Disputed Origins

The wife of Edmund Ingalls is sometimes said to be Anne Tripp, daughter of John Tripp and Isabel Moses. This is a mistake; the record of the marriage of Edmund Ingalls confirms that his wife was Annis (Ann) Telbe. Additionally, John Tripp and Isabel Moses did not have a daughter named Anne.

Previous versions of this profile gave a birth date of 17 Aug 1599, which was erroneously based on the baptism of Ann Tripp, daughter of Thomas Tripp, at St. Peter's, Barton-Upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, England, on that day.[1] That Ann Tripp appears to have died as an infant.[2]

Biography

Based on the date of her marriage, Annis Telbe was probably born in England before 1600, most likely in Lincolnshire. She married Edmund Ingalls in the church of St. Nicholas, Skirbeck, Lincolnshire on 7 June 1618. Her origin is not known. It is noted that Telbe is likely a variant of Tealby, the name of a village in Lincolnshire. No other records of people named Telbe or Tealby have been found in the Skirbeck records.[3]

The family emigrated to New England, settling in Lynn, Massachusetts. The timing of their arrival in New England is not established. The History of Lynn Mass. states that Edmund Ingalls was in Lynn by 1629, but Edmund Ingalls was church warden in Skirbeck in 1632. Threlfall suggests that the family may have emigrated the following year.[3]

Anne was still living in 1670, when she and her step-son Theophilus March deeded a barn etc. to Jonathan Kettle. [4][5]

Edmund Ingalls was baptized at St. Loedegar's Church in Wyburton, Lincolnshire, England, June 26, 1586, the son of Robert and grandson of Henry Ingalls. The family subsequently moved to Skirbeck, Lincolnshire[1]. Earlier research suggested he was born in Skirbeck[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

He may have come to Salem, Massachusetts, in 1628 with his brother Francis[2], and with Francis was among the first white men to settle in Lynn, Massachusetts[3], although baptism records in Lincolnshire for his children suggest that he may have followed Francis after 1634[6] [1]. Either way, it is certain that he was at Lynn on June 20, 1646, when he was fined for carrying wood on the Sabbath[2] [3] [6]

On June 7, 1618, he married Annis Telbe[6]. His wife was Anne, surname unknown[3] [2] [7] [8] until 1972, when evidence was found in Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, at Church of St. Nicholas. Telbe may refer to the name of a nearby village (Telby), however, a search of the records for that period reveal no clues about her origin[6].

Their children included

1. Elizabeth[3], baptized February 28, 1618[6], who married Rev. Francis Dane of Andover, and who died June 9, 1676[2] [7]
2. Robert[3], baptized July 13, 1620[6], who married Sarah Harker[2] [7]
3. Faith[3], baptized July 14, 1622[6], who married Andrew Allen [2] [7]
4. John[3], baptized May 9, 1624[6], who married Elizabeth Barrett[2] [7]
5. Sarah[3], baptized July 16, 1626[6], who married William Bitner[2] [7]
6. Samuel[3], baptized 20 January 1627/8[6], who died young
7. Henry, born in 1629/30[6], who lived in Andover[3], and married Mary Osgood and Sarah Farnham[2] [7]
8. Samuel[3], baptized 22 April 1632[6], who married Ruth Eaton[2] [7]
9. Mary[3], baptized 22 February 1634 in Sutterton, Lincolnshire[1], who married John Eaton[2] [7]
10. Joseph[3], who died young[2]

In March, 1648, while travelling to Boston on horseback, he was drowned in the Saugus River, owing to a defective bridge. His heirs recovered damages from the town.[2] [3]. According to the TAG article, he was injured while crossing the bridge, and lingered for some time before writing his will in August and dying sometime before 14 September, when his will was probated.

His will was dated August 28, 1648, and transcribed in various sources.[2] [7] The date suggests a problem with the date of his death, which occurred in March, several months prior to the date on the will. The will was accepted, however, and proved September 14, 1648, by Francis Ingalls, and April 27, 1649, by William Morton[7]. The administration documents are found in Essex County Quarterly Court Files Volume 1, leaf 104 [9] [10]

After his death on March 6, 1649, his wife sued William Flint and Anthony Needham for taking her hay. No further record for Ann Ingalls has yet been found[6]

John March of Shadwell, Stepney, Middlesex, England was a resident of Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1638.

He married first Rebecca (___) . He and wife Rebecca were admitted to the Church at Charlestown in 1642. [1]

He married second widow Anne [1] [6] (Telbe) Ingalls. [5]

John died at Charlestown on January 1, 1665. [1] [7]

In his will written January 5, 1665/6, John March left bequests to: [6] [8]

• wife Anne
• daughter Frances Buck
• son Theophilus March
• Sarah Bickner, grand daughter of wife Anne [6] [2]

His widow Anne was still living in 1670, when she and her step-son Theophilus March deeded a barn etc. to Jonathan Kettle. [5]

Notes

From The Essex Genealogist, vol. 23, pgs. 51-52 and 59.

Anna (Telbe) Ingalls was still a widow of Edmund Ingalls on 27 March 1649, when she sued William Flint and Anthony Needham for taking away her hay. Some time after this, and most certainly before the 2 October 1660 Court record revealing John March as Sarah Bickner's guardian, Anna (Telbe) Ingalls, grandmother to Sarah Bickner, married John March, as his second wife, who in his will left his wife's grandchild (and his ward) 20 shillings.

Anna (Telbe) (Ingalls) March was still alive in 1670, age about 71, if a birth year of 1599 is nearly right, according to a deed of that year "of barn etc." from Anna March and her step-son, Theophilus March to Jonathan Kettle.

From The Essex Genealogist, vol. 23, pgs. 51-52 and 59.

The Middlesex Court decided, in this 4 October 1659 distribution, that the eldest three children be disposed "to the care and government of such persons as this Court from time to time allow and approve, untill they come of age.... Pursuant to this, the Court, in a record of 2 October 1660, ordered that the widow, Martha Bickner, deliver to Thomas Goold, John Bickner's portion of his father's estate, and to John March, Sarah Bickner's portion of her father's estate. It is assumed that Thomas Goold and John March had, prior to this, been appointed by the Court as guardians to these Bickner children.

It is John March's guardianship of Sarah Bickner that eventually leads to the evidence for the Ingalls family connection. In his will of 1 January 1665[/6], proved 17 January 1665/6, John March of Charlestown made bequests to his "beloved wife Anna March," to his daughter Frances Buck, to his son Theophilus March, and also to the following:

"It[em] I give unto Sarah Bickner [,], my wives Grandchild[,] after her grandmothers decease, twenty shillings out of the halfe part of the Estate."

Research Notes

"Edmund(1) Ingalls, son of the aforesaid Robert and grandson, or perhaps great-grandson, of Henry, was born probably about 1588 at Skirbeck, Lincolnshire. On 7 June 1618 at the Church of St. Nicholas, Skirbeck, Edmund Ingalls and Annis Telbe were married. Annis is an equivalent form of Ann [also sometimes of Agnes and even Hannah] and Telbe would apparently be a variant of Tealby, the name of a village in Lincolnshire. A search of all Tealby probate records of that period in Lincolnshire reveals no clue to her origins nor are any other Tealbys noted in the Skirbeck records." [6]
