This genealogy and history of the Ingalls family in America, shows nine generations of the descendants of Edmund and Ann Ingalls, who settled at Lynn, MA in 1629. His father was Robert, his grandfather was Henry, of Lincolnshire, England. It was with his brother, Francis, and four others that Edmund settled in Lynn. His name was found in the town records showing he was a prominent citizen. In 1648 while traveling to Boston on Horseback, he drowned in the Saugus River due to a defective bridge. The histories of the early settlers of the country fully describe the hardships they experienced. We also see Revolutionary Rolls of NH, MA, and CT., some with the name spelled as Ingells, and an index of names and of places.
