Charles W. Ingram

Charles W. Ingram was the son of Joseph Gaston Ingram.  Joseph Epheldred
Ingram and Charles W. were brothers.  They also had a brother named Robert
that married Matilda unknown.  Two sisters, Nancy and Charity.  Nancy
married 1st George Aaron,  2nd Darien Hodge. Charity married Absolum Foster,
in Sumter Co AL in 1841.  There may have been one other brother, William. 
These siblings are children of Joseph Gaston Ingram and his second wife (he
was married 3 times and had 32/33 children).  JGI was born in Virginia and
died in Covington Co MS.  It is said that he lived to be over 100 years. 

I descend from his third wife, Eleander "Ely Ann" Tyler.  JGI was a Methodist
minister, circuit rider.  It is said that his circuit was the bordering
counties of south central MS and AL, thus the reason that he seemed to be
constantly on the move.  I first found him in 1820 in Covington Co MS, 1830
he is in Marengo Co AL, 1840 in Washington Co, AL, 1850 in Newton Co MS and
back 'home' to Covington Co MS in 1860, where he died about 1881.  He was
buried in family plot in a field called the Ingraham Cemetery. 
Unfortunately, the land was later sold and the owner 'pushed off' the land
to make grazing land. No visible sign of the little buriel ground exists.
