THE WYOMING AND LACKAWANNA VALLEYS. 1

nelius, John and Stephen. Hannah, born in Plains, just outside the present city limits of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, February 7, 1798, became wife of John Abbott (No. 6, Abbott fam- ily above), and was the mother of three children : Lucy W., Catherine and Robert Miner. At the time of her birth Wilkes-Barre was only a little hamlet in a great wilderness, and she vividly re- called many a horseback ride to Wilkes-Barre either alone or on the same horse with her father. It was a time of great hardship, and a source of great inconvenience was a lack of ready money with which to transact business. Mrs. Abbott remembered well hearing the survivors of the Wyoming massacre of 1778 tell about that bloody event, for many of them were alive during her recollection. The terrors inspired by the pres- ence of the savages, the eager hanging of the women and children upon the gospel minister to shield them, the merciless attack of the British and Indians, the flight across the mountains through the "Shades of Death" to the Minisink settlements on the Delaware, or to Connecticut, the sufferings of the bare-footed, almost naked children, the birth of a child during this mad stampede. and the tender efforts of the fugitives to provide for the mother and carry her on blan- kets fastened to two horses-these and many other incidents were familiar tales to her. It was hard for Mrs. Abbott to realize the changes since the old days-the telegraph, the telephone, the electric cars and many other modern im- provements. When speaking of the electric cars she said they reminded her of lines that ran through her mind, where taken from she did not know.

"The arm of Omnipotent power they assume And ride in chariots of fire,"

certainly not an unprophetic description. She was a consistent member of the Methodist church for eighty years, joining at the age of fourteen, and throughout her lifetime she was cheered and com- forted by a faith which never wavered. She passed away May 4. 1892, having attained the ex- treme old age of ninety-four years. She was a woman of rugged constitution and of wonderful energy, and up to two years previous to her de- mise her sight was unimpaired. In her declining years she was surrounded by everything to make her comfortable, and her two daughters were de- votion itself. At the time of her death she was the oldest person in Luzerne county, Pennsyl- vani.

INGHAM FAMILY. The Ingham family of the line here treated belonged to Yorkshire in England, and descended from Sir Oliver Ing- ham, who lived in the time of Edward III, but went into Ireland. 1650. Thomas Ingham was a surgeon in the royal army. He was born at Stag Hall, on the Ingham estate in Lisnmane, county Cairn ; died April, 1777 ; married, March 4, 1729, Mary Farmer,1 died March 25, 1759. Their son, Charles Farmer Ingham, born Stag Hall, June 27, 1737, died Dublin, October 17, 1813, married, March 25, 1770, Florence Veitch, died August 24, 1824. Charles received an appointment under the crown in the reign of George III as collector of customs in Dublin, upon which he removed to that city and lived at Island Bridge until his death. He was buried in St. Paul's Church. His sister Immorinda remained at Stag Hall, and after her death a part of the estate was sold to Lord Lanesborough, whose property adjoined Lisnmane ; Stag Hall subsequently went into pos- session of John Ingham, one of the descendants of Thomas Ingham.

Charles Farmer Ingham had two sons : Thomas, born August 25, 1771, married Jane Reilley ; and Humphrey John, born Stag Hall, April 10, 1782, died Allegheny City, Pennsyl- vania, October 15, 1866; married Mary Bor- bidge ; she died January 14, 1826. The children

of Humphrey J. Ingham and wife Mary Borbidge- were: Sarah Borbidge, born August 22, 1804 ;. Florence Veitch, born August 19, 1806; Mary, born June 7, 180S, married a Tuttle; Charles Farmer, born Dublin, Ireland, August 12, 1810, died Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, January 18,. 1890; John Borbidge, born January 15, 1813, died January 3, 1893; Rachel Smith, born Oc- tober 20, 1814, married John Barr; Elizabeth, born June 16, 1817, married a Mr. Ackley ; James, born December 7, 1819, died August 12, 1820; Fanny Borbidge, born June 4, 1822, married Thomas Parker.

Charles Farmer Ingham was born of English parents in the city of Dublin, Ireland, 1810, and died Wilkes-Barre, January 18, 1890. He came to America in early childhood with his parents, who located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When about twelve years old his father removed to the Wyoming Valley and located on the west side of the river. Young Ingham joined his uncle, Thomas Borbidge, as clerk in the latter's store- in Kingston. He remained there several years, and took up the study of medicine with Dr. Thomas WV. Miner. In 1830 he taught school in the old Wilkes-Barre Academy, which stood on the public square. Subsequently he attended lec- tures in the University of Pennsylvania, Philadel- phia, although during all this time his attention had largely been given to civil engineering, for which he was especially adapted by nature. He never engaged in medical practice, but applied himself to engineering, in which he subsequently achieved a wide reputation. He early distin- guished himself by the part he took as assistant engineer in locating and constructing the North Branch canal, running south from Wilkes-Barre- to Northumberland, and north to the New York state line. The work was completed in the sum- mer of 1834. He located, surveyed and built the back track of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company from Penobscot to Wilkes-Barre. This was the first gravity road built in the Wyoming valley. His services were sought by the Jersey- Central in the construction of the branch run- ning from Wilkes-Barre to Nanticoke, and he was afterward employed by the Pennsylvania Rail- road Company as engineer of its Susquehanna Coal Company mines at Nanticoke. The rail- road bridge across the Susquehanna from Wilkes- Barre to Plymouth, now the Delaware & Hudson bridge, was engineered by him. Shortly before. the war he started the system of works for the- Wilkes-Barre Water Company, and carried it to successful completion. Dr. Ingham in earlier years was superintendent and engineer for an oil

I. The Farmer family came from Northampton- shire, England. and settled in Youghal, Ireland. They were a collateral branch of the Earls of Pomfret Farmers. Mary was one of a family of eight children of Farmer and Mary Hales, his wife. The surname Farmer has been handed down in almost every suc- ceeding generation from Mary's marriage with Thomas Ingham.

works and powder mill at Spottswood, New Jer- sey, but owing to explosions and other misfor- tunes the venture was unprofitable. It was at Spottswood that he married in 1839, Lucy Ver- net, of Connecticut birth and French extraction. He then went to Texas and remained three years, experiencing all the excitements and vicissitudes incident to early days on the Rio Grande. Re- turning about 1843 he was soon called upon by the United States government to proceed to Charleston, South Carolina, where he remained seven years assisting Colonel Alexander H. Bow- man, United States Army, in the erection of Fort Sumter. When this work was finished he re- turned to Wilkes-Barre and entered the employ of the Mordecai brothers, of Baltimore, as en- gineer of their mines at Wilkes-Barre, at which time the coal trade was coming rapidly into prom- inence.

Dr. Ingham was for many years a member of the old Wilkes-Barre borough council, and was one of the original members of the Wyoming His- torical and Geological Society, and its president, 1862-63 and 1882-83: its vice-president, 1861, and 1884-89; librarian, 1860-61, 1864-67, 1869- 73: curator of conchology, 1884-90: curator of mineralogy 1886-90. His services were valu- able in the society by reason of his in- timate knowledge of geology, conchology, and other scientific branches : he was an expert on all matters connected with the coal measures. For several years he made annual trips to Stellerton, Nova Scotia, where he was engaged as consult- ing engineer for the Arcadia Coal Company. He was the trusted expert of the Wilkes-Barre syndicate, developing the "Wheel of Fortune" mine in Colorado. He made numerous trips to the west, being once taken out by a syndicate of English capitalists who built the Rio Grande rail- road to report as an expert upon some of the work, and once to examine the coal deposits in the Gunnison region. During the Leadville ex- citement he was engaged in extensive investiga- tions in the interest of Wilkes-Barre investors. In 1873-75 he laid out the summer resort, Seagirt, Monmouth county, New Jersey. When the sewer system was introduced into Wilkes-Barre the work of engineering naturally was entrusted to Dr. Ingham, and he prosecuted it vigorously for two years, after which it was turned over to his son and other young men.

Dr. Ingham was an engineer when Wilkes- Barre was only a borough, and both he and his son, William V. Ingham, have been connected with the surveyor's office for nearly a half cen- tury, during which time nearly thirty miles of

streets have been paved, of which eighteen miles was under the supervision of William V. Ing- ham, also some sixty miles of sewers were put in, of which nearly fifty was under the present in- cumbent of the office, William V. Ingham. In fact, all of the improvements from a borough of less than ten thousand to a city of sixty thousand have taken place since Dr. Ingham first came into this office, and the appropriations for this purpose have been increased from five to fifty thousand dollars. Dr. Ingham was a man who sought the quiet walks of life, and whose recrea- tion laid in three directions-home, books, and his study of nature. He was a man of excellent education, and, as was said of him by Rev. Dr. Henry L. Jones in the funeral service, his life was characterized by industry, integrity, and pur- ity. He was a member of Lodge No. 61, F. and A. M., of Wilkes-Barre, from 1855 until his death.

Dr. Ingham married, Spottswood, New Jer- sey, October 7, 1839, Lucy Vernet.1 who died September 26, 1897. They had children : Mary Ann, born September 25, 1842, lives in Wilkes- Barre : William Vernet, born July 21, 1846, of whom later: Lucy Brown, born September 6, 1848, lives in Wilkes-Barre: Charles Farmer, born August 30, 1851, died May 13, 1855.

William Vernet Ingham, eldest son and sec-

1. Lucy Vernet, born Norwich, Connecticut, April 20, 1813, died Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, September 26, 1897, was daughter and youngest but one of six chil- dren of John Vernet and wife Ann Brown.

Ann Brown. born October 23. 1780, died October 1I. 1859. who married John Vernet. was a daughter of Jesse Brown, born 1747, died Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. January 7, 1816. and his wife Anna Rudd. This Jesse Brown during the Revolution was in the service of Connecticut as "express" and confidential manager for the council of safety, and his services are recorded in "Connecticut Men in the War of the Revolution." page 628. He was head of the shipping firm of Jesse Brown & Sons in the West Indies trade, and the firm's vessels were seized during the embargo of 1812. John Vernet and his family subsequently removed to Wilkes-Barre. Pennsylvania. Anna Rudd. wife of Jesse Brown. was descended from Jonathan Rudd, who came from Eng- land and settled in New Haven, Connecticut, 1640: was freeman of Saybrook, 1644. His son Nathaniel. of Franklin, Connecticut, married (first) Mary Post. and (second) Abigail Hartshorne.
