Excerpt from A Memorial of Caroline Haskell Ingersoll: With Some Notices of Her Family, and of Her Gifts to the City of Keene; And a Poem Major Ingersoll is believed to have traced his de scent from Richard Ingersoll, who emigrated from Bedfordshire in England in the year 1629 and settled in Salem, Massachusetts. The parents of George Ingersoll were Daniel and Bethia Haskell Ingersoll, and he was born, probably in Boston, on the 2d of April, 1754. He enlisted in the Continental army, and served with honor in the war of the Revolution, entering as a private in Gridley's Regiment of Mas sachusetts Artillery, and passing through different grades of service until he resigned his commission as Major in 1804. He was one of the original members of the distinguished Society of the Cincinnati, the beautiful medal of which was highly prized by his granddaughter, and regarded by her as the most valuable relic in her collection.
