BIRTH 1733
England
DEATH 1800 (aged 66–67)
Pulaski, Pulaski County, Virginia, USA [s/b Montgomery County, Virginia]
Samuel Ingram of present day Pulaski County Virginia (Montgomery County at the time of his death) was likely born in England with an estimated birth year of 1733. He first appeared in US records in 1767 when he purchased a tract of land on Bullock Pen Ranch near present day Newbern, Va. In 1769 a survey was done for an additional tract of 210 acres near Peak Creek. In 1770 he built what was one of the earliest mills in the area. Between 1769 and 1796 he continued to add to his land holdings ending with 634 acres. This property was divided equally between two of his sons (Aaron and William) in his will written 17 Jan 1799 and recorded in Montgomery Co. Va. The appraisal of the estate was executed on 26 Aug 1801 and thus his death is estimated to be about 1800.
His wife was Anne Stewart (Stuart) who was of supposedly born in Scotland about 1740 and their marriage is estimated about 1760 in Louisa Co., Va although documentation to support this has not been found. It is unclear if they were married in England,Scotland or after they both immigrated to the US. Some accounts note that sons Jonathan and James may have been born in England. Immigration year for Samuel and Anne is unknown.
