52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2017 WEEK 52: EDMUND INGALLS OF LYNN, MA.

Edmund Ingalls is both  my 10x great grandfather AND my 8x great grandfather. The first is through his daughter Elizabeth, who married the Rev. Francis Dane; the second is through his son Henry, on the other side of Dad's family. Here's what William Richard Cutter has to say about Edmund Ingalls:

(I) Edmund Ingalls, immigrant ancestor, was son of Robert and grandson- of Henry Ingalls, and was born at Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, England, about 1598. He came to Salem, Massachusetts, in Governor Endicott's company in 1629, and with his brother Francis and four others settled in Lynn, where they were the first settlers. His name is found often on the records of the town, and he was a promnent citizen. Once he was fined "for bringing home sticks in both his arms on the Sabbath day." In March, 1648, while travelling to Boston on horseback, he was drowned in the Saugus river owing to a defective bridge. His will was proved September 18, 1648. He married Ann .
