• Notes

  Came 1784 To America "Marion, the eldest child was nine years old when they left Scotland. Marion Ingles 18 month old brother died in Philadelphia, 12 days after they arrived. "Colonel Lowe of South Carolina was her uncle, and Dr. Witherspoon, ex-president of Princeton College, was her cousin." Two children of Thomas Gilruth and Marion T. Ingalls; died in infancy, probably French Grant or Belleville, Virginia. Referring to Marion Ingles, Mary Westlake States: "Mother Gilruth was very short and very broad, about 47 years of age, with a good, strong, sensible face. She proved to be the chief executive, for F ather Gilruth liked hunting and fishing all too well." Mary Westlake states: Marion Ingles "had a very pleasant manner". Reference to seeing Thomas Gilruth (The Past is Prologue - Meandings with Memoirs, by Alpha J. Kynett, 1954): The following was supposedly quoted from a letter written by Marion Ingles to "her son" in 1845 - "Sometime shortly after January 10, 1786 during their trip from Pittsburg: "We ran aground at the mouth of Big Beaver, where we froze to the bar for two weeks. The thaw came on the Sabbath and our people would do nothing to secure the boat, so we broke loose during the night amidst the ice. The river was frozen before us and the ice pressed upon the boat so that the water washed in. "At some turn we got near the shore, where the men jumped on the shore to fasten the boat, but the rope broke and we were again in the midst of the river without a man on the boat. My mother then gave me the child, took a bucket and commenced throwing out the water, which was about one foot deep in the boat. By her exertions and prayers to God, the boat was kept afloat for many miles. At last one of our men got a canoe and came to us. "We were then opposite 'Mingo Bottom,' and some men on shore put ropes to the canoe to help the man to fetch us out of the boat. We got into the canoe and reached the shore, but my Mother was so exhausted that she could not stand, and as the last one got out the ice broke the canoe. "We went to Henderson's and there my father and the men left us and pursued after the boat. It was richly laden. Two or three men boarded her and the ice broke their canoe so they could not get out. Some more men went to fetch them and their canoe was also broken, so they also set to bailing, by which means she was kept afloat. "By great exertion, in two miles they got the boat ashore and got the dry goods and liquors out, but left one hundred bushels of corn, some hogs and chickens with which she sank and was lost. Some were for making all a prize, although two of our men were on board when she was landed. "The next Spring Marietta was settled. Soon after, the Indians began to steal our horses. And the people made Forts. Then General Harmer was sent against them and was defeated. My father would not go into the Fort until the Indians surrounded our house. We were at breakfast when I heard men running between our house and the Fort. "Supposing it to be some men we expected to work, that day, I went to the door to see which was the smartest; but then heard a shriek in another direction, and looking in that way, saw Thomas Gilruth running with great speed to his house, and beheld three indians with guns leveled on me. I then gave the alarm, and caught my brother, a boy of seven years and threw him into the house and shut the door. My father then came and helped to bar it. "The indians then shot a yoke of oxen standing near the door. My Mother fastened a large window and Mr. Brown shot an Indian out of another window, at which they all fled and took Joseph Kelly a prisoner after having killed his father and left his Mother a widow with five children.
