (wife of John Clapp) who must pay John $1.40.
· Lot #9: worth $70, at Plunkett’s corner, 28 acres, to Charity Ingold who must pay John $0.15.

The deed was signed by those appointed to divide the land: J. Henry Clapp, Daniel Clapp, John Clapp, David Faglemon, and George Clapp. (Guil. DB 19, p589-90).67

Before the estate was divided, the land of William Ingole, deceased, is mentioned in a deed. On 8/19/1826, John Clapp and his wife Eva sold their one ninth share of William’s estate to John Ingole for $40. The land was a portion of the 209 acres on Stinking Quarter Creek. The deed mentions that “widow Ingold, their mother and mother-law” lives on the land. The deed was proven in the August 1831 term of court, after the divisions had been made. (Guil DB 19, p397-8).67

William’s widow Eve was living on 5/10/1827 when a settlement of his estate was presented to the Guilford Co court where the “widow’s allowance” was $44.63.
However, she had died before 5/21/1830 when William Coble is found as the administrator of her small estate. In the November 1831 term of court, her estate was valued at only $144.11, of which $72.68 went to pay administration costs. (Settlements, Vol X6, p174).399
In the May 1831 term of court William’s heirs were referred to as having “no guardian”. A settlement of her estate, valued at $71.42, was presented at the August 1831 term of court.



A-2-5 Peter Ingold, Sr. (8). William Ingold was the son of Peter Ingold, Sr. and Christina Strader.347,351,354 They had the following children according to land and church records.67,354

1. Peter Ingold, Jr. - 1820
2. *William Ingold - 1820
3. John Ingold - 1813
4. Barbara Ingold 1789 -
5. Adam Ingold 5/ 6/1790 – 12/25/1842
6. Jacob Ingold

They lived on Stinking Quarter Creek along the border of Orange and Guilford Co.67

The family of Peter Tingold is listed in the 1790 Guilford Co, NC, census, p505, with one male (over 16), three males (under 16 [Peter Jr, William, John]), and two females.212 In this census, there were 7,106 people in 1,093 households within the county.

The 1792 Orange Co, NC, tax list includes Peter Ingold in St. Asaph’s District. The source did not list any other information.359

The family of Peter Ingold is listed in the 1800 Orange Co census, Hillsborough, with two males (under 10 [Adam, Jacob]), one male (16-26 [John]), one male (over 45), one female (under 10 [Barbara]), and one female (over 45).212 Both Peter Jr and William were listed in their own households.

On 11/1/1800, there were 48 people who were confirmed by Rev. Andrew Loretz at Brick Ref Ch in southeastern Guilford Co. Among them were #1 Peter Ingold, #2 William Ingold, and #44 Barbara Ingold. Also, on 10/1/1802, John Ingold was one of 15 who were confirmed by Rev. Henry Diffenbach after 18 days of instruction.354 Ref 354, p56-7.
Confirmation was a ceremony usually for children who had become old enough to accept responsibility for their own spiritualism. Typically this was when the child was about twelve years old. Even though Peter and William were closer to 20 years old, it is still possible that these four were children of Peter Ingold, Sr.

The family of Peter Ingold is listed in the 1810 Orange Co census, Hillsborough, with two males (16-26 [Adam, Jacob]), one male (over 45), one female (10-16 [unknown]), and one female (over 45).212

The 1815 Guilford Co tax list includes Peter Ingold in John Shaw’s District with 250 acres worth $250 and no polls since he was exempt due to his age.355

The family of Peter Ingold is listed in the 1820 Orange Co census with three males (under 10), one male (26-45), one male (over 45), one female (under 10), one female (26-45), and one female (over 45). One person is working in agriculture, and another in manufacturing.212 It appears that Peter and his wife are living with the family of one of their children, probably Adam.

Peter and his wife Christina were listed among those who received Communion at Brick Ref Ch in 1802, 1805, 1806, 1822, 1823, and 1824. Peter attended without his wife on 4/24/1825. Records between 1806 and 1822 have not been found.354 Ref 354, p60-71.

1. Peter, Jr. was born between 1774 and 1784 according to census records.212,287 From land, church, and estate records, his wife’s name was Barbara.67,354,361 In 1800 Peter was living with his wife and two young girls.212 In 1802, 1805, and 1806, Peter and his wife were among those who received Communion at Brick Ref Ch.354 In 1822, 1823, and 1824, only Barbara is listed at the service.354 By 1810, they had four more children.212 He was in the 1815 Guilford Co tax list with 100 acres worth $350 and one white poll.355
Peter died before 8/16/1823 when his estate was settled (Guilford IS&S of Estates, p27).378 It appears that he died in 1820 because George Coble was appointed the administrator of his estate on 11/20/1820.361 The sale of his property took place on 12/15/1820 (Guilford Inventories of Estates, p60).379
On 5/20/1823 and 8/19/1823 his widow Barbara was listed as the guardian of his nine children.361 (Guilford Guardian Docket, X4, p88).377 By 8/8/1829, land records show that his widow and many of the children sold their part of his 96 acre estate to their brother Joel over the next few years (Guil DB 18, p381).67 In 1830, Joel (20‑30) is listed in the Guilford Co census with the family and a woman (50-60) who is presumably his mother, Barbara.212 Barbara died on 5/7/1848 and was buried at Brick Ref Ch according to funeral records.357
[(1800 Guil, Salisbury, p647)212,287; (1810 Guil, Gso, p971)152,212; (1830 Guilford)212] Ref 354, p60-71; Ref 357, p275.

2. William was born between 1774 and1784 according to census records. He married his wife Eve about 1800 because they were living together with no children in that census.212,287
The records of Brick Ref Ch list William Ingold among those receiving Communion in 1802 and 1805. The 1805 listing says he was the son of Peter and Christina. While others are listed with their wives, William is not, even though he must have been married at the time. Perhaps his wife Eve was not a member of the German Reformed Church, and therefore did not attend the services.354
He died before 11/23/1820 when George May was the administrator of his estate.361 On 8/19/1826 his daughter sold her undivided portion of his estate.67

3. John was born between 1774 and 1784 according to census records.212,433 He was a “son of Peter Ingold” according to Brick Ch records.354 He married Dorothy (Dolly) Anthony on 1/30/1806 according to Brick Ch records.354 On 3/30/1806, “John Ingold and his wife Dorothea” were witnesses to the baptism of his sister Barbara’s son.354 He is listed among those who received Communion at Brick Ref Ch in 1806.354 He may be the “J. Ingold” listed in the 1810 Guilford Co census where he and his wife are (26‑45), and they have three young children.212
John must have died before 6/8/1813 when “the heirs of John Ingold, deceased” bought 250 acres on Reedy Fork for $375 from four couples including “Peter and Christain Ingold” (Guil DB 11, p242-3).67 Beginning in 1817, Dolly was the “guardian for her children” after John’s death.361 On 9/25/1828, Dolly and her four children sold the 250 acres on Reedy Fork to John Sockwell for $375 (Guil DB 20, p162-3).67

[d67,361] Ref 354, p23,63.

4. Barbara married John Garrett on 2/12/1804 according to Brick Ref Ch records.347,348,350,354 There is said to be a marriage bond dated 2/1/1804 for their marriage where John Ingold was bondsman.347 They are listed among those who attended Communion at Brick Ref Ch in 1805 and 1806.354 In 1815, John Garrett was listed in the Guilford Co tax list with 100 acres worth $250 and one white poll.355 She died between 1860 and 1870.212

5. Adam was born about 1790 according to census records.212 On 11/11/1818, he was the bondsman of a marriage in Orange Co. On 5/30/1818 Adam Ingold received a grant (#2227) for two acres on Stinking Quarter Creek along the county line at a cost of $5 per hundred acres. The deed was witnessed by William Ingold and Henry Bowman, and was recorded on 11/30/1819 (Guil DB 70, p116-7).67
On 5/6/1827 Adam is listed among those who received Communion at Brick Ref Ch. The next name in the list is Jane Ingold, suggesting that she may have been his wife.354
In 1830, his age seems to be (40-50) and he is living with a female (20-30), another man (30-40), two young boys, and four females (under 20).212 It appears to be two families living together. Perhaps he is living with his younger brother Jacob.
On 12/14/1833, Adam Ingold sold 0.56 acres on Stinking Quarter Creek to Joshua Johnson, both of Orange Co, for $10 (Guil DB 21, p393).67
The cemetery records of Low’s Lutheran Ch show an Adam Ingold (5/6/1790-12/25/1842) who was married to Catharine Coble (11/30/1782-7/9/1835).347,428
After his first wife died, he appears to have remarried to Margaret about 1836 and had three children.212

[b347, d347] Ref 354, p72.

6. Jacob is a mystery. The only mention of him is when he received land from his father in 1814.67 It was initially thought that Jacob and John were the same person, but that is not possible. John had died by 1813, but Jacob received land in 1814.67

Christina (or, Christain) Strader was probably born before 1755 according to census records.212 She was still living as late as 1824 when her name was found in church records.354 She may be related to a Johannes Conrad Strader who arrived in Philadelphia in 1752 on the Phoenix from Rotterdam, Holland. His family lived in Berks Co, PA, before moving to NC. He died about 1808 in Caswell Co, NC, on Hogan’s Creek. He had at least seven children born in Orange Co, NC, between 1756 and 1775.400

The following records refer to Peter Ingold, Sr.

On 10/22/1782, Peter Ingold received a grant from the State of NC (#555) for 200 acres at a cost of 50 shillings per 100 acres. The land was on the waters of Stinken Quarter, adjacent to Suller’s corner and Shatterlin’s line. (Guil DB 3, p115).67

On 10/22/1782, Peter Ingold received a grant from the State of NC (#515) for 50 acres at a cost of 50 shillings per 100 acres. The land was on the waters of Stinken Quarter, adjacent to Lineberry’s corner. (Guil DB 3, p115A).67

In the February 1794 court of Orange Co, Peter Ingold was one of twelve men instructed to lay off a road from May’s Ford to Mrs. Hawkins’ and then on to Capt. David Patterson’s fence, by way of Christian Coble’s place.360

In the May 1794 court of Orange Co, Peter Ingold was one of twelve men instructed to lay off a road from John Coontce’s place to Mrs. Hawkins’.360

On 11/23/1797, Peter Ingold of Orange Co sold 50 acres on Stinking Quarter Creek to George Lineberry for £20. Peter had acquired the land from a grant on 10/22/1782. It was recorded in the November 1797 court and witnessed by Peter Ingoll and Benjamin Morgan. (Guil DB 6, p370-1).67

On 8/19/1800, Peter Ingold of Orange Co bought land from John Coble of Guilford Co for $335.25. The land was 224.5 acres in Guilford Co on the south side of Stinking Quarter Creek, along the county line, adjacent to Plunket’s corner. The deed was proven in the August 1800 court. (Guil DB 7, p263-4).67

On 8/14/1811, Peter Ingold, Sr. of Orange Co sold land to William Ingold of Guilford Co for $450. The land was 100 acres on Stinking Quarter Creek, adjacent to Foust’s line and Plunket’s line. The deed was recorded in the May 1812 court. (Guil DB 11, p7).67

On 6/8/1813, Martin Warrick and wife Barbara, Peter Ingold and wife Christain, Adam Suits and wife Susannah, George Shumaker, and Valentine Cobb sold land to “the heirs of John Ingold, deceased” for $375. The land was 250 acres situated on Reedy Fork. (Guil DB 11, p242-3).67

On 3/5/1814, Peter Ingold, Sr. was a witness to the baptism of Obadia Amick, the son of Nickalous Amick and his wife Saloma, at Brick Ref Ch.354 Ref 354, p28.

On 5/21/1814, Peter Ingold, Sr. of Orange Co gave land to William Ingold of Guilford Co “for and in consideration of the love that he doth bear to his son”. The land was 112 acres in Guilford Co on Stinking Quarter Creek along the county line, adjacent to Plunkett’s line. The deed seems to mistakenly refer to Peter Ingold, Jr, perhaps because he also received a gift from his father on the same date. The deed was recorded in the May 1816 court. (Guil DB 12, p187).67

On 5/21/1814, Peter Ingold, Sr. of North Carolina gave land to Peter Ingold, Jr. of Guilford Co “for love and good will that I bear to my son”. The land was 95 acres on Stinking Quarter Creek, adjacent to Shatterly’s line and Plunkett’s line. It was recorded in the May 1816 court. (Guil DB 12, p222).67

On 5/21/1814, Peter Ingold, Sr. of Orange Co gave land to John Garrett of Guilford Co “for love and good will to daughter Barbara Garrett and her husband John”. The land was 104 acres on Stinking Quarter Creek. It was recorded in the May 1816 court. (Guil DB 12, p208-9).67

On 5/21/1814, Peter Ingold of Orange Co gave land to Jacob Ingold of Orange Co “for love and good will to my son”. The land was on Stinking Quarter Creek at the border of Guilford Co. It was recorded at the August 1816 court and witnessed by Adam Ingold and D. Grieson. (Orange DB 15, p350).67

On 8/14/1816, Peter Ingold, Sr. of Orange Co gave land to Adam Ingold of Orange Co “for love and good will”. The land was in Orange Co on Stinking Quarter Creek at the border of Guilford Co. It was recorded at the August 1816 court and witnessed by William Cullach and Jacob Ingold. (Orange DB 15, p350-1).67



Peter Ingold, Sr. is said to be buried at Brick Ref Ch, located in southeastern Guilford Co and founded in 1748.348 There are said to be church records stating that he died on 10/18/1825 at the age of 72 years.254 An inventory of “marked and known” graves was taken in 1925 and includes “Peter Ingold”.354 Therefore, he was born about 1753. It has been said that he can be found in Orange Co records as early as 1774. Ref 254, Vol 23, #2, 1996, p74; Ref 354, p110.

Peter Ingold left a will in Orange Co dated 8/28/1818 and proven in November 1825. He mentions his “wife”, “son Adam”, “William Ingold”, and that he leaves “nothing to other heirs”. The witnesses were Jacob Shearer, John Garrett, and Peter Ingold. (Orange WB E, p89).167 It is not surprising that he left nothing to his heirs since he had already given them most (if not all) of his land. By only mentioning his “son Adam”, it supports the idea that Adam may have been the youngest, and was perhaps still living at home.

The records of Brick Ref Ch list the marriage of Peter Ingold to Christina Strader “by a justice” on 10/11/1774.347,351,354 Ref 354, p93.

There are still several potential members of this family who have not yet been placed.
· William Ingold was born 6/20/1721 and died 1801 according to an inventory of “marked and known” graves at Brick Ref Ch that was made in 1925.354 Ref 354, p110.
· Jacob Ingold is listed in the 1810 Guilford census, over age 45, and living with his wife and ten children.
· Peter Ingold was listed in the 1755 Orange Co tax list. (More information below.)
· There may have been a Mary Ingold who married Frederick Moser Jr (b1771) in 1794 in Guilford or Orange Co. After her death, her husband remarried in 1799.
· John Ingole (age 50-60) is found in the 1830 Guilford Co census living with eight others. However, the John Ingold, son of Peter Sr, died by 1813.
· There is said to be a John Ingold who married Anna. They had a daughter born in 1755 who married Peter Amick, possibly in NC.
· Possibly the same family as above, there was a Johannes Ingold who married Anne Margrette in Schoharie, NY. He is said to have come from Germany in 1717.

There is a record of a young man named Peter Ingold arriving in Philadelphia aboard the brigantine Pennsylvania Merchant ship on 9/18/1733. He is listed among the 191 passengers as being under the age of 16. There are no other passengers with the same last name, so perhaps he came alone. This ship originated in Rotterdam, Holland, which was a major port for ships traveling to America carrying German passengers or cargo.344 On 12/15/1743, Peter Ingold had 100 acres surveyed in Philadelphia Co, PA, according to the early record books at the Land Office.345 If he had to be at least 21 years old to patent land in 1743, and was under 16 when he arrived in 1733, then he was likely born between 1717 and 1722.

It is probably the same Peter Ingold who was listed in the 1755 tax list for Orange Co, NC, where he is charged only for one white poll.346,358 While he is certainly older than the Peter (born 1753) mentioned above, he would, however, be about the right age of his father. Most early Orange Co records were destroyed during the Revolutionary War, so it may be difficult to prove this connection.

One simple explanation to account for all of the earliest members of this family is that a young man named “William Peter Ingold” was born about 1720 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1733. He had at least two sons: Peter (born 1753) and Jacob (born c1760). However, there is no proof to support this scenario.

The Ingold name is definitely German, with the first immigrant arriving in Philadelphia as so many other German families did between 1720 and 1750. Many families stayed in the vicinity of Pennsylvania, but by the 1740s, there was a significant migration south, down the Great Wagon Road through the Shenandoah Valley. These early German families settled in the Haw River valley in what is now Guilford, Alamance, and Orange Co, NC. From 1734 to 1750, this was Bladen and Johnston Co. In 1750, Anson Co was formed from the western portion of Bladen. In 1752, Orange Co was created and covered all the area where the earliest members of the Ingold family are known to have settled. Finally, in 1771, Guilford Co was created from the western part of Orange Co.

Many German families settled in this area during the mid 1700s including: Albright, Clapp, Faust, Holt, Sharp (Scherb), Laws, Graves (Greff), Summers, Cobb (Kaub), Coble, Swing (Schwenk), Cortner (Goertner), Ingold, Bowers, Keim, Staley, Mays, Amick (Emig), Smith, Stack, Nease, Ingle, Leinberger, and others.2,5

“Their first place of worship was in a log building near where Laws Church now stands, on the old road from Hillsboro to Salisbury, now in the southeast corner of Guilford County, N.C. Soon this small log house gave way to a larger and more comfortable place of worship, whose corner-stones a few years since could still be seen. In those early years Ludwig Clapp and Christian Faust were Elders, and Ingold and Leimberger were Deacons.”2

Ludwig Clapp bought 640 acres “on the Alamance (Creek) in 1752” and Christian Faust owned land in Western Orange Co5. These Fausts came to America from Germany on the ship Elizabeth in 1732 and settled in PA. Some came to NC a few years later6. I mention this because the Ingolds may have been with the Fausts as they traveled along this route.

In here are my relatives also. my grat grandfather is Nathaniel and his father John who is married to Elizabeth Johnson and his father is Fredrick who is married to Susan Shew. and so on.
