"George (Richard-1) born, 1618, in England; died, 1694, after June 22 (Maine Wills, 9 : 174). He was allotted 40 acres of land in Enon (Wenham), to which was added a grant of 40 acres (29-9-1642). Selling this land he moved in 1646 to Gloucester where he kept an ordinary, and was elected selectman in 1652 (Babson : History of Gloucester). He emigrated to Casco Bay, where he settled at Back Cove as early as June 25, 1657. He there bought 55 acres of land from George CLEAVES, paying 55 shillings, with an annual tribute of one shilling and one day's work. He became prominent, and was a petitioner to the General Court in 1660. Chosen juryman in 1666 and 1668, he was sent the latter year to York, to meet the commission engaged under the direction of the General Court in reestablishing the disputed jurisdiction of Massachusetts. He had on July 4, 1668, as selectman of and on the part of Falmouth (now Portland) forwarded a petition on the situation of the General Court. The commission headed by Major General LEVERETT, was empowered to appoint officials, civil and military. George INGERSOLL, erroneously called INGERFIELD in the report, was commissioned lieutenant and placed in command of the militia at Falmouth. He was most active during the Indian troubles, but the King Philip war proved disastrous to him. One of his sons was killed in October, 1675, at the opening of this war in Maine, his plantation was attacked, and his house and property was destroyed. Thirty-four persons were killed or made captive in or near Falmouth, and the remaining inhabitants withdrew for safety to Andrew Island. INGERSOLL was in the field until the beginning of December, when he decided to return to Salem with the families of himself and his sons. His departure was criticised, but Williamson in his History of Maine says: 'INGERSOLL's military talents procured his promotion to the command of the town militia, and office he filled with much repute through the first (1675) Indian war.' Casting in his lot again with Falmouth in 1680, INGERSOLL renewed his public activities. He was chosen deputy of the Provincial Assembly of Maine from Falmouth in 1683 and 1685. He was designated by the General Court as one of the commissioners to lay out a new town-site of 1,000 acres and make allotments thereof. At the threatening Indian disturbances of 1689, he was called to serve on the council of war at Falmouth. Doubtless foreseeing the great dangers of his exposed plantation at Stroudwater, and in view of his age (72), he withdrew to Salem and thus escaped the vicissitudes of the second destruction of Falmouth the following year. He married about 1642, Elizabeth ----, who died before him. Children: Son, killed by Indians at Falmouth... George... John... Joseph... Elizabeth... Elizabeth... Samuel... Mary"
