John Ingram. The earliest evidence of the history of this illustrious family is obtained from family annals, kept from generation to generation and handed down from father to son. About the year 1680 Sir Nedom Ingram appears as a promi- nent citizen of Worcestershire, England. He was pure Scotch blood. and belonged to that sturdy, old and houored historical religious sect called "The Waldenses." An active advocate of the Protestant reformation, he was among those who (at that time) courageously encouraged, both in word and deed, the dissemination of that light which was first manifested under "Crammer's" preaching, he who has been aptly styled "The Morning Star of the Reformation." Sir Nedom Ingram, it seems, was twice married, and had four sons, two by his first wife, Emanuel and Joseph Ingram, and by his second wife, Nedom and Thomas Ingram. At a later day, about the beginning of the seventeenth century, Joseph and Thomas emi- grated to the colony of North Carolina, in North America, settling first near Raleigh. Joseph In- gram is reported as marrying a Miss Rains, and had several children, among whom where two boys named Nedom and Shadrach Ingram. In time both married, and Shadrach Ingram had four chil- dren: Nedom, Joseph and Shadrach, and one girl, Elizabeth Ingram. Shadrach Ingram, who was the grandfather of John Ingram, the subject of this sketch, was born in Edgecombe County, N. C.,

about the year 1767, and married Miss Elizabeth De Loche, who was also born in the same county in the year 1765. Her ancestors emigrated from France about the year 1590, to escape Catholic persecution, and settled in the colony of Virginia. After Shadrach Ingram's marriage, he settled down to farming with slave labor in that county, his good old father having left him, and all his other children, a moderate competency. Soon after the beginning of the present century, he moved to the Territory of Tennessee, and located near Leb- anon, in Wilson County, where he continued farm- ing on an extensive scale for that day and time. He served faithfully through the War of 1812 against Great Britain. Some time between 1830 and 1834, he (Shadrach Ingram), like many other good-hearted, but unfortunate men, became the se- curity of a friend, and the result was financial ruin. All his little fortune was swept away, leav- ing him and his family almost homeless and pen- niless. Soon after, leaving Wilson County, Tenn., he moved to Washington County, Ark., in 1836 or 1837, where he again opened a farm and did the best he could, though in the latter years of his life he and his good wife were cared for by their young- est son, Shadrach Ingram, Jr., until their death, which occurred between the years 1855 and 1859. A true and noble man, sincere and honest, none ever lived who loved his wife and children more devotedly and affectionately. Although his ances- tors were Scotch and he was a native American, his love for the old land, as well as an ardent and devoted advocacy of educational and religious training, were among the most prominent traits of his character. He had eight children, four boys and four girls. All of them are now deceased, ex- cept three: Shadrach, Dilley (Sherry) and Will- iam Ingram (the father of John Ingram). William Ingram was born near Lebanon, Tenn., March 16, 1815, and remained with his father until seventeen years of age, when he went to the State of Illinois, near Carrollton, where, in his eighteenth year, he became a member of the church (Old School Bap- tist). There he also met and married Miss Eliz- abeth A. Pearson, of Puritan stock, March 6, 1833. She was born April 17, 1817, in Gibson

County, Ind. Early in the September following their union they started for the Territory of Arkan- sas, arriving at Fayetteville in October, and settling near that (then) small village, where Mr. Ingram commenced farming and preaching. Arkansas was then a wild and dreary wilderness, and when he went out to preach he could do no better than some of his earliest predecessors, go out without scrip or purse, because wild meat and honey were plenty, I and both proved an acceptable diet in those days. On the night of November 10, 1833, Mr. Ingram and wife went out on the mountain (four miles from town) to sit up with old Uncle Johnnie Miller, who was quite ill, some eight or ten persons also being present. During their night watch, and about 2 o'clock A. M., on the morning of the 11th, the whole heavens were singularly a-light by an immense blaze, which, upon discovery, was found to proceed from a great meteoric shower; this oc- casion of "the falling stars" has ever been a mat- ter of historical comment. In their extreme anxiety many kneeled and prayed to God to preserve them from a burning world, though others, and the more curious, watched the proceeding until its close. Rev. Mr. Ingram and his wife are both living and well, still residing near Fayetteville, at the age of seventy-four. He is as regular in his devotions to the ministry and the service of his Divine Master, as he was in starting out fifty-five or fifty-six years ago, and indeed more so, the trust which he once had having been found by experience to be the only sure dependence, the beauty of which increases with years. Mr. and Mrs. Ingram are the parents of seven children, four boys and three girls: Mrs. Mary Davis (the eldest, living in Washington County), John (subject of this memoir, in Little Rock), Miss Elizabeth A. (died in 1864), Jones P. (a successful farmer near Waveland, in Yell County), Miss Irena (lives with her respected father and mother), Sandy O. Ingram (also a farmer in Washington County) and Albert J. In- gram (the youngest). The parents reside on the family homestead, and Albert J. is a successful farmer, well-to do, and it is under his roof that the old people (his parents) and his youngest sister find a home of cheerful welcome, loving care, and

all the needed comforts in their declining years. His father, now seventy-four years old, whose min- istry runs back to his eighteenth or nineteenth year, is one whose life has been well spent, like Samuel of old, a servant of the most high God. Not only may he look back upon a life well spent in his efforts to call others to repentance, but he can and does sincerely enjoy the proudest heritage of all mankind, that of knowing that his ances- tors, for several centuries back, have been promi- nent in supplying servants and soldiers for the Cross of Christ. John Ingram, son of Rev. Will- iam Ingram, was born near Fayetteville, Ark., May 3, 1836. He remained with his father on the farm and attended the schools of the county, until about fifteen years old, after which he was em- ployed in the circuit clerk's office, under Presley R. Smith, who was a native of Fayetteville, Tenn. Remaining there and also attending school at the Arkansas College (then under the superintendence of Rev. Robert Graham, president) for some time, he subsequently taught a country school about one year, and at the end of that period was tendered and accepted a clerkship in the large and extensive wholesale and retail dry goods and grocery house of Wallace Ward & Co. At the time of this offer to him, the firm name was Ward & Southmayd, Van Buren, Ark. The year 1861 still found him at this place, but he soon left it to enter the service of his native State, in the great contest for constitutional liberty. In eight or ten months the troops were transferred to the Confederate cause, which cause he served faithfully until the last of May, 1865, when he was paroled with others by Gen. Canby. He arrived here in June, 1865, and has made this his place of residence ever since. Soon after his arrival Mr. Ingram was married to Mrs. E. A. Broughton (formerly Miss Calhoun), who had one child, Mollie Broughton; the latter married Col. A. S. Fowler, a prominent citizen and highly cult- ured gentleman of this city, who is doing a most extensive and profitable life-insurance business. Mr. Ingram has three children: Sue Ayliff, Char- ley Calhoun and Carrie Eugenia.

Roscoe Greene Jennings, M. D., of Little Rock, Ark., was born in Leeds, then Kennebec,

now Androscoggin County, Me., June 11, 1833, of English ancestry, who settled in Salem, Mass., in the early Colonial period. His great-grand- father. who was a man of wealth, held an office under King George III at the breaking out of the Revolutionary War. and from this circumstance, probably. connected with his reverence for royalty through his early training, he became an ardent advocate and follower of the fortunes of the crown of England. In the struggle of the American Colonies for their independence, his lands and property were confiscated, himself and family scat- tered; and, in order to preserve their lives, he and some portions of his family buried themselves in the wilderness of the eastern territory which after- ward became the State of Maine. The subject of this sketch first saw the light of day in a humble cottage on the banks of the Androscoggin River, where he was reared on a farm on which he, when quite young, worked assiduously during the sum- mer months, and attended the country school three months each winter. When he had reached his seventeenth year he had so zealously applied him- self to his studies, that he was recommended for and assumed control of the village school he had formerly attended. and as a compensation received the, then to him, magnificent sum of $14 per month and boarded himself. The success of this under- taking stimulated him to renewed efforts, and with the money he had thus earned he paid his expenses the next fall in attending school at Wayne Village, under O. O. Howard's instruction, who has since become a distinguished general in the United States army. Thus by strict economy he managed to attend the Monmouth Academy and the Kents Hill Seminary at Reedfield, Me., several terms in the fall months, by teaching school each winter following, to obtain the necessary means to enable him to pursue this periodical course of study. July 25, 1851. his father died, and this 1 event changed his plans of entering Bowdoin Col- : lege, for which he had nearly prepared himself, and which design he had ever contemplated with all the fervor and ardor of youth. Up to this date he had never traveled farther than Augusta, the capital of Maine, some twenty five miles distant,

and the adjacent towns of Hollowell and Gardner. An almost irresistible desire now took possession of him to travel and see for himself how the peo- ple and the country looked in other States. He therefore induced his elder brother, Florus, to loan him $100 (about the amount due him from his father's estate), the biggest sum of money he ever had in his pocket, or had ever handled. He, in company with a young companion, who had had some experience in traveling, and who had been to New York City previously, left home for Portland, where they remained a couple of days, and then went to Boston on a steam-vessel. After spending a week in Boston, they proceeded by steamer to New York City, spent two weeks in sight-seeing here and in visiting the first World's Fair in America. The Crystal Palace and its contents were wonders to him almost beyond conception. From New York he wandered into New Jersey, visited Easton, Penn., staged it over the mountains to Lamberts- ville, Boardentown, and other places of interest in that section of the State, and finally found himself in Still Valley, Warren County, with the small sum of $2.50, with no future prospect of anything to do before him. After a night of agonizing, sleepless worry and fevered rest. he determined to make an effort to secure a school. So, bright and early that morning, he tramped twenty two miles to a place called Port Golden on the Lehigh coal canal, where, after an energetic effort, he succeeded in inducing the school trustees to employ him to teach the school at this point at $100 per month. There had been no regular school taught here for several years, and he afterward learned that the trustees had given it to him with this unusually large salary, believing that he would follow the fate of all other teachers in a few days, and be thrown out of the window; as the pupils, who were hard cus- toners, and who during the summer drove the mules on the canal towpath, were denominated "canal and New York wharf rats," attended school only for devilment in winter. He easily passed the examining board for the same reason, and when he stated that he weighed 117 pounds, they all laughed and winked at each other, as much as to say, let him have his fill; it will last but

a few days. It was a ground hog case, admitting of no delay. He precipitated the inevitable strng- gle for supremacy on the second day, before they had fully organized, winning a complete victory, and made the school of over 100 pupils a grand success, ending it after four months' work and ex- haustion of the school's surplus finances. It was while engaged in this school that he determined on the profession of medicine as his future career, and he accordingly commenced the study under Dr. William Cole, a most estimable gentleman, whose special kindness did much toward induc- ing this course. Closing his school, Mr. Jennings returned to Maine and entered the office of Dr. Alonzo Garcelon, of Lewiston, becoming a mem- ber of his family, with whom he remained the bal- ance of his pupilage, attending his first course of lectures at Dartmouth Medical College, Hanover, N. H., and two other courses at the Medical School of Maine, from which institution he graduated with honor in June, 1856. Very soon after grad- nating. Dr. Jennings determined to follow Gree- ley's injunction and "Go West." He accordingly gathered his little effects together, and a few days thereafter was again in the "Hub City." He had formed no positive objective point to go to, but was inclined to turn to the then Territory of Kansas. While stopping at the American House, Boston, he was approached by a person who represented himself as an agent of a large emigrant company, who were going to Kansas to settle there, in the interest of anti-slavery. He was offered a fine repeating rifle, accoutrements, ammunitions, etc., and a free railroad ticket to Leavenworth. This offer seemed so extraordinary to Dr. Jennings, and possessing very limited means, he did not feel as though he should decline it without a better and fuller understanding of the sub-strata object and principle involved in so subtle a proposition. The farther he investigated and the more he saw, he became convinced that to accept this offer with all the binding restrictions encircling it, he must re- renounce his independence and political manhood forever. Up to this period of his life he had paid very little attention to politics, and did not con- sider that he had received that amount of educa-

tion in this, to him, comparatively unknown wild- erness, as far as he knew anything of the economic and problemic political doctrines. In local politics he had voted just as he felt disposed to favor the candidates, wholly without regard to the party they represented. He therefore followed out the design previously formed, and went to Albany, N. Y., where, by accident, he met a distant relative he had never seen before-a Mr. Robert Jennings- with whom he remained a week, enjoying the hospitalities of his relative, a rich pork-packer. From here he went to Buffalo, and was also very agreeably entertained by John A. Pitts, the great threshing machine manufacturer, who had mar- ried a sister of Robert. Thence to Niagara Falls, where he spent another week contemplating the beauties of this wonderful cascade; thence through Canada to Detroit, where he met other distant rela- tives, nephews of the Albany Robert-Mr. William H. and Ward H. Jennings-the former a resident of Rochester. and the latter of Lapeer, Mich. Here he was prevailed upon to go to Lapeer and prac. tice his profession. He did so, and remained there the balance of the year 1886 and nearly all of 1887. Dr. Jennings soon secured a very good practice in Lapeer and the new and fertile country around it. Here he met Gen. L. Cass, and had the pleas- ure of dining with him on several important occa sions. He also formed the personal acquaintance of several other inviduals, who afterward rose to marked distinction, politically, and through other channels, viz. : Zach. Chandler, Moses Wisner, Col. A. C. Baldwin and others. While in Michigan he formed the acquaintance of many of the after- ward celebrities of the two, yes, all political par- ties, viz. : John C. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, W. H. Seward, of Albany, N. Y., and many other political speakers, who visited Pontiac and Detroit during the memorable canvass of this period. Al- though his practice was rapidly increasing in La- peer, and he was surrounded with every prospective encouragement for advancement in his profession, yet he still yearned for other scenes and surround- ings; and accordingly, late in December, 1887, he concluded to go south, and so "pulled up stakes" and went to Chicago. Here he met Dr. A. S. Frye,

with whom he had studied medicine and attended lectures together, a bosom friend and companion, a brother of Senator W. P. Frye, of Maine. They held a regular reunion for a few days, when, bid- ding him good-by, Dr. Jennings went direct to Cairo, Ill .. over the Illinois Central Railroad, and took passage on the Great Republic, a magnificent Mississippi River steamboat, for New Orleans, La. This journey seemed enchantment itself. All was new; boat, people, everything he saw seemed won- derful and picturesque in the extreme, and none less to him than the peculiarities of the negroes, or colored people. The great majestic river seemed alive with all sorts and conditions of boats and barges. and scarcely half an hour would elapse without passing or meeting some craft or other, and at night, the beauty of the spectacle seemed a thousand times enhanced and deepened; so much so, that sleep was out of the question, until the eye and ear were satiated, and nature had become wearied with this grand and ever changing vision. Such was the impression made upon the Doctor, that. although years, long, weary, eventful years have since passed, the vision has never faded. The commerce and travel of this mighty river were then the pride and glory of the people everywhere in the South. and the ties that this character of social travel occasionally formed became often as lasting as the lives of the parties who were thus limitedly thrown together. At the Crescent City, the Doctor again met a distant relative, Capt. Lote Jennings, whom he had never met before, and other friends who soon seemed like old acquaintances. Remaining here a few days, he embarked on a steamboat for Camden, Ark., and thence by stage to Washington, where his eldest brother, Hon. Or- ville Jennings, resided. Here he at once entered upon the practice of his profession by forming a co-partnership with Dr. Benjamin P. Jett, an old and highly respected physician of this place. In 1860 Dr. Jennings purchased Dr. Jett's drug store, and ran it in connection with his practice until he disposed of it and entered the Confederate army, as surgeon of the Twelfth Arkansas Regiment, Col. E. W. Gantt commanding, to which he had been appointed and duly commissioned. This regiment

472

was organized at Arkadelphia, and after being in camp at this place for about a month, moved from there to Little Rock, thence to Des Arc, and there took transportation boats for Memphis. In march- ing through Little Rock, Dr. Jennings was so much pleased with the place that he immediately wrote his brother, that should he he so fortunate as to survive the struggle then commencing. he should certainly go there to live the remainder of his life. The regiment was encamped throughont October, 1861, on the Raleigh road, about three miles from the city of Memphis, where it suffered immensely from measles; 950 out of about 1,100 men had this disease. On November 1, the regi- ! ment was sent to Columbus, Ky., arriving there a few days only previous to the battle of Belmont. In December following, it was transferred to New Madrid, Mo., where it remained throughout the winter of 1861-62. In March following, the fort at this place was captured by Gen. John Pope's army, the regiment escaping to the Kentucky and Tennessee side of the Mississippi River. The night of the evacuation, Dr. Jennings was ordered to accompany all the sick and wounded men at the fort by steamboat to Memphis, turn them over to the post-surgeon there, and return to his command, if possible, after discharging this duty. The boat succeeded in passing Point Pleasant, twelve miles below, without observation, where a Federal battery had been stationed to prevent the escape of the Confederate forces, and arrived at Memphis with 150 odd sick, wounded and disabled. Here Dr. Jennings found the hospital excessively crowded, and without any room for others. He was ac- cordingly ordered to proceed with his boatload of sick, wounded and disabled men, and also take charge of another steamboat, with about the same number of sick. to accompany him, and to pro- ceed to Helena, Ark., and thence to Vicksburg, and establish Confederate hospitals there, remove the sick to them, employ civil physicians and sur. geons to attend them, and on completion of this duty to return to his command. This duty was performed as rapidly as possible, notwithstanding that the authorities at Vicksburg had not made the least preparation for their reception and care.

Dr. Jennings then returned to Memphis by rail, and, as soon as possible, to his regiment on a gun- boat from Memphis, where he arrived just in time to participate in the abandonment of Island No. 10, and the capture of his regiment, or almost the whole of it. April 7, 1862, at Tiptonville, near the mouth of the Obion River, Dr. Jennings was taken with the balance of the command, but in the darkness of the night got separated and wandered about in the woods nearly two weeks before he could effect his escape. He got hold of a Butter- nut suit of clothes, which he put on over his uni- form, and visited the Federal camp going on board a gunboat as a "swamp native;" his un- kempt appearance from scudding under bare poles and sleeping in the bottoms, served greatly to strengthen this personated individual. He found an old boat one day, and thought he could calk up its numerous cracks and crevices, so that a dark night he could pass the Federal fleet, and make his way in this frail craft down the " Father of Wa- ters." He worked faithfully on the old hoat with such implements at his command, viz. : an old knife and an old shirt, and thought he had suc- ceeded admirably, but had never tested it for want of opportunity and limited time. So the first dark night he managed to drag it to the edge of the water, the river then heing excessively full with overflowed banks, and with an old board rudely shaped as a paddle, he wormed his way through the thicket of willows that skirted its border, and boldly struck out into the deep, dark waters of this mighty river. Nothing could be seen but the dis- tant lights of the great fleet of boats comprising the Federal navy of conquest, and to pass them the frail little craft, Dr. Jennings alone commanded, must hng the opposite or Missouri shore closely, or it would be observed and brought to. He struck the current, and sensibly felt the little craft spin and whirl like a kite played in the wind, but the situation and the novelty of the undertaking gave zeal and courage to the occasion. It was momentary, for a change in the motion of the boat became painfully perceptible, and conveyed an im- pression of weight, as though it would overturn at once with difficulty of maintenance of equilibrium.

His feet and legs felt wet and cold, and putting down his hand he found the skiff was full of water, and liable to founder in a moment. The head of the skiff was now turned toward the shore it had left but a few minutes before, and propelled with all the energy human skill could exert; the effort was successful, and in a moment, none too soon, the rapidly sinking boat reached the willows again, and as luck would have it, the side of a hugh forked tree anchored to the shore was felt, and in a moment more Dr. Jennings was straddle of it, and soon had his boat drawn partially upon it, where wet, weary, and completely exhausted, he patiently waited the first gleam of the dawn of day, to see how to extricate himself from the unfortunate dilemma he now found himself in. Relief came in time, and with light he found his way back to firm land again. Nothing daunted by this failure, he the next day made an arrange- ment with a fisherman to carry him across Red- foot Lake in his skiff, giving him a $10 greenback note, all the money he had except a few Confeder- ate notes. The lake was over ten miles wide at this point. The next morning early they started, pushing away from the Federal picket gradually, until they got behind some cypress treetops, when they struck out through the various channels among the cypress trees, great numbers of which were standing, and presenting a truly wonderful appearance with their boughs extended, some places way above the water, and at others in it. This lake was the result of several earthquakes, and an actual volcanic eruption in the Mississippi River on the New Madrid side, when a lake south of this point was raised up, and a cypress swamp on the Tennessee side sank down correspondingly, and became known afterward as Redfoot Lake, with these trees left standing at varying heights, with their dead branches presenting a weird and ghostly appearance; and to add to this unnatural scenery they came upon two rafts, on which two or three decomposing dead bodies of soldiers, who had endeavored to escape over this same route, were lying, and in the dead branches of the cy- presses were quite a number of vultures who had been feasting upon them. The sight was sicken-
