Notes:

JAMES W. INGELS, retired; P. O. Paris. In the year 1782, James Ingels, the grandfather of the James W., left Pennsylvania, and, with his family bent his steps toward Kentucky, the country, then, as the reader can well imagine, was anything but promising or inviting, but the wayfaring man was seeking a home for himself and family, and was prepared to meet hardships, in passing through Maysville, having no gun, he contracted with a gunsmith there to make him one and take his pay in bacon when it could be procured; Mr. Ingels came on with his family, locating at Grant's Station, near Bryant's Station, Mr. Ingels finally raised the necessary amount of bacon and sent a hired boy with it to Maysville to make the exchange; strange to say, the boy, horse and cart, bacon and gun were never heard from until several years later, when Mr. Ingels received a letter from the boy, then a grown-up man, saying that he had wandered off into Ohio instead of going to Maysville, had bought him a home and was doing well, and if he (Mr. Ingels) would come there he would pay him for his bacon, horse and cart, etc., Mr. Ingels never went. The old pioneer died on the place he settled in 1803, he had five sons and four daughters born to him, Joseph the oldest, married Mrs. Bryant, a niece of Daniel Boone; James settled on the homestead; Thomas and John settled in Indiana; Edith married Welson Hunt, and located in Missouri; Nellie became the wife of Mr. Victor, and settled in Nicholas County; Boone Ingels, the father of our subject, was born at Grant's Station, 1781, and raised a farmer until seventeen, when his father died, in 1808 he came to Paris, where he carried on the hatter's trade until his death in 1837, when 53 years of age, he raised a family of nine children, eight sons and one daughter. Our subject was raised to the business his father prosecuted, after going for him to St. Louis to buy furs, in 1832 he went to Jacksonville, Ills., where he spent two years in business with Forsythe & Butler, he returned in 1834; the year following he married Amanda Crose, a native of this county, daughter of Levi Crose. Mrs. Ingels died 1855, having borne him nine children; Benjamin, Wilson, Boone, Ella, Belle and George were the number raised. In 1857, Mr. Ingels married Mary Davis, a native of this place, daughter of George and Mary (McClintock) Davis, both natives of Virginia; he born 1791, she, two years later. Mr. and Mrs. Ingels have one daughter, Lizzie. Mr. Ingels has been a successful man in business; he owned 4,000 acres of land at one time, which he sold at a large advance; for twenty-five years he had charge of the paupers in this county. Mr. Ingels has been retired from business several years, and is living in retirement, and enjoying the fruits of his labor in quiet and happiness; has been a member of the Christian Church over forty years.
