DANIEL INGRAHAM - CT son of Eleazer
Okay I am starting over on this name and listing here the know facts thus far. Possibly someone can a)fill in the empty spaces and yell 'Eureka' for me. :-0, or 2) be as lost and mystified as I am.
Daniel Ingraham was born 13 Oct 1766, son of Eleazer and Lydia (Guthrie) Ingraham.
1) I found a marriage for a Daniel Ingraham, 25 Oct 1795 to a Huldah Sweatland. This marriage was in Early CT Marriages and was in the New Preston Church, Littlefield Ct.
2) Daniel's first child was Henry Ingraham (m. to Angeline Barney) and Henry was b. ca 1796 in CT, so this seems to fit.
3) Daniel's second child was a daughter Huldah, b. ca 1799 NY. A Huldah Ingraham died 8 Oct 1864 in Hambden, Geauga Co., OH, 65 yrs of age.
4) Daniel is in the 1840 Geauga Co, Hambden Census.
5)The next child Caroline, b. Bradford Co., PA. (m. Daniel Sawyer) isn't born until ca 1804, a five year gap and not likely in those days. :-).
6) This leads to the supposition that Huldah died and Daniel married a second time.
7) There has been supposition on this forum that Daniel m. Esther Hickock, the daughter of Nathaniel who was a friend of Daniel's and is shown in Daniel's HH as a RW vet in the 1840 Geauga Co. OH census.
8) There is an Esther Ingraham who died in Hambden, 19 June 1863, 81 yrs of age
9) Although elderly and in OH in 1840, there is no death record found for Daniel
10) I looked up Nathaniel Hickock's family and he did have a daughter Esther, but she married in 1803 to Daniel Scott and they were still m. and having children in 1820, while Daniel Ingraham and supposed spouse Esther had children, Esther, Joseph, Lydia, Maria, Susan, Ann, Samantha, Nathaniel H. and Barton H. between 1804-1818, so that appears to eliminate Esther Hickock as Daniel's wife, does it not?
11) Other documents have Barton H and Caroline mentioning a mother Esther.
12) I have scoured the internet for record of any marriage of Daniel to an Esther, or just for a second marriage in CT, NY and PA, to no avail.
So there sits the mystery. Who did Daniel marry? Where did he die and when? Who, where, when, etc etc etc. This is a real conundrum and I refuse to give up on it.
Does anyone out there have any different answers? Is anyone living in SLC who can look at the film?
Any help appreciated!
