Notes from A Genealogy of The Ingersoll Family in America 1629 - 1925, Comprising Descendents of Richard Ingersoll of Salem, Massachusetts, John Ingersoll of Westfield, Mass., and John Ingersoll of Huntington, Long Island, Compiled by Lillian Drake Avery of Pontiac, Michigan, Frederick H. Hitchcock, The Grafton Press, Genealogical Publishers, New York, New York, 1926:

P. 153-4:

born Dec. 1, 1759, at Great Barrington; married Dec. 13, 1781, Sarah Parson, daughter of Elihu and Sarah (Edwards) Parsons, born Sept. 8, 1760 at Stockbridge and died Aug. 30, 1837 at her home in Lee. She was a woman of fine character and in every way worthy of her illustrious ancestry. Her father was a descendant of Cornet Joseph Parsons, who was one of the founders of Northampton and a man of wealth and unusual business qualifications. Her mother was Sarah, the oldest daughter of Jonathon and Sarah (Pierrepont) Edwards, whose ancestry can be traced to Cedric and Charlemagne.
       David Ingersoll lived on a farm in Lee, where he raised his family of thirteen children. There was a marble quarry on the farm from which was taken the doorstep and mantels in the old home. He is described as a man of medium height, fair complexion, blue eyes and brown hair. After his children came to Michigan he felt anxious to see them before he died. The long-planned visit was made about 1834, and he seemed much pleased with the new country. Such a trip as this, from Massachusetts to Michigan in those days was quite an undertaking for an old gentleman of 75.
       "My grandfather, David Ingersoll of Lee, had a large orchard, made nice cider which was pressed into large white marble troughs made from stone on his farm. I remember riding on the mill beam. He found so many were getting drunk from his cider, he cut down all the trees except those needed for the family. (Harriet Ingersoll of Berea, O.)
       On the farm of David Ingersoll, where now is the quarry of Warren P. Wilde, the stone lay in strata near the surface and there Mr. Ingersoll got it out in considerable quantity, but mainly for hearth and step stones. The older inhabitants remember the two large and beautiful specimens of marble from the quarry which Mr. Ingersoll got out for the horseblock of the church built in 1800.
       Many of the step stones of the present residences of the town were quarried by Mr. Ingersoll in the olden time and are fine specimens of marble. (Page 302, Hist. of Lee.)
       He was a deacon in the Congregational Church, chosen 1812, and threee of his sons were clergymen. He died in Lee, Jan. 26, 1839, aged 79.
