Lient. Benjamin Ingalls, the first settler in Hiram, Me., was born to Moses and Maria Ingalls, in Andover, Mass., Aug. 1, 1728, O. S. He entered the British army, and was captured at Louisburg, by Sir William Pepperill, in 1745. In 1761 he was commissioned as lieutenant. He left the army about 1765 and made several voyages to sea. In 1774 he came to Great Falls, on Saco river, in company with Daniel Foster, who married his sister Anna, and they selected and surveyed several lots of land, the original record of which, in the handwriting of Lieutenant Ingalls, is preserved. The lot of Ingalls was on the west side of Saco river, extending from the brook above Hiram falls to a point about sixty rods above the mouth of Hancock brook, and included the whole site of the present village at Hiram bridge.
Lieutenant Ingalls married Mary White, of Andover, Mass. They settled in the autumn of 1774 on the intervale in the bend of Saco river, on the farm since owned by Henry Wadsworth. The cellar was visible not many years ago, also four decaying apple-trees planted by him. His nearest neighbors, in 1774, were James Howard, in Brownfield, the grandfather of Hon. Joseph Howard, of Portland, and a Mr. Cookson, in Standish. In October, 1785, the "great freshet" carried away his cabin, hovel, and blacksmith's shop. He then removed across the river into Flintstown, now Baldwin, near the " Ingalls pond," and near where his grandsons, Samuel and Andrew Ingalls and his granddaughter, Mrs. Sarah Richardson, have resided since. In April, 1813, Lieutenant Ingalls and wife went to reside with Capt. Charles L. Wadsworth on the farm owned by his son, Capt. Samuel, in Hiram, and died there, March 24, 1815. He was buried in Baldwin. Mrs. Ingalls died at same place about eight months later. Seven children as follows :

He entered the Military Academy at West Point, in 1839, and graduated, July 1, 1843, as brevet second lieutenant of a rifle regiment formerly 2d Dragoons, afterwards 2d Cavalry. He was sent to duty with his regiment to Louisiana, where he served with the late rebel General Twiggs on the border of Texas, when that state was a Republic. In 1845 he was pro- moted to a lieutenancy in the Ist Dragoons, and joined that regiment at Fort Leavenworth in May of that year. During the Mexican war, he was adjutant of that post, which was most of the time under General Kearney, with whom he afterwards went into New Mexico. At the time of the insurrection, in 1847, he was present at the engagements of Em- budo and Pueblo-de-Taos, and for his gallantry and good conduct on those occasions he was brevetted. In Jan., 1848, he was a captain in the Quartermaster's Department, and in April, following, sailed for Cali- fornia with the first troops that were sent to that coast, and remained several years. Before the attack on Fort Sumter, he returned to the Atlantic States, and sailed with the command of Colonel Brown, as chief quartermaster, to re-inforce Fort Pickens, where he served until July 1, 1861, when he was withdrawn, and ordered to do duty as chief quarter- master on the south side of the Potomac, at Arlington, where his duties were laborious and responsible, and where he served with signal suc- cess, in consideration of which he was appointed an aid-de-camp, Sept. 28th of that year. to General McClellan. with rank of lieutenant-colonel. On Jan. 12, 1862, he was made a brigadier-general of volunteers, for fourteen years of faithful service in the Quartermaster's Department, and on the retirement of General Van Vliet he was made chief quar- termaster of the army of the Potomac.

Jameson Family.
This family was of Scottish origin, and men of eminence bearing the name have been mentioned in the annals of Scotland; among these GEORGE JAME- SONE, the distinguished artist and portrait painter, of Scotland, who studied under Rubens with Vandyke at Antwerp; ROBERT JAMESON, the celebrated naturalist, and JOHN JAMIESON, D. D., an eminent antiquarian and philologist, whose portrait, with one of the artist, is in the author's collection. Branches of the family were planted in the north of Ireland, probably later than 1620, not mentioned up to that date in the history of the plantation of Ulster, from whence came cadets to New England in 1718, with the many other Scotch- Irish emigrants who landed that year, some of whom sat down in old Fal- mouth .* Of these we find the name of
William Jameson,1 who is supposed to have been the head of the family in Saco and sub-branches settled in the eastern section of the state. He is mentioned by Willis as one of those who came from the First Parish church for the purpose of forming another society in 1735.
Martin Jameson,2 one of the principal tax payers of Saco in 1737, is supposed to have been a son of William. He died in 1760, aged 55 years, and his grave-stone stood near the present railroad station at Old Orchard beach. His wife was Grizel Patterson, a Scotch-Irish woman, who had a family born at Saco. The following records are all we have found in Saco and Biddeford, Gorham and Cornish.
William Jameson,3 son of Martin and Grizel, was born Jan. 18, 1736; married Jane Means, of Scotch-Irish stock, intention recorded Dec. 29, 1758, in Biddeford. He died June 4, 1815, aged 79 years; his widow died July 13, 1818, aged 83 years. These had children, born in Saco, named as follows:
* Three brothers, named Samuel, Alexander, and Paul JJameson, removed from Falmouth and settled in Meduncook, now Friendship, Me., in 1743, who were probably related to William who came in 1718.
