   J. W. INGERSOLL, a native of the county in which he continues to reside, was
born in 1847, and is one of the following-named members of the family of Peter
and Typhenia (Wines) Ingersoll: Catharine Sherwood, J. W., Phebe Baker, Mary
Hunt, H. C. (deceased), Lizzie (deceased), and two that died in infancy. Lizzie
became the wife of James Starnes, and died at her home in Kansas. Her remains
were brought to Indiana, and interred in the cemetery at Worthington, where also
rests the remains of her father. Peter Ingersoll was born April 2, 1805, in New
York State, and at an early day came with his parents to Greene County, Ind.,
where he was married to Typhenia Wines, who was born May 9, 1809, a daughter of
Leonard Wines. He died October 9, 1876, preceded by his wife, May 12, 1852. The
latter rests in peace by the side of her two first-born in the village cemetery
at Dixon. Both parents were members of the Presbyterian Church. J. W. Ingersoll
passed his boyhood days upon his fathers farm, and when seventeen years old
volunteered his services for the suppression of the rebellion in Company F, One
Hundred and Forty-ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He served with his regiment
through several engagements and long marches through Georgia, and was mustered
out of the service at Terre Haute, Ind., in 1865. His eldest brother, H. C, who
died July 16, 1866, of disease contracted in the service, was a member of the
One Hundred and Fifteenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and his death left a
daughter, who is living with our subject. J. W. Ingersoll and Mary J. Dixon were
married in 1869, and to them have been born two children—D. A. and H. P. Mrs.
Ingersoll was born in 1849, a daughter of Daniel G. and Mary J. (Walker) Dixon,
who are among the first settlers of Greene County.
