Data for a Memoir of Thomas Ingles
From his son's autobiographical notes S11:
My Father Thomas Ingles, son of William and Mary Ingles, was born in Virginia, in the year 1751, and was a prisoner with the Shawnee Indians from about 3 1/2 years of age until nearly seventeen years old. - A prisoner nearly 13 years. He was educated at Charlottesville, Va., and became aquainted with Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe and a host of old Virginia Worthies.
Note: Something is wrong with this entry and it may be that Jane Wickers was married to Thomas Jr. not Thomas Sr. More research is needed. ~ user:cthrnvl
Note: Thomas English was a Revolutionary War soldier, but he is NOT the same person as Thomas Ingles/Ingalls/Inglish... His mother was not Mary Draper Ingles, and he was probably not captured by the Shawnee... this record needs much revision.

Thomas Ingles (aka English or Inglish), was held captive by Indians 13 years - See story under his Mother, Mary Draper Ingles. In an event reminiscent of his own capture by Indians as a child, Thoms Ingles' own family was attacked by Shawnee Indians in 1782. In the ensuing rescue two of his children were killed and wife, Eleanor, tomahawked so severely that a surgeon removed 13 pieces of skull from her head. Shortly after this occurrence Thomas Ingles, his wife, and infant daughter (Rhoda), moved to Tennessee and settled in succession on the Watauga River at Mossy Creek, and at Fort Knox, now Knoxville. There his daughter, Rhoda, who escaped death, grew up and married Patrick Campbell. Subsequent to the marriage of his daughter in 1800, Thomas Ingles moved
