This name is believed to be of Scandinavian origin, and derived from Ingialld. During the ninth century the Scandinavians often descended on the east coast of England, and in after years many of that nationality made settlement there, especially in Lincolnshire. The Domesday Book records a Baron Ingald as tenant of King Williams, A. D., 1080. The meaning of the word Ingialld is: "By the power of Thor." The earliest record found is that of the will of Henry Ingalls (1555), grandfather of Edmund, the emigrant to America. The will of Robert, his father, made 1617, is also of record. The name Ingalls is still common in England, and one well known in the United States, where it is also found (as it is in England) under the different forms of Ingall, Engle, Ingolds and Ingles. In Ingles coat-of-arms are these records: "Gules, three bars gemelle or, on a canton argent five billets en salire sable. Crest: A lily springing from a crown. Motto: Humilis ex corona."

(I) Edmund, son of Robert and grandson of Henry Ingalls, was born at Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, England, about 1598, and came to America in 1628, with Governor Endicott's company, settling at Salem. In 1629, with his brother Francis and four others, he began the settlement of Lynn. He was a man of energy and good character in spite of the court record, which recites that he was fined for bringing home sticks in "both his arms" on the Sabbath day. His name is often found in the public records and show him to have been a man of influence. In March, 1648, while traveling to Boston on horseback, he was drowned in the Saugus river, a defective bridge giving away, plunging both him and his horse into the icy water beneath. His heirs recovered damages from the town. His will was probated September 16, 1648, the appraisement being one hundred and thirty-five pounds.

This is believed to have been the first instance in the revolution of a woman rendering such service on the field of battle, and for her humane and patriotic service she is named on all certificates of membership issued by the Daughters of the Revolution to her descendants, as a "Patriot." The old Dake homestead still stands in Daketown, and has been the home of members of the family, both progenitors and descendants of Charles Dake for two hundred years, the present occupant being Stark Dake.

(The Phillips Line)

(II) John (2), son of John (1) Phillips, raised all the money to establish Antioch College, Yellow Spring, Greene county, Ohio, and was a member of board of trustees, also a member of the committee that met at Philadelphia when the board of trustees congregated there to raise funds for the college; he had the honor of naming it Antioch. He was a Christian clergyman, and his influence for good was exerted over a wide circle. He married Elizabeth Chase, probably a descendant of the Chase family of Massachusetts, the ceremony being performed in Broadalbin, Fulton county, New York, where their deaths occurred. Children: John, who was a clergyman, died about a year ago in Frankfort, Indiana; William; Jabez; Elijah Norton, see forward; Lillis, who went as missionary to China and died there in November, 1910. Of the two sons, William and Jabez, one was a clergyman, now deceased, and the other a physician at Pensacola, Florida.

He married Lorinda Kamp, born September 7, 1815, and they moved from Broadalbin to Ohio. Children: John Henry, Mary Elizabeth, Martha Ann, above mentioned as the wife of Wallace Ingalls, Elisha, Myra, Joseph, and probably others.

(The Dake Line)

Ancient history records the acts of members of the Dake family. In the second century, Yeruato, son of the emperor of Japan, was a mighty warrior and never met defeat in battle. There are many traces of him still to be found in Japan, showing his greatness and telling mutely of his success. Descendants settled in Europe and intermarried with other nationalities. In Austria-Hungary members especially distinguished themselves. Francis Dake, a descendant of the Japanese hero, was mainly instrumental in procuring for Hungary a semi-independent form of government, and in 1876, the year of his death, he was given a national funeral. In America the family was planted prior to the year 1630, the first arrival being in 1628. The men were loyal soldiers in the various wars waged by the colonies and states. Charles Dake and his son William were with Washington at Yorktown. In New York state William Dake was an early settler in Livingston county, in 1817, where a monument has recently been erected to his memory, at Picket Line. Charles, the revolutionary soldier, heretofore mentioned, settled at Daketown prior to the revolution. One, George Deake, is said to have built the first fortification at what is now Portland, Maine. The Dakes have been in Monroe county since its first settlement by white men, while Dr. Luke Dake, of Penfield, was the first physician there, and for a long time the only one within twenty miles. He was the first person to be buried in Oakwood cemetery of that place, in 1812. The Dake name is a familiar one in Rochester, New York, in the professions, in business, and in the trades. The late William Dake was supervisor of the fourteenth ward of that city, in 1868-72.
