John, bapt. at Sutton March 11, 1620; m. about 1643, Judith Felton, daughter of Widow Eleanor Felton, an early settler in Salem; he d. in 1683. John testified in 1670 that he had lived for four or five years with his father on the Townsend Bishop farm before his father died in 1644. He did not remain in Salem Village but became a shoreman, living in Salem where he was granted 40 acres in 1649, but having a house and equipment for drying fish on Winter Island. In 1651 the town of New London in the Connecticut Colony made a grant to John Ingason which he forfeited by not settling there. He took the Freeman's Oath in 1668, was on trial juries in 1673 and 1674, and was elected a tythingman in 1677. He had a negro servant named Wonn who testified against Bridget Oliver (later Bridget Bishop) when she was accused of witchcraft in 1679. In 1682 he gave, in a court case, and interesting account of the business of a shoreman in the fishing industry. John Ingersall of Salem made his will on Nov. 20 and it was proved on Dec. 27, 1683. To his wife Judith he left his dwelling house and the land about it, the 40-acre town grant and all his movables not otherwise disposed of, or the term of her life. If she be in need, any part of the legacy can be disposed of with the consent of his overseers. In case Judith should lose her understanding, his daughter Ruth shall care for her and improve the said estate. If, on the death of his wife, the property has not been disposed of, his son Samuel shall have the dwelling house, the land thereto belonging and one-half of the barn. To his son John, the other half of the barn and the land around it. If Samuel shall come to enjoy the dwelling house he shall pay to his [the testator's] daughter Sarah �20, and �5 to each of his daughters-in-law, Mary, relict of Nathaniel Ingersoll, and Sarah, relict of Richard Ingersoll. In case the 40 acres is not sold he leaves it to his son John and his daughter Ruth. To his son John, land belonging to John's house. To Mary, widow of his son Nathaniel, the land adjoining Nathaniel's house for life and then to her son Nathanie. To Sarah, widow of his son Richard, the land adjoining Richard's house for life and then to her son Richard. To his sons Samuel and John, the house and the flakes thereto belonging on Winter Island. To his daughter Sarah, a feather bed and bolster, a rug and blanket. To daughter Ruth, all movables remaining at death of his wife. Executors: sons John and Samuel. Overseers: friends Edward Mould and brother-in-law Nathaniel Felton. [ref 46:2-339]
