Biography
History of Lynn, Massachusetts, including Lynnfield, Saugus, Swampscott, and Nahant, by Alonzo Lewis and James R Newhall: The first white men known to have been inhabitants of Lynn were EDMUND INGALLS and his brother FRANCIS INGALLS. A record preserved in the family of the former says "Mr. Edmund Ingalls came from Lincolnshire, in England, to Lynn, in 1629." He was a farmer, and settled in the eastern part of the town, near a small pond in Fayette street. The place where his house stood is still pointed out by his descendants. He had a malt house near the margin of the pond. When the lands were divided, in 1638, there were apportioned "to Edmund and Francis Ingalls, upland and meadow, 120 acres." He was accidentally drowned in March 1648, by falling with his horse through the old Saugus river bridge, on Boston street: for which the General Court paid one hundred pounds ($444) to his children. His estate was valued at 135 pounds 8 shillings 10 d. including "house and lands 50 pounds." The name of his wife was Ann, and they had nine children, six of whom were born in England. 1. Robert, who inherited his father's house and houselot; 2. Elizabeth. 3. Faith, who married Andrew Allen. 4. John to whom his father gave "the house and ground that was Jeremy Fitts (Fitch), lying by the meeting house and that 3 acres land he hath in England." 5. Sarah, who married William Bitner. 6. Henry, who was born in 1627 and removed to Andover, where he died in 1719, aged 92 years. 7. Samuel. 8. Mary. 9. Joseph
From The Centennial Memorial of Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts, published 1876 https://archive.org/details/centennialmemori00lynn/page/14: pg. 12 and 13: But before all others, clerical or lay, it is fitting that EDMUND INGALLS and his brother FRANCIS INGALLS should be named, they bring the first white persons known to have had established habitations within our borders. The first located near what is now the picturesque little Gold Fish pond; and the other, probably, within the limits of Swampscott. From these two pioneers have descended the numerous and respectable Ingalls family of the present day. They appear to have been well fitted for the enterprise they engaged in - hardy and determined, prepared to face the dangers and endure the privations of a lonely wilderness life--cheered only by the high motives that induced their coming.
