I am searching for information on a Harvey Ingraham according to the Greenfield Vedette Nov. 27, 1902 a marriage licenses was issued to a Harvey Ingraham of Gage, Ellis, Oklahoma and a Mollie C. Cannady of Dadeville, Mo. I have reason to believe that this Harvey Ingraham is one of the missing siblings to my Great Grandfather Clarence Cidney, (Can), Ingraham. My G. Grandfather Can named his oldest son Harvey and I have not found that name anywhere else in the family, have always wondered where it came from. If so his parents would have been Charles Ingraham and Cornelia Ellen Bain who were married in Kane County, Il., April 16, 1850. According to the information that Cornelia gave in 1910 was that she had given birth to 9 children, but only 5 were still living in 1910. The only names that I know of for sure are Maggie, Edward and Clarence there may have been a William. Charles and Cornelia arrived in Dade County, Mo in about 1883 I believe. Because there is record of a marriage between a Margaret Ingraham and a George W. Alexander Palmer. Clarence stayed on the farm helping out his parents as his father Charles had receive a gun shot wound to his right knee during the Civil War while serving with Ill. R troops which left him crippled. Maggie was suppose to have moved to Oklahoma, and Edward moved to California with this son Edgar. I would like to have any information on this family as we don't have a lot on the Ingraham's, Thank you Taleah Wilkinson Great Great Granddaughter of Charles and Cornelia Ingraham

I am researching Cornelia S. Ingraham who, I wonder, might be a child of Charles Ingraham and Cornelia Ellen Bain. My Cornelia was the mother of my step-grandfather Cornelius Milton "Whit" Whitaker. As a child Whit lived in Como, MS. My Cornelia married John David Love Whitaker. They all eventually lived in Memphis, TN. I have a beautiful picture of her that I will post onto ancientfaces.com. She & the family were exceptional musicians.

Do you have any dates for your Cornelia, Charles P. Ingraham and Cornelia Bain were married in April of 1850 in Kane County, IL. and were in the household census with his parents and brothers for Kane County, IL. In 1900 Dade County Census it shows that she had given birth to 9 children 5 of which were still living. That would have been Clarence Cidney, Charles Edward, Celia Margaret Ingraham Palmer, and possibly Mary Ingraham ?, and Will or William Ingraham. In the 1880 Census I'm sure I found them in IL., but not Kane County, the surname was Ingram, but the ages matched with the 3 children that came to Dade County, Missouri, with them and settle to a while before marrying and moving on. However there were only 5 children listed so I don't know what happened to the other 4. My Great Grandpa Clarence was the baby he never mentioned a sister Mary at all, she would have been I believe 10 years older, he did mention the older brother William to left home when he was very small and they were still living in IL., he thought but wasn't sure. I've only be able to trace family for or account for Charles Edward, Maggie and one of her sons, and of course Clarence my Great Grandfather. I do know by the 1850 census that Charles had brothers ages 22, 18, 16 and I think 14 living at home, John, Aaron, Michael, and I think William I would have to look at the papers again. I don't think it showed how many children that Elizabeth and Charles Sr. had, and we think her maiden name my have been Courser, and they were from England by the way of Canada, as some of cousin show the family in England before the states, and Charles Sr. and Elizabeth show New Brunswick Canada, before IL.

This appears to be the family of Cornelia Ingraham (unusual name). I do not have any dates for her other than her husband, John David Love Whitaker, was born in 1854. Cornelia probably was born in late 1850s to early 1860s.

One of her sons, Cornelius Milton Whitaker, was born September 24, 1893. The name "Cornelia" was used, at least, in 3 generations, Cornelia Bain, Cornelia, Ingraham & Cornelius Whitaker.

Cornelia Bain was probably off and married by the 1880 Census so might not have been on that Census with her family. Now that I have a possible last name, I can check some Censuses for this Cornelia against what I know when they ended up in Como, MS & Memphis.

This Cornelia was also very musical, playing the violin. Her husband & family also played & taught music. I checked the Memphis Death Index http://history.memphislibrary.org/ but didn't find her listed. I know she died after her husband who died in 1935 according to his obit.

Cornelia's other children were named Jon Love Whitaker & a daughter who married Burl McKinney whose daughter married a Novitzki. Cornelia & JDL Whitaker lived most of their life in Memphis. I will check with some cemeteries here in Memphis to see if she might be buried here.

There was another Harvey Ingraham besides my grandfather's older brother, this one I haven't been able to obtain information on, except after he went to Oklahoma he returned to Everton, Mo. near where my Ingrahams were living here in Dade County and married a Dadeville girl. I believe that this Harvey and possibly your Cornelia were the older of the 9 children of Charles P. and Cornelia Bain Ingraham. It is very possible that both of these two had left home by the 1880 Census because Will, Mary and Maggie were almost old enough to leave home then.

My great, great grandfather Harry James Ingham was married to Mollie C. Cannady. I am not sure you found the right person.

I should add they lived and raised their family in Stratford, Texas. Their daughter, Alice E (Ingham) Lollis is my great grandmother. Let me know if you would like to contact me about this.

I would like to hear from you as there were some of the Ingraham's that I can account for. Have wondered where the name of Harvey came from as he seemed to be the only Harvey in the family. My Grandfather got his name Ernest Earl from a cousin, who died at 11, just before the birth of my Grandfather. We have a William who was the much older brother of my Great Grandfather Clarence C. Ingraham, who was the youngest child, plus there was a much older sister whose name at the this time I can remember. Clarence C. was born in 1866 in Ill., don't have a name of a town. He thought they were German, as he said they lived in small German settlement outside of Chiagho, Ill., when he was six years old. Traced an older sister to Kansas, then to Oklahoma, same with a brother just older than Clarence bit was at least one more brother William, and another sister. William, Maggie(Margaret), and the other sister were the oldest children, Charles Jr., and Clarence were the younger two children. Maggie came to Missouri with the family along with the two younger boys. The other two are missing can find no trace after 1870, when the family was still in Ill.

My Great Great Grandfather was Charles P. Ingraham Jr., his father was Charles P. Ingraham, his wife Elizabeth, they had two or three other sons, don't have my list from the 1850 Il., census which shows Charles P. Ingraham with his new wife Cornlia E. Bain, also with this census it shows the other sons no daughters the boys range in age from 20 to 16, as well as I can remember, the last Il., census shows the spelling like yours, the only way I knew it was my family was Maggies, Charles Edward, and Clarences ages and places of birth, along with Charles P. Jr. and Cornelia's all fit.

My family Charles P. Ingraham Great Great Grandfather and Corneila Ellen Bain were married in 1850 in Il., the name of the county escapes me but have a copy of their marriage liscenses at home, 1850 census shows them living with his father and mother Charles P. and Elizabeth Ingraham and 2 or three unmarried brothers. In the 1870 Il., census shows a sister of Clarence daughter of Charles Jr., and Cornlia I could make out her full name but thought it might be Cornlia for the first name, I think her age may have at that time been 16, making her birth year to be abt. 1853-54, there was also a brother listed as Will, (short for William), that is an older brother that my Great Grandfather spoke of and wondered where he was at, the family thought that he may have left home before the family left Il., since he as about 17 or 18 at the time of the 1870 Il. census, his birthdate abt. 1851-52, which would fit since Charles Jr., and Cornelia married I know in 1850. I have a copy of their marriage liscenses at home. There was another sister older but can't remember her name, as these two sisters were never spoken of that I know, or that I heard of, however I did think that one older daughter's name may have been Cornelia, would your Cornelia's middle name happened to have been Rose, my Great Grandfather told my mother when he found out my middle name is Rose that he had a Grandmother or maybe it was sister who had the name of Rose, (mine came from the other side of the family). He would have been 3 not yet 4 in 1870, he was born in December 1866, his brother just older Charles Edward, (Charles after their father and Grandfather), was 2 or 3 years older. He came to Missouri along with the older sister, she would have been some what older than Charles and Clarence, leaving all of these older children behind that I never knew about except William was mentioned by Clarence before his death in 1956. Charles Edward kept in touch as did his sons. they were just a county away, and sometime later went to California, but still kept in touch for many years. Magggie had a son out of wedlock she left Fred behind with her parents, after their fathers death, Clarence helped with his care, Clarence married late in life as he was caring for aging parents and a nephew. Fred kept in touch after leaving Missouri as did his daughters.
