Author: Mark Andrew Davis

David Ingraham was born on 8 March 1746 or 1747 in Lebanon, Connecticut, the son of Jared and Mary (Taylor) Ingraham.

During the American Revolution, David Ingraham volunteered at Wheatleigh, Massachusetts as a Corporal on September 1776 in the Company of Captain Benjamin Bonney, Regiment of Colonel Samuel Brewer. They marched from Massachusetts to Ticonderoga.

In July of 1777, from Whealtleigh, he volunteered as a Sergeant in the Company of Captain Samuel White of Colonel Ezra May's Regiment. They marched to the Hudson River opposite Albany. They marched from there to Lansingburgh and then to Stillwater. His service in this tour expired at the end of September 1777.

Upon arriving home, he again volunteered in October 1777 in the Company of Captain Chapin, which marched to meet the army of General Burgoyne. However, his tour was cut short when sickness in his family forced him to return home. 

In July 1778, he served a four-month tour in the Company of Captain Daniel or Asahel Pomeroy of General Danielson’s Brigade, where they marched to Albany and joined other forces. When his time expired, he returned home.

On 9 May 1780 at Worthington, Massachusetts, he was married to Lydia Miller, born on 15 October 1753 at Middletown, Connecticut. The known children of the couple were: Lydia, born 5 December 1784 (wife of Josiah Chatfield); Ora, about 1787 (wife of Peter Cross); Seymour, born about 1782; Alfred, born 1792. The names of any other their children are unproven.

The family lived in Worthington, Massachusetts, until about 1790, when they moved to Blandford, Massachusetts. By 1820, the family lived in Aurelius, New York, and were in Canandaigua when David made his Pension Application in 1832.

The Patriot died on 10 January 1835, and his wife followed on 18 January 1849. Both were buried at Hunn Memorial Cemetery in Canandaigua.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
