(My thanks to Kimberly Ingram Dunn for info she shared on this family.)
William Leonard "Bill" Ingram was born February 2, 1890, at Newnata, in Stone County, Arkansas. He was the son of James Ingram and Sarah Delila "Dilly" Cole.
Bill married Rosa Lee Richardson on July 27, 1910, in Calhoun County, Arkansas.
Rosa Lee was born about 1889, in Arkansas, according to their marriage license. She was the daughter of John Andrew Richardson and Lucinda Behetheland Lawrence. John Richardson was born about 1844, in SC, and died Mar 31, 1917. John was the son of David W. Richardson (b. 1813, SC; d. Alco, Stone Co, AR) and his wife Katherine. Lucinda Lawrence was born about 1848, in GA, and died 1927. Lucinda was the daughter of John W. Lawrence and Dulcena Dulcemore Tapp. John Lawrence was born Apr 1821, at Lawrenceville, Gwinett Co, GA, and died 1862, at Corinth, MS. Dulcena Tapp was born Dec 1822, GA,, and died 1904, Green Forest, Carroll Co, AR
Bill and Rosa Lee appear on the 1920 Conway County, Arkansas, census in Welborn Township, near Morrilton. Bill was a farmer. Living with the family was his mother, Delila, age 55, a widow. The family moved to Solgohachia, in Conway County, soon after 1920. They remained at Solgohachia only a short time before moving on to Oklahoma in the mid to late 1920's.
The 1930 Okfuskee County, Oklahoma census, Morse Township, shows William L. Ingram, head of household, 40, a farmer; wife, Rosa M., 43; Robert C., son, 19, farm laborer; Rufus W., son, 14, farm laborer; Linord A., son, 11; Ruthie P., daughter, 8; and Grover H., son, 5 years and 10 months old. Living next door to them was Delilah Ingram, head of household, 66, widowed, and Henry W. Bridgman, a boarder, 56, single. (Henry Bridgman was not actually related to the Ingram family. Frances Adaline Catherine Holden, who was a 1st cousin to Delila Cole Ingram, was the sister-in-law of Henry Bridgman.)
Bill died October 1971, in Montrose, Montrose Co, CO.
