Thomas Inkersall,
[1]
son of John and Rose was born about 1593 probably in Derby,
England. He married Margery Eaton,
daughter of John Eaton, ropemaker of Stepney on December 15, 1620 in St.
Dunstans, Stepney, Middlesex, England. Thomas was buried on May 30, 1681
in St. Werburghs, Derby, England. Margery was buried on December 26,
1664 at St. Werburghs. "It appears that Thomas Ingersoll moved from Derby to the Greater London area, where he became a ropemaker in Stepney. Around 1625, he returned to Derby, where he was a shoemaker and the town crier. A town crier was not the figure of legend who called out the hours throughout the night. He was instead a paid town official who made official announcements at specified times to a populace that was still largely illiterate. The Derby rental rolls include yearly payments by the borough; the rolls for 1677, 1677/8, 1680, and 1682 show that he was paid £2 12s a year for performing his duties." "He executed his will on 12 August 1673, w4en he was sickly and weak, but he recovered and continued to perform his duties as town crier. When he died in 1681, he was about 88 years old. His son, Samuel Ingersoll, succeeded him as town crier and may well have been performing the duties earlier." Children of Thomas and Margery listed in this source are:

John Ingersoll,
[1]
son of Thomas and Margery was bapt. at St.Werburgh',
Derby in September, 1626. According to "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register" source, p.153-4 "...he was married about 1651 to Dorothy Lord, a daughter of Thomas Lord, an original proprietor of Hartford. From Hartford, Ingersoll moved up the Connecticut River to Northhampton, Massachusetts, where his wife died in January 1656/7. He married secondly, on 12 December 1657, Abigail Bascom [daughter of Thomas Bascom and Avis]. She died in April 1666, and he married, third, Mary Hunt; this marriage must have ocurred about 1667, since they had a child in 1668. He settled about 1666 in what became Westfield, where he died on 3 September 1684; his widow died on 18 August 1690." The 4 children of John and Abigail are:

H)ester Ingersoll,
[1]
daughter of John and Abigail. According to "The Ingersolls of
Hampshire" by John Ingersoll (1893); p. 20-21 : Hester "was born
in Northampton, Mass. September 9, 1665. She married William Gurley of
Northampton in 1684. He died in May 1, 1687. There was one
child by this marriage...Samuel, born in Nothampton May 6, 1686 died
February 23, 1760....The widow of William Gurley married for a second
husband, Benoni Jones of Northampton,
Jan 23, 1689 and soon afterwards went to live in Pascommuck, north end of
Mount Tom, Northampton. Four sons were born. (See Benoni's
record for their children.) On May 13, 1704, the French and Indians made a descent upom Pascommuck and killed Benoni Jones and his two youngest children. One was five years old, and the other a babe of fourteen months. Hester was captured and was taken to Canada as a prisoner. She was obliged, by her captors, to make the whole journey on foot, and suffered many hardships and was treated with much cruelty. She eventually died in Canada after enduring many tortures by the French priests in their vein endeavors to convert her from the Puritan faith to the Roman Catholic religion." I descend from Hester and Benoni's son, Benjamin Jones who survived the massacre and married Patience Evarts. |
