In the ELLIS COUNTY MIRROR, Thomas Middleton, Editor, DEATHS, 1896-1897, the following: "Waxahachie, Oct 1, 1896 - word has been received of the death of HAM BOYD, he and brothers Jack and Allbert were loading cattle at Ojo Caliente, Mexico, 90 miles from El Paso, when Ham was gored by a steer. It was 12 hours before he received medical attention. Mr. P.J. INGLE received a telegram Saturday stating Mr. BOYD was resting well, but a later telegram announced his death. The body was embalmed and shipped to Grandview for internment at Auburn, Ellis County. Rev C. C. NATIONS and Rev. DAVENPORT conducted the services at the grave. Miss Mary A. BOYD came from Chicago, all the family were present except the father and Johnny, who were at Janos, Mexico and out of reach of a message. There is no question that Jacob Odom Ingle, son of Peter Ingle and Jane Odom, lived in Erath County, TX, in 1863, the following: ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY, situated in the County, for 1863. Jacob O. Ingle, by Boyd. The total value was $530, Poll Tax $1.25, State Tax $1.00, County Tax $ .25.(25 cents) Since Jacob Ingle had a S-in-L by the name of Boyd, it can be reasonable concluded that his son-in-law paid the taxes.

The following from:
A MEMORIAL AND BIOGRAPPHICAL HISTORY OF JHNSON COUNTY, TEXAS, Caicago, THE LEWIS PUBLISHING COMPANY, 1892.
" SUBJECT: JACOB O. INGLE, one of the pioneer settlers of Johnson and Ellis Counties, was born in Lincoln County, Tennessee, Feb 21, 1816, a son of Peter and Jane (Odom) Ingle, natives of Georgia.(Oncorrect) Their parents came to Tennessee in an early day, and were among the first settlers of Lincoln County. The father moved from Tennesee to Alabama in 1816, settling in Jefferson County,(Mt Pinson, Mississippi Territory) near where Birmingham now stands, where he resided 11 years. He then removed to Walker County, where he remained until his death, 14 (9) November 1849. The mother (Jane Odom) of our subject died in December, 1816. They were the parents of seven children (one of these did not belong to Peter and Jane Odom - he was Andrew Jackson Ingle, a legal name established by the Alabama Legislature, Statutes of Alabama 1848, p.425, Act 401 - fhl). Their Children: WILLIAM, deceased, and a part of his family reside in this State, and the remainder are scattered; GEORGE W., deceased, and his family are also in different parts of the country; SARAH, deceased; ELIZABETH, deceased, was the wife of William Wamsley, and they had two children; PETER, deceased, and his family reside
in Marion county, Alabama; ;and J. O., our subject. After the mother's death, the father married Miss Catherine "Caty" Tune, and they had eight children, namely: John and Paul, deceased; MARTHA, wife of William Jackson,, of Alabama; MARY,b.2 Apr 1830, d. 8 Apr 1847, called Polly, deceased, was the wife of John Clements; MURRAY, b. 1838, d. 31 Jul 1864, Rome, GA, 1st AL Cav, bur. in Marietta Military Cem, grave # 1518.; Rutha, wife of Joseph Zachariah Norris; ELIZABETH, now Mrs. Van Davis, and ROBERT MILBURN All the last mentioned children reside in Alabama. Mr. Ingle (Peter) served in the State Troops, as guard on the line between Georgia and the Indians, for one year. The paternal grandfather, Paul Ingle, and the maternal grandfather, Abram Odom, were soldiers in the War for Independence, and both participated in the Battle of Cowpens. They were natives of Germany, and the father of our subject, also born in that country, was fifteen years of age when he began to learn the English language.
" J. O. Ingle, our subject, was reared on the frontier, near the Chickasaw Nation, and received no educational advantages, but by close application has enabled homself to transact the ordinary business of every day life. At the age of twenty-one years, he began life for himself as a farmer in Alabama, and his first vote was cast for Martin Van Buren, in that State in 1836. In his twenty-second year, he mmoved to Itawamba County, Mississippi, where he worked on a farm for wages two years*. and in 1839, removed to Lawrence County, Arkansas, and was engaged in the same occupation six months; in the fall of the same year, he went to Conway County, where he spent twelve months, and at that time land around Little Rock could be entered for Government prices; in 1841, removed to Saline County, near where the town of Benton now stands, where he was married; a short time afterward returned to Alabama on a visit; eighteen months later returned to Saline County, Arkansas, and in November, 1846, came in an ox wagon to Anderson County, Texas, requiring from November 7 to December 10 to make the trip. After residing in Anderson County twelve months, Mr Ingle removed to Cherokee County, where he
purchased a farm of unimproved land, and remained there untill 1861 . In that year, he removed to Erath County, and during his residence there, the Indians made several raids in the county. Mr Ingle devoted his spare time to hunting the various kinds of game that abounded in that part of the State. In the fall of 1865, he came to this county(Johnsion Co, TX), settling on a portion of the farm her now owns.
"At that time, milling was done in Ellis and Tarrant Counties; and while in Erath County, he was obliged to go to Weatherford, sixty miles distant to mill. He pair $8 per acre for his first land, and has since added to his original purchase until he now owns 343 acres, 200 acres of which is under a fine state of cultivation. He erected one of the first cotton gins in this part of the county, and he now owns a larlge steam cotton gin, where he gins an average of 400 bales annually. In addition to his farming, Mr. Ingle is engaged in the raising of improved breeds of horses and cattle.
"He was married at Bentom, Saline County, Arkansas, Januaryu 9, 1842, to Miss Jane Rodgers, a daughter of James and Mary (Speeks) Rodgers, natives of Kentucky. Their first year's "bacon" was bear meat. The parents afterward removed from that State to Tennessee, later to Alabama, in 1840 to Arkansas, in 1841 to Saline County, same State, and in 1846 came to Texas, settling in Anderson County. ( for further History of Rodgers family, see History of Ellis County.).
