13. David3 Ingersoll (Thomas,2 John1), was born Sept. 30, 1699 at Westfield; was one of the most enterprising men of the parish in its earlier years, and who perhaps exercised a wider influence than any other of its inhabitants. The first mention we find of David is as a trader of Springfield in 1731. He
Page 133
Page 134
resided for a time at Brookfield, and about 1735 at Great Barrington, and from 1739 for the next 15 years his name is connected with most of its business interests. He became owner of five rights (2000 acres) in the upper as well as a large land-holder in the lower township. With an eye to business, Mr. Ingersoll early in 1739, under a title of doubtful validity, obtained possession of the water power now occupied by the Berkshire Woolen Co., where he built a dam and erected a sawmill and gristmill, and also a forge and trip hammer for the manufacture of bar iron. These works, which were on the east bank of the river, below the bridge, were soon completed and in 1740 he made iron at his forge, from ore obtained from a bed in the neighborhood. This iron works, though small and unimportant in itself, is of interest inasmuch as this was one of the earliest attempts at manufacturing iron in western Mass. A week's product of Ingersoll's forge in 1739, as appears from his account book, was only 4 cwt. 2 qrs. 4 lbs.; the cost of labor for making the iron was fifteen shillings per cwt.; the price paid for charcoal, forty shillings per hundred bushels; and the price at which the iron was sold from seventy-five to eighty shillings per cwt., all in Old Tenor currency. This forge was worked as late as 1748, but had disappeared in 1755, when the gristmill and sawmill were still standing. (Page 156, Hist. Gt. B.) He had also a store and small stock of goods nearby and was for the time quite extensively engaged in business. Mr. Ingersoll built his house in 1739, a low, one and a half story, with a porch in front, formed by a long sloping roof. It was taken down about 1828 by the late Chas. W. Hopkins, Esq., who built the present house, standing nearly upon the site of the old one. Here Mr. Ingersoll resided for 10 years, then sold to Dea. Timothy Hopkins and removed to another part of the town. Mr. Ingersoll was the first clerk of the Upper Proprietary chosen in 1742, one of the committee for building the meeting-house and for providing a minister, and is reported to have donated the land on which the meeting-house was erected. The pews were sold to the proprietors to raise money to pay the minister. David Ingersoll bid in the first pew west of the pulpit, for which he paid œ60; also three others for which he paid 60 more. The 14 pews netted œ707 in Old Tenor Currency, which equals about $470. He was the first magistrate residing within the bounds of the parish, having been commissioned Justice of the Peace, Sept. 8, 1740, an office at that time of honor and trust which conferred dignity and importance upon its incumbent and entitled him to consideration and respect. In his individual as well as official capacity, he was engaged in the interest of some of the tenants of Livingstone Manor, who were then presumed to reside within the limits of Mass., in their quarrels with their landlord, and incurred the displeasures of Mr. Livingstone who in a letter to Lieut-Gov. Delancy, denounced him as "that wicked varlet, David Engersoll." He was Captain of the Militia and also a selectman of the town of Sheffield. Mr. Ingersoll was not permanently successful in his business enterprises and in 1755 his mills and other property were taken on execution to satisfy the demands of creditors. At about the same time, Aug. 15, 1755--in consequence of some irregularities in his official capacity as selectman of Sheffield--tradition says in a matter of wolf scalps, David Ingersoll was by order of the General Court removed from the offices of Justice of the Peace and Capt. of Militia and thereafter disqualified from holding any office of honor or profit under the government. From this time his influence waned and his name seldom appears in parish or town history. He afterwards for a time resided on his farm, south of the village, which he owned in connection with a large tract of land to the southward, the whole embracing some 5000 acres, was commonly known as "Ingersoll's great farm."
David Ingersoll was married twice. His first wife was Lydia Child, of Springfield, whom he married there March 13, 1720-1. She was born June 2, 1706, daughter of Joseph and Ruth Child. Her mother married Thomas

Ingersoll, as her third husband--her first being John Maddock. She was born Jan. 12, 1670, daughter of Caleb and Joanna (Sprague) Church and granddaughter of Richard Church and Elizabeth Warren, daughter of Richard Warren of the Mayflower. Lydia Ingersoll is supposed to have died before his removal to Great Barrington.
His second wife was Submit Horton, daughter of Thomas Horton of Springfield, whom he married there July 9, 1739. She died Nov. 23, 1770. He died March 23, 1773, in the seventy-fourth year of his age.
