The Commission, dated at Hartford, Conn., May 18, 1780, and signed by Jonathan Trumbull, is in good preservation in the possession of Major Luke-Y. Higley, a grandson.
Lt. Higley purchased Right No. 49, of Seth Smith, in its wild, primitive state, "being the original Right of Benjamin Alvord, said land lying in New Marlborough, in the County of Cumberland and State of New York, or as some people
[ 182 ]

call it the County of Windham and State of Vermont, for and in consideration of the sum of nine shillings per acre." The deed is dated Nov. 26, 1781, and is well preserved.

INGRAM, Jonathan and John (according to the tradition handed down in the family), were two brothers who came from England in the 17th century, when much of New England was an uncultivated wilderness and inhabited only by Indians, with whom they had their contests and trials. From these two brothers numerous families des- cended. One of the descendants supposedly of Jonathan, as successive generations bear that name, was an early settler of Hadley, Mass. Thence one came to Marlborough, whose descendants have become numerous. The name has been variously spelt Inggram, Ingraham, and Ingram. The branch in this place adopted the shortest method.
