Ireland, and they were the parents of six children: Thomas F., Michael A., Ed- ward J., John F., Ellen, Rose T., all of Westport.
(III) John Francis Coyle, son of Mich- ael (2) and Rose (Leonard) Coyle, was born in Westport, Connecticut, February 6, 1878. He was educated in the public schools. Soon after completing his edu- cation, he apprenticed himself to learn the trade of carpenter and builder. An ambitious youth, he gave strict attention to the mastering of this occupation, and for a period of fifteen years worked on various contracts and thereby gained ex- perience which has been invaluable to him. About 1915 Mr. Coyle started in business on his own account. He makes a specialty of building residences and employs six men on an average. Mr. Coyle is one of the esteemed citizens of Westport, and takes an active interest in its affairs. He is a member of the West- port Volunteer Fire Department and serves as its secretary, an office which he has held for twelve years.
Mr. Coyle married Helen McArdle, of Brooklyn, New York, and they are the parents of a son, Edward, and two daugh- ters. Rita and Eleanor Coyle.
O'SULLIVAN, John Edward, Hotel Proprietor.
There is no family in Ireland with a more honorable lineage than the O'Sul- livan family. The root of this surname is from the Irish, suil, derived from sul, meaning the eye, as the light of the body. In its early form the name was spelled O'Suileabhain, and the family is de- scended from Milesius through his oldest son, Heber. The latter was the first Milesian monarch of Ireland with his brother, Heremon, and he was slain by this brother B. C. 1698. The line de-
scends through Eoghan Mor (Owen Mor), who the historian O'Hart tells us "was a wise and politic prince and a great warrior. From him Miadhad, now May- nooth, was so called." A worthy scion of this family is John Edward O'Sullivan, proprietor of Dorlan's Shore House, Dor- lan's Point, East Norwalk, Connecticut.
(I) Daniel O'Sullivan, grandfather of John E. O'Sullivan, lived in Ireland throughout his lifetime, and there mar- ried Elizabeth Tattan. He died in 1869, and his wife in 1873.
(II) John O'Sullivan, son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Tattan) O'Sullivan, was born in what is now Queenstown, Ire- land, October 8, 1836, and died at the age of seventy-nine years. He came to Amer- ica, June 2, 1852, and for a time was in New York City, going thence to Boston, Massachusetts, where he learned the trade of shoemaker, and worked at this trade in Norwalk and New Canaan. After ten years he was appointed a member of the Norwalk Police Force by the Demo- cratic party, and for sixteen years faith- fully served in the interest of his fellow- citizens. The last few years of this pe- riod, Mr. O'Sullivan was chief of police. In his later life Mr. O'Sullivan resigned from the office of chief and engaged in the liquor business, which he followed several years, and was also the owner of a shore resort where the Norwalk Coun- try Club is now located, adjoining his son's present property. It was he who set out the trees that have since grown to give Dorlan's Point much of its at- tractiveness. In 1859 Mr. O'Sullivan married Mary Ryan, daughter of Edward Ryan, of County Tipperary, Ireland. Their children were: Elizabeth, de- ceased; John E., of further mention ; Mary, wife of Michael J. Riordan, now deceased; D. Francis, of Norwalk; Jane, wife of Hugh Donnelly. The family at-

tended St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church.
(III) John Edward O'Sullivan, son of John and Mary (Ryan) O'Sullivan, was born December 15, 1861. He was edu- cated in the public schools of Norwalk, Connecticut. After completing these courses he learned the trade of hat fin- isher, which he followed for some years, and then went to work for his father. In 1893 the latter had purchased the Dorlan's House, and the son was placed in charge of the management there. His agreeable personality and genial manners won many friends for him, and his success was assured. In 1908 his father sold the property and it was at this time that John E. O'Sullivan purchased the adjacent property, which he now owns. He has about eight acres of beautiful shore prop- erty and the present Dorlan's house and pavilion were built by him. It has a seat- ing capacity for four hundred people and is one of the most popular of the shore resorts. The greater part of Mr. O'Sul- livan's time is required in his business, but at the same time he is alert to the issues of the day and takes a keen inter- est in all public matters. Fraternally he is a member of the Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of Elks.
Mr. O'Sullivan married Margaret Ber- nard, daughter of Thomas Bernard, and they are the parents of three children: Marguerite, John, Jean.
BALLARD, Harry A., Contractor, Builder.
Harry A. Ballard, a prominent contrac- tor and builder of Stamford, Connecti- cut, is a scion of a family which took root in America with the colonization of New England. The surname is one of the oldest in English records, and to-day there are descendants of the immigrant
settled in practically every New England State.
The ancestor of the family was William Ballard, who was born in 1603, and died in Andover, Massachusetts, July 10, 1689. He came to America from England in 1635 in the "James," was one of the earl- iest settlers of Andover, and was admit- ted a freeman there, May 2, 1638.
Harry A. Ballard was born in Port Chester, New York, in 1857, and when he was about a year old was brought by his parents to live in Stamford, Connecticut. There he attended the public schools, and soon after completing his courses went to work for the Stamford National Bank, remaining for five years. The building business conducted by the father of Mr. Ballard had grown and expanded to such an extent that it was necessary to dis- tribute the responsibility. In order that he would be ready to assume the same at the proper time, Mr. Ballard resigned from the banking business and learned the trade of mason. Upon the death of his father, he succeeded to his interests and has since been engaged in contract- ing and building work. It is in Stamford and vicinity that the major portion of the work is carried on and a large number of men are employed on an average. About three years ago, Mr. Ballard engaged in a real estate and insurance business, which he carries on in connection with his building operations and in this he has been signally successful. In politics Mr. Ballard is a Republican, and although not a seeker for office. is much interested in all public matters.
INGERSOLL, Samuel C.,
Clergyman.
The personal biography of an individual is similar to a landmark in the history of the race. If it were not for the achieve-

ments of its different members, the gene- alogy of a family would be dry reading indeed. It is the acts and deeds accom- plished by our forefathers, worthy of com- mendation, which deserve to be recorded for the benefit and emulation of their de- scendants. In the history of the Ingersoll family, herein described, the reader cannot but admire the qualities of resourcefulness and courage which enabled Alex S. Inger- soll, grandfather of Samuel C. Ingersoll, to brave the unsettled regions of Connecticut and there establish his home. Simeon S. Ingersoll, his son, attained a prominent and leading place among the men of this country through his inventive genius, and is without doubt the first man to invent a vehicle drawn by power in the fifties (1856). Rev. Samuel C. Ingersoll, his son, and the present scion of this family, is nobly doing his share in making the career and history of the family one to be proud of in the retrospect.
(I) Alex S. Ingersoll, a native of Eng- land, resided most of his life in Stanwich, Fairfield county, Connecticut. He mar- ried Caroline Carll, and they were the par- ents of Simeon S., of further mention.
(II) Simeon S. Ingersoll, son of Alex S. and Caroline (Carll) Ingersoll, was born in October, 1818, in Stanwich, Con- necticut, and died July 28, 1894. He re- ceived advantages similar to the youth of his native town, and was accustomed to work about the paternal farm. Possessed of wonderful natural mechanical ability, he was engaged in the construction of a small steamboat when only twelve years of age. This boat ran successfully, the boiler used in it being a large iron pot. The first im- portant invention of Mr. Ingersoll was a wedge and plug cutting machine. Ship builders and caulkers had prior to that time always cut their wooden plugs and wedges by hand, and this machine not only did the work but counted the product
automatically. The building of iron steamships on a large scale began soon after that, which took away the need of the invention and its product. For some time after this Mr. Ingersoll engaged in market gardening, and while occupied with these duties his mechanical instinct was ever at work. He invented a spring balance scale, the first of its kind, which was adjustable, so that when the pan was placed on the scale it could be set to reg- ister zero. This type of scale is still widely used. His thoughts were not con- fined to one line of work, however. He designed an automatic gate latch, and a gun to throw a line to a roof so that in case of fire people could lower themselves in safety. He was one of the first to un- dertake the production of a self-propelling vehicle. He believed that steam could be used in propelling vehicles on the road. In the early fifties he began to construct such a carriage. He used a copper boiler hung in front of the seat, where he could easily manage it. He made the body him- self, just a plain box seat in which he carried his fuel (charcoal). His cylinders were one and one-half inches in diameter and the piston stroke was six inches. He used this principle of leverage to control high and low speed, and he drove it into Stamford, Connecticut, once, and Mr. Swartout, the warden, told him he must keep away from the town as the noise of his car frightened the horses and cattle, and the boiler might burst and kill some- body. However, Mr. Ingersoll remained long enough to make the following speech : "Gentlemen, some of you will live long enough to see these machines as common as a horse and wagon, but they may be driven by some other power than steam."
Subsequently, Mr. Ingersoll became a resident of Brooklyn, New York, and there he perfected his greatest invention,
413
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
which still bears his name, the Ingersoll & Rand Steam Rock Drill, and it was manufactured under the name of The Ingersoll & Rand Steam Rock Drill Com- pany. The Rand Drill, having several little devices added, made it complete and it never was improved upon. The drill was patented in all countries where a patent was obtainable. Joshua D. Miner, of New York City, who was then the largest contractor in New York City, had a half interest in the patent, and the drills were used the world over. Said Miner was unfortunate in not putting in writing agreements made, being of a too trustful disposition to require agreements in writing, and being high-spirited when he believed he was not being squarely dealt with, he sold his half interest in the pat- ents for five notes for $1,100 each to Cal- lingworth & Sergeant, machine manufac- turers. Mr. Ingersoll then removed to Glen- brook, a suburb of Stamford, and there he perfected a drill of a different design using compressed air, also a hand drill. Next he designed an anti-friction bearing, something on the order of the modern roller bearing. This was especially adapted to use on steamboats, and he equipped several small steamboats with the device, and the steamer "City of Chi- cago" was to have it applied, but he never lived to see it developed. Just before his death Mr. Ingersoll was working on plans for a flying machine.
Mr. Ingersoll married Sarah B. Smith, of Greenwich, and they were the parents of eleven children, seven of whom grew to maturity. They were : Alvah S., Oliver S., Samuel C., Hannah, Caroline, George, Alex. Mr. Ingersoll and his wife were active members of the church. Mr. Inger- soll was naturally gifted in music, a first class violinist, and was the leader of the Methodist Episcopal church choir, while Mrs. Ingersoll played the organ. They
were among the most respected and prom- inent members of the congregation, and in civil life were looked upon as ideal citizens.
(III) Samuel C. Ingersoll, son of Simeon S. and Sarah B. (Smith) Ingersoll, was born December 3, 1844, in Astoria, New York. His education was obtained in the district schools of Stanwich Farms, Connecticut, and after completing the courses there he remained on the home farm until the outbreak of the Civil War. He was not eighteen years of age when he enlisted at Port Chester in Yate's Inde- pendent Rifle Company, which was later put in the Ist Virginia Regiment, and finally through losses the company was cut down in numbers and was put in the 3rd Maryland Regiment. Mr. Ingersoll was more than two years in active serv- ice. He was wounded, September 17, 1862, at the battle of Antietam, Maryland, and returned home on two crutches with his left leg fractured. After his recovery he enlisted in the 20th New York Inde- pendent Battery, and was stationed at Governor's Island until the close of the war. Subsequently he worked for In- gersoll & Cox, who moved from Stamford to a suburb called Dumping Pond, and finally took over the business and three patents of his father, viz., a friction drill, a blacksmith drill, and a self-dumping well curb. Samuel C. Ingersoll soon moved to Stamford, and through his suc- cessful management the business was placed in a prosperous condition and con- tinued until 1872. In this year Mr. In- gersoll embarked in the milling business with the purchase on May 10 of that year of five bags of corn and ten bags of oats. He began to grind with a small mill, and from this humble beginning a large busi- ness was developed. Unfortunately, in 1908, the business was entirely wiped out by fire which caused him to lose at least
414
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
$50,000. The upbuilding of his business to the successful point was the result of indefatigable labor, sound business judg- ment and the most unswerving loyalty to the highest standards of honesty in every relation of life. These qualities not only won for Mr. Ingersoll success in business, but they drew to him a host of loyal friends who stood by him in his hour of overwhelming disaster. Offers of help came from every side, and nothing daunted by a blow that in one fell swoop had wiped out the accumulations of a lifetime of arduous labor, he set about to rebuild and the following spring saw a new building completed. For a time back in 1881 he had also operated a bakery, employing twenty men. After this was given up Mr. Ingersoll took over a plant for the manufacture of curled hair, and this busi- ness gave employment to thirty to forty men and women, and at the same time, in addition to the milling business, he handled hay and straw on a large scale. Since the fire Mr. Ingersoll has confined his merchandising to lines of grain and feed.
As a boy he joined the Congregational church in Stanwich, later transferring his membership to the Methodist Episcopal church. It was not long before he be- came a class leader, and his enthusiasm for religious work grew, until in 1883 he began to hold holiness meetings in his own home, the first ever held in Stamford. At first only a few who were anxious to experience a deeper religious life attended, but the class rapidly grew in numbers until the attendance averaged fifty to
sixty members. Soon Mr. Ingersoll was called upon to conduct evangelistic and revival services in various places, and notwithstanding that he gave close at- tention to his business every day he never refused a call to conduct meetings. Suc- cess attended his efforts everywhere, and in 1891 he was ordained a minister of the Pentecostal Church. For many years he was a member of the educational board of the Pentecostal Collegiate Institute in North Scituate, Rhode Island. He was pastor of his denomination in Stamford until April, 1918. This church was the outgrowth of a mission opened by himself and Mrs. Ingersoll at their own expense. The church began with a membership of eleven and grew in numbers to forty peo- ple who are willing to forego every form of worldiness and devote themselves wholly to Christian work, not of course giving up their secular employment.
Mr. Ingersoll married, August 12, 1867, Mary Amelia Rich, daughter of Daniel Rich, of Dumping Pond, near Stamford. Mrs. Ingersoll died July 12, 1919, in her seventy-second year. They were the par- ents of six children, four of whom grew to maturity. They are: I. Sarah Bet- sey, the wife of Edwin Cable and the mother of Howard, Arthur, Chester, Cor- nelia, Edna, and Walter Cable. 2. Charles S. 3. Elizabeth, married Joseph Armstrong, and has nine children. 4. Su- san Roxanna, died at the age of twelve. 5. Harry F. 6. Florence, wife of Alonzo Reissner, of Canada. Mrs. Reissner is an accomplished pianist and taught for quite a while until she married.
