      Notes on James Ingels, Jr. from http://www.shawhan.com/families/ingelsj.rtf

      James Ingels, Sr. received a Patent Grant of 220 acres of land September 13, 1754 from the proprietors of Pennsylvania. On April 2, 1770, James Ingels, Sr. deeded to James Ingels, Jr. of Coventry and Union Townships, Berke and Chester Counties, Pa. 200 acres of land along the Skulkill, a large part of the same land of the Patent Grant of 1754, In the deed James Ingels, Jr. assumed certain obligations to his mother, Ruth Harmer Ingels, to his sister, Ruth, and to his brother, John, when John became of age. ("Ingels Family" by Kate Ingels Peak and Margaret Ingels, 1945. This 22 page pamphlet was copied from the INGLES drawer, John Fox, Jr., Library, Paris, Kentucky, June 2000, by Robert E. Francis.)

      James served as a private second class in Captain Lambert Wilmore's Company of the Fourth Battalion, Philadelphia Militia (Pennsylvania Archives, Sixth Series, Vol. 1, p. 293).

      James Ingels, Jr. and family left Pennsylvania in 1782 and there is a story that enroute to Kentucky James Ingels contracted with a gunsmith in Maysville, Kentucky to make him a gun and take his pay in bacon when it could be procured. The pioneer went on with his family, locating at Grant's Station near Bryant' Station. He finally raised the necessary bacon and sent a hired boy with it to Maysville to make the exchange. Several years later he had a letter from the one he had entrusted with this mission in which he learned that the hired boy, instead of going to Maysville, had wandered into Ohio, had bought a home, and was doing well. The former hired boy offered to pay the Kentucky pioneer for his bacon, horse and cart if he could go to Ohio but he never went. James Ingels, Jr. built a rock house at Grant's Station for his home. (Refer to History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & County, Chicago, 1882, p. 492).
