Ingalls Family

The story of the Ingalls in Rocks Village is an sad one.  There are many different versions of the daughter of Henry Ingalls and Abigial Wingate who was most famously known as The Countess.

According to Burleigh, Henry V, was a revolutionary soldier serving as a substitute from Nathaniel Lovejoy.

The first deed that we have showing Henry in Rocks Village is from 1795 when he purchased the land with building of what is now known as 29 East Main Street. Although it is often called the birthplace of Mary (Ingalls de Vipart), she was born in 1786 before they moved to Haverhill.

Count François Félix Hector de VIPART MORAINVILLIERS and his cousin de Poyen come to Rocks Village as refugees of Guatalope and they both fall in love with and marry local women.  the count marries Mary Ingalls and de Poyen marries Sophia.

On August 28, 1807, Henry’s wife Abigail dies of consumption and young Mary also dies in the same year from taking care of her mother on Jan 5, 1807. They are both buried in Greenwood cemetery, however, Mary’s stone has had to be put away for safe keeping as visitor were taking parts of it as souvenirs.

The count ultimately returns to Guatalope and Henry gets into some financial trouble.

1813 a judgement is made against Henry Ingalls from Moses Carelton No2/47and another by Fitch Pool No2/13.  The resolution for payment is splitting up the house (or at least the front part) and giving it to Carelton and Fitch. All the three pieces of the house  goes to John Ladd by 1820 after a few mortgages between John and his father Nathaniel. Ultimately, the house is purchased by Dr. Weld in 1820 where he and (widow of Dr. William L. Abbott) Abigail (Carr) Abbott live for 4 years before they move to Hallowell Maine.

Henry Ingalls, V married Susan Merrill in 1811.

In the 1820 census he would have been 68 is listed as living in Haverhill with 2 males under 1 male 10 and 26, 1 male over 45, 1 female btwn 10 and 16, and one female btwn 16 and 26. These could be his second wife’s children.

He ultimately moved to Ayers Village, Haverhill, and died in the poorhouse, Apr. 12, 1832 (Kimball). Susan had died in 1824. Records suggest that he is buried in Linwood Cemetery, but not gravestone was found.
