m. 1754 Falmouth, Cumberland, Maine
FURTHER INFORMATION:
I [Samuel] married (intention recorded at Falmouth, Me., 27 Dec. 1754) SARAH ELWELL, who was living at Addison in 1778 and probably in 1799 ...
... The census of the plantation, 27 Apr. 1778, shows “Widow Knowles,” with four in her family, and William Ingersoll, with two in his family, living in the same house or next door. These figures agree with what can be gathered from other sources, viz., that his children were two sons and two daughters.
