INGRAHAM Edward Ingraham, immi- grant of this line of In- grahams, was born in Eng- land, probably in 1721, came to this country when a young man and settled in York, Maine. He died at Kittery, March 6, 1807. (See Necrology of York, Historical Deeds, Vol. 10,
Series II.) He married Lydia, daughter of Joseph Holt, of York. The records of York of that time show that he was the proprietor of the village inn, was a highly respected citi- zen, and took an interest in all that pertained to the welfare of the town. He was a man of quiet and retiring manners and was promi- nent in the affairs of the village church. Chil- dren : I. Elizabeth, born August 6, 1743. 2. Edward, January 1, 1746. 3. Lydia, March 28, 1749. 4. Joseph Holt, February 10, 1752. 5. Mary, May 14, 1755. 6. Ruth, October 22, 1758. 7. William, September 25, 1761.
(II) Joseph Holt, son of Edward and Ly- dia (Holt) Ingraham, was born in York, Feb- ruary 10, 1752, and his early youth was spent in his native town. In 1768, when only six- teen years of age, he moved to Portland and established himself in the silversmith's trade. By his industry and thrift he built up a large business, but reverses followed through no fault of his. He lived in a troublous time, for no sooner did he move to Portland than the germs of the revolutionary war were be- ginning to take root. In 1775 Captain Mow- att bombarded and burned the town and the comfortable home of Joseph Holt Ingraham was laid in ashes. Not discouraged, however, he erected in 1777 the first dwelling-house in Portland after the bombardment. (See Wil- lis' History of Portland, page 550.) His in- vestments must have taken the form largely of real estate, as the early records show he had large holdings in this line. In 1793 he built Ingraham wharf. now called Commercial wharf. In 1799 he laid out State street with its beautiful rows of trees which makes it to-day a magnificent residential street of which the city of Portland is justly proud. He gave this street from Congress to the har- bor to the town of Portland, and it is this gift which places him among the greatest bene- factors and public-spirited citizens of Port- land. He also opened Market street from Middle to Fore. In 1801 he built the beau- tiful house on the easterly corner of State and
Danforth streets, which in later years has been known as the Churchill and Dole House. In addition to his magnificent gift of State street to the city of Portland, he gave other valuable property, and the early records of the city clerk's office speak of his generosity. In 1805 he gave a lot of land on the corner of Milk and Market streets, where the armory now stands, to be used for a market place. As evidence of his public spirit, there is in the deed conveying this property a clause which reads as follows: "With a view to serve the interests of the town and to accommodate the inhabitants thereof." Interested in the educa- tion of the youth of his day, he gave a lot of land on Spring street, near State, on which the town erected a schoolhouse. This lot is now used by the city for fire department pur- poses, being occupied by Engine Company No. 4. To show his love for Portland, there is in the deed conveying this property a clause which reads as follows: "In consideration of my regard and attachment for the town of Portland." His next gift was that of the three-acre lot on what is now Portland street, just west of Deerings Oaks, for the site of the City Alms House, and here that institution stood till 1905, when it was removed to the Deering district. He also gave his time and services for the public good of his town. For eleven years he served as one of the select- men and for ten years represented Portland in the general court of Massachusetts when Maine was a part of that commonwealth.
He was married three times ; married (first) March 1, 1775, Abigail, of Portland, daugh- ter of James Milk. One child, James Milk. Abigail died May 17, 1783. (See Smith and Dean's Journals, page 353.) Married (sec- ond) in 1786, Lydia Stone, of Brunswick, Maine. She only lived a short time. They had one child, William Stone, who died at forty years of age, unmarried. Married (third), Ann Tate, in 1789. She was born March 18, 1767, died March 25, 1844, in Portland. (See Smith and Dean's Journal, page 250, and Willis' History of Portland, page 841.) She was a niece of Admiral Tate, of the Russian navy. Children of third mar- riage: I. Elizabeth Ross, born September 17, 1791. 2. John Hermiker, June 1, 1793. died at twenty-four years of age. 3. George Tate, September 13, 1795. 4. Samuel Parkman, No- vember 22, 1796. 5.

teen years of age. 9. Mary Little, September 13, 1806, died at about six years of age. 10. Lydia, died at fifteen years of age. 11. Na- thaniel, died at ten years of age.
Joseph Holt Ingraham built and for years lived in the house now occupied by Mr. Elias Thomas on the corner of Danforth and Win- ter streets, and it was in this house that he died October 30, 1841, at the age of eighty- nine years. He was buried in the old In- graham tomb in the Eastern cemetery in Port- land, overlooking the scenes of his activities, the town he loved so well.

After regaining his health he studied law for one year in the office of John Neal, and completed his studies in the office of Deblois & Jackson, and was ad- mitted to the Cumberland bar in 1859. In 1860 he was elected clerk of the common council, and a member of the school committee, which position he held for three years.

CLEVELAND There is no question what- ever as to the antiquity of the English branches of the Cleveland family, which traces to one Thorkil de Cliveland, whose name appears in history about the time of the Norman con- quest ; and from that time coming down through the centuries there were those bear- ing the surname in some of its various ortho- graphical forms who were peers, dukes and earls, titles conferred by sovereigns as marks of royal favor, for deeds of valor in the wars or service to the crown in official station. With titles there also were coats-of-arms, some of them suggesting an ancient Welsh origin ; and while all of these marks of dis- tinction were put away when the immigrant American ancestor crossed the Atlantic to the shores of this country, his numerous descend- ants look with satisfaction on these emblems of gentility in their family in ancient times. That which appears to be the accepted coat- of-arms of the Cleveland family of the branch under consideration in this place is thus de- scribed in Burke's "Peerage": "Per chevron sable and ermine, a chevron engrailed counter- changed." Crest : A demi old man proper, habited azure, having on a cap gules turned up with a fair front holding in the dexter hand a spear, headed argent, on the top of which is fixed a line proper, passing behind him, and coiled up in the sinister hand." Burke gives no motto, but three such at least are inscribed on the scrolls accompanying the arms: "Pro Deo at Patria"-For God and Country ; "Semel et Semper"-Once and Always ; "Vin- cit Armor Patria"-Love of Country Con- quers.
