• Notes

  Lieutenant George Ingersoll, Richard's eldest son, was born in England in 1618, and consequently was eleven years of age when he arrived in America. He is first heard of as one of the selectmen of Gloucester. Afterwards he removed to Falmouth, Maine (now known as Portland), and in 1658 was a representative from that town. His military talents and tastes procured for him the command of the military company raised in Falmouth for the defense of the colonists against the Indians. With this company he fought through the first Indian war and won much renown in his skirmishes and combats with the Indians. In 1683 and 85 he was a representative to the General Assembly. Before the second Indian war he returned to Salem where he died in 1694.
