falling with his horse through the old Saugus bridge, and the General Court paid his family one hundred pounds in response to the following petition :
"The humble petition of Robert Ingalls with the rest of his brethren and sisters, being eight in number, humbly sheweth that whereas your poor petitioners father hath been deprived of his life by the insufficiency of Lynne Bridge, so-called, to the great impoverishment of your poor petitioners mother and themselves, and there being a court order that any person so dyeinge through such insufficiency of any bridge in the countrye that there should be an hundred pounds forfeit to the next heir, may it therefore please this honourable Court to take your poor petitioners case into consideration "
His estate was inventoried at £135 : 8 : 10, including house and lands, £50. The name of his wife was Ann, and by her he had nine children, whose names will appear.
Francis Ingalls 1 came from Lincolnshire, England, with Edmund, before- mentioned, in 1629, and shared in the allotment of town lands in Lynn, Mass., in 1638. He was born in 1601 ; was a tanner and lived at Swampscott, where he built a tannery on Humphrey's brook, and the old vats were not taken out until 1825. This was reported to have been the first tannery in New England, and its establishment at that early date may have given impulse to the shoe business that has since grown to such magnitude in the neighborhood.

INGALLS FAMILY.
INGALLS FAMILY OF BRIDGTON, ME.
The Bridgton and Denmark families of Ingalls were descended from the original Edmund,1 through Henry,2 whose son Francis,3 married Elizabeth Stevens, of Andover, Mass .; their sons, Isaiah,+ Nathan,+ Phineas,4 and Francis,4 came to Maine.
Isaiah Ingalls,4 son of Francis3 and Elizabeth (Stevens) Ingalls, of Andover, Mass., came to what is now Bridgton in 1779. He was a practical land surveyor, and for many years spent a large portion of his time in that employment ; was for many years an active magistrate ; was first town clerk; first captain of the militia, and held many offices besides, in town and county. He died in 1830, aged 75 years. By Phebe, his wife, as well as by a former wife whose name does not appear, he had issue, of whom more.
Dea. Phineas Ingalls,4 son of Francis3 and Elizabeth Stevens, b. Nov. 14, 1758, in Andover, Mass., came to the town of Bridgton in 1781 ; m. Eliza- beth, daughter of Jacob Stevens (his cousin ?), who was born Nov. 19, 1764, by whom he had issue, four sons and six daughters, of whom hereafter. Mr. Ingalls was popular with his fellow-citizens, and from the time of his coming to the plantation till past the age of seventy, he was more in public office than any other man in town. He was the first town treasurer; for many years chairman of selectmen; was the first representative of his town sent to the General Court in Massachusetts ; member of convention for framing the con- stitution of the state of Maine; member of the first Legislature of his state; member of the first court of sessions, an office he held till his death. He was a deacon of the Congregational church; served in the army of the Revolution, and drew a pension of $144 a year. He died Jan. 5, 1844, aged 86.
Nathan Ingalls,4 son of Francis3 and Elizabeth, of Andover, Mass., came to Bridgton as early as 1794, and settled in same neighborhood as his brothers ; at that time had eight members in his family. He had a numerous family ; several were born in Wilmington, where he seems to have been living before he domiciled in Andover, where part of his children were born. Records further on.
Francis Ingalls,4 son of Francis3 and Elizabeth, of Andover, Mass., came to Bridgton, Me., and settled there. He had a family consisting of six persons in 1794, viz. : Abel, Samuel, Gardner, Francis, Susan, and Nancy.
Asa Ingalls,4 son of Francis3 and Elizabeth, was born in Andover, Mass. He moved to Bridgton subsequent to the settlement of the before-mentioned brothers. He is said to have married two wives. He had a large family of children, one of whom was the child of Mehitable Loring, of Yarmouth, but who had previously been the wife of Capt. John Bennett, a master mariner, who was lost at sea. She was sister of the wife of Jonathan Lakin, of Harrison. When living with her first husband she was surrounded with many luxuries, and was dressed in "rich blue silk" when married to Mr. Ingalls. I find record of the marriage of Asa Ingalls to Harriet Newhall, March 18, 1815; probably another man. The first wife died April 2, 1807. Children's names hereafter.
Renhen Ingalls, 4 supposed to have been a son of Francis3 and Elizabeth, of Andover, Mass., came to Bridgton from Marblehead, Mass. He settled as
