        (2) Richard Ingersoll, born 16 March 1587, Edworth, Bedford, England, died 21 July 1644 Salem, Essex, Massachusets, buried 5 January 1645 Salem. He married at St. Swithin’s Church, Sands/Sandy, England, 20 October 1611 or 1616, Agnes/Ann Langley, who is said to have been a cousin of John Spencer of Newbury. She was born about 1590 in Sandy, Bedford, England and she died 30 July 1677 in Salem, Massachusetts. Ann was the daughter of Thomas Langley, born about 1548, Sandy, died 12 July 1600, and Ann, born about 1552 in Sandy, died and buried 29 July 1595, Sandy. After Richard’s death, Ann married John Knight, "Merchant tailor of Newbury." He was the father of John Knight, Jr., who married her youngest daughter, Bathsheba. Ann was John’s second or third wife. She died 30 July 1677.
        Richard and Ann Ingersoll came to Salem in 1629 with Higginson, arriving June 29. A letter from Matthew Craddock, Governor of the company, to Mr. Endicott commends "Richard Inkersall and Richard Haward" who with their families came from Bedfordshire, England.
        In the original list of householders receiving "House lotts graunted by ye town" (1638) Richard Ingersoll is given two acres, also 80 acres on the Cape Ann side. Later, there was "graunted Richard Ingersoll 30 acres of meadow in the greate meadow to be layd out by the towne."
        In 1640 Richard Ingersoll’s family is credited with nine persons and he is given an allotment of one acre.
        The old towne records state that "It is agreed that Rich’d Inkersall shall henceforth have one peny (a tyme to maintain the ferry) for every pson he doeth ferry over the north (ferry) river dureing the towns pleasure."
        He died in Salem in 1644, probably soon after making his will, 21 July 1644, of which the follwing is a copy:
 

I give to Ann my wife all my estate of land, goods, & chattells whatsoever except as followeth, viz.:
