Duncan Ingraham SQUIRE DUNCAN INGRAHAM Concord’s Tories were the Reverend Daniel Bliss of 1st Parish Church and his attorney son Daniel Bliss, Junior, Dr. Joseph Lee, Squire Duncan Ingraham, Colonel Charles Prescott, and Captain Jonas Minott. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD: SQUIRE DUNCAN INGRAHAM 1715 In Concord, John Heald, Benjamin Whittemore, William Wheeler, Joseph Dakin, and William Wilson were Selectmen. Ordinarily, Concord’s five selectmen acted as Overseers of the Poor and as Assessors, but in this period there was in addition a board of five Overseers of the Poor. In Concord, William Wilson continued as Town Clerk. In Concord, Samuel Jones was Treasurer. In Concord from this point forward, every man married in town during the year was chosen “to observe the law relating to swine” (hog-reeves, as they would come to be called in 1721). Also, until 1722, Samuel Jones would be the Town Treasurer. A fulling mill1 was in existence by this date on the site of an old bog iron works, toward the west end of Concord, and was supervised by Lot Conant, Jr. and his descendants. The only structures to the west of this mill building were the small separated shacks and sheds of the powder mills, separate so that they would only 1. Fulling is from the Old French fuler meaning “to tread upon.” Before the development of fulling mills, homespun woolen cloths would be put in a tub and saturated with soap, and groups would join hands and stomp “fuller’s earth” –a clay that absorbs grease– into the cloth in the tub to remove some of its lanolin and to compact it. After this cleaning and felting, the cloths would be stretched over frames to block as they dried. Then the new cloths would be laid over poles and “curried” with the dry seedpods of the teasel (Dipsacus laciniatus, a member of the daisy family), which are covered with hooked spines that raise the nap. Then the cloths would be wrapped around a cylinder and the raised nap would be evened, using a shears with long blades weighing up to 60 pounds. In fulling mills driven by water power, clean feet were replaced by wooden pestles, plunging up and down. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD: SQUIRE DUNCAN INGRAHAM blow up one little group of powder workers at a time. “I, Concord, have power, take notice / To carry towns and move millstones / Yes, I am an invincible one for all enemies / But sighing and weeping will overwhelm those who crush my followers / And they will lose their refuge with great shame / As has become clear in various lands / But whoever loves me and keeps me in mind / He must lock up Discord / Or otherwise he’ll find himself deceived in the end.” In this year Concord kept a grammar school for the education of its young, for only one quarter, in different parts of the town, and the total cost of this was £40. Although the Ingraham family is not listed in the assessor’s list for Concord of 1747, actually Squire Duncan Ingraham would come from a family that had been present in Concord prior to this year. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD: SQUIRE DUNCAN INGRAHAM 1726 November 29, Tuesday (Old Style): Duncan Ingraham was born in Boston, a son of Joseph Ingraham and Mary Ingraham. Although the Ingraham family is not listed in the assessor’s list for Concord, Massachusetts of 1747, actually Joseph Ingraham had come from a family that had been present in Concord prior to 1715. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD: SQUIRE DUNCAN INGRAHAM 1730 December 27, Sunday (Old Style): Mary Minot was born in Concord, Massachusetts, a daughter of the Reverend Timothy Minot (who for more than 4 decades was Concord’s schoolmaster) with Mary Brooks Minot. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD: SQUIRE DUNCAN INGRAHAM 1747 In Concord, Samuel Heywood, James Minott, Jr., John Jones, Ephraim Jones, and Samuel Minot were Selectmen. In Concord, Samuel Heywood was again Town Clerk. Ephraim Jones was Concord’s deputy and representative to the General Court. Chambers Russell of Concord was serving as Judge of the Court of Common Pleas and of the Court of Vice- Admiralty. James Minott of Concord was an Assistant and Counsellor. Although the Ingraham family is not listed in the assessor’s list for Concord of this year, actually Squire Duncan Ingraham had come from a family that had been present in the town since prior to 1715. The plot now occupied by Concord’s Wright Tavern had been owned by the Reverend Peter Bulkeley, then by Timothy and George Wheeler, and then was given by Timothy Wheeler to the town of Concord. In this year HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD: SQUIRE DUNCAN INGRAHAM the town sold the lot and whatever tavern structure was then on it to its town clerk and selectman and militia captain Ephraim Jones, who would soon have the present public house constructed. The town selectmen would dine and drink there at municipal expense while meeting in the community interest. Ephraim Jones would sell the property to Thomas Munroe of Lexington in 1751, who would sell it to Samuel Swan who would rent it to Amos Wright in 1775 (hence the name it now bears). It would eventually be willed by Judge Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar and Reuben Rice to the “First Parish Society.” You can inspect it in the background of the famous painting by Doolittle and Earle, of the redcoats standing in Concord Square — or if you are thirsty you should stop by and wet your whistle: HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD: SQUIRE DUNCAN INGRAHAM 1749 December 7, Thursday (Old Style): Duncan Ingraham, who had prospered in Boston as a sea captain in the Surinam trade and as a slave trader, got married with Susanna Blake, daughter of Henry Blake and Susanna Newell (although Susanna had been born on November 10th, 1724 in Boston, she was a wealthy widow who had resided in Concord). This union would produce Susannah Ingraham Geyer, Duncan Ingraham, Jr., Mary Ingraham Condy, Henry Ingraham, Nathaniel Ingraham, Joseph Ingraham, and Francis Ingraham. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD: SQUIRE DUNCAN INGRAHAM 1750 September 25, Tuesday (Old Style): Susannah Ingraham was born to Duncan Ingraham and Susanna Blake Ingraham (she would get married with Frederick William Geyer of Boston, and that couple would produce Charlotte von Geyer, who would be the mother of the British novelist and naval officer Captain Frederick Marryat).

HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CONCORD: SQUIRE DUNCAN INGRAHAM 1753 2 November: In MEN OF CONCORD it is recorded how Cato Ingraham dealt with a problem dog that had killed turkeys and cows, and bitten someone: The next that was heard of him, Black Cato, that lived at the Lee place, now Sam Wheeler’s, on the river, was waked up about midnight by a noise among the pigs, and, having got up, he took a club and went out to see what was the matter. ETC. Cato worked as a day laborer and he and his wife Philis evidently during their old age would have a guest room in their home near Goose Pond which they made available to transients of color. George Washington led an expedition west from Virginia to challenge French claims to the Allegheny River Valley. 2.“Cato, the slave of Duncan Ingraham who lived next to Daniel Bliss on what is now called Walden Street.” I don’t know whether this means that Cato and his wife lived alone at that location, or whether Squire Duncan Ingraham lived at that location and they had a cottage on his estate. Ingraham had been the captain of a seagoing vessel and it is said that he had engaged in the slave trade. During the American revolution he favored the British cause. CATO INGRAHAM HDT WHAT?

He would serve as a volunteer officer on Captain John Paul Jones’s USS Bonhomme Richard during its 1779 battle with HMS Serapis. The US federal Congress would present Ingraham with one of the 3 medals it awarded for this action and with a silver cup made from the prize money of the Bonhomme Richard. He was John Paul’s best friend and, at the point of the Captain’s death due to kidney inflammation in Paris in 1792, his friend would present him with the bronze medal awarded by the US federal Congress for the action against the Serapis.

  • Review Article
    Review Article GHRISTON ARCHER Voyages of the "Columbia" to the Northwest Coast 1787-1790 and 1790- 1793, edited by Frederic W. Howay. Portland: Oregon Historical Society Press, 1990. xxvii, 518 pp. $40.00 U.S. cloth. The republication of Judge Frederic W. Howay's 1941 work on the voy­ ages of Columbia Rediviua and the sloop Washington occurs at a time of heightened bicentennial interest in the early explorations of the Northwest Coast. Although additional documents and many studies have appeared in the nearly half century since Howay compiled the two logs of Robert Haswell, John Hoskin's narrative, John Boit's log, and many supporting documents from the expeditions, the volume retains its importance as a primary source on the American explorations into the treacherous waters and diplomacy of the Northwest Coast and the difficulties for entre­ preneurs involved in the trans-Pacific trade in sea otter skins. Of great importance, perhaps even beyond Howay's own interest in the native cultures, the American accounts provide significant information on the Northwest Coast cultures and the shocks to their societies provoked by the European commercial activities. Despite the existence of good documentation by their subordinates, Captains John Kendrick and Robert Gray were both enigmatic figures whose goals and ideas remain unclear. Neither of the commanders kept personal journals to explain their motives, and both were highly control versial in important parts of their Northwest Coast adventures. Like many other captains involved in North Pacific exploration, John Kendrick was an impractical dreamer whose ideas led to inevitable financial disasters and conflicts rather than to the formation of a new commercial empire.

  • Cole, Douglas. Sigismund Bacstrom's Northwest Coast Drawings and An
    Sigismund Bacstrom's Northwest Coast Drawings and an Account of his Curious Career DOUGLAS COLE Among the valuable collections of British pictures assembled by Mr. Paul Mellon is a remarkable series of "accurate and characteristic original Drawings and sketches" which visually chronicle "a late Voyage round the World in 1791, 92, 93, 94 and 95" by one "S. Bacstrom M.D. and Surgeon." Of the five dozen or so drawings and maps, twenty-nine relate to the northwest coast of America. Six pencil sketches of northwest coast subjects, in large part preliminary versions of the Mellon pictures, are in the Provincial Archives of British Columbia, while a finished watercolour of Nootka Sound is held by Parks Canada.1 Sigismund Bacstrom was not a professional artist. He probably had some training but most likely that which compliments a surgeon and scientist rather than an artist, His drawings are meticulous and precise, with great attention to detail and individuality. He was not concerned with the representative scene or the typical specimen. In his native portraits he does not tend to draw, as Cook's John Webber had done, "A Man of Nootka Sound" who would characterize all Nootka men; Bacstrom drew Hatzia, a Queen Charlotte Islands chief, and his wife and son as they sat before him on board the Three Brothers in Port Rose on Friday, 1 March 1793. The strong features of the three natives are neither flattered nor romanticized, and while the picture may not be "beautiful," it possesses a documentary value far surpassing the majority of eighteenth-century drawings of these New World natives.

  • Ka'iana, the Once Famous "Prince of Kaua'i3
    DAVID G. MILLER Ka'iana, the Once Famous "Prince of Kaua'i3 KA'IANA WAS SURELY the most famous Hawaiian in the world when he was killed in the battle of Nu'uanu in 1795, at the age of 40. He was the first Hawaiian chief who had traveled abroad, having in 1787-1788 visited China, the Philippines, and the Northwest Coast of America. In China, according to Captain Nathaniel Portlock, "his very name [was] revered by all ranks and conditions of the people of Canton."1 Books published in London in 1789 and 1790 by Portlock and Captain John Meares about their voyages in the Pacific told of Ka'iana's travels, and both included full-page engravings of the handsome, muscular, six-foot-two chief arrayed in his feathered cloak and helmet, stalwartly gripping a spear (figs. 1 and 2). Meares, on whose ships Ka'iana had sailed, captioned the portrait as "Tianna, a Prince of Atooi" (Kaua'i) and made Ka'iana "brother to the sovereign" of Kaua'i, a central character in his narrative.2 In the early 1790s, it was Ka'iana whom many foreign voyagers had heard of and sought out when visiting the Hawaiian Islands. Islanders from Kaua'i to Hawai'i knew Ka'iana personally as a warrior chief who had resided and fought on the major islands and who shifted his allegiance repeatedly among the ruling chiefs of his time. Today, when Ka'iana is remembered at all, he is likely to be David G. Miller, a Honolulu resident, has been researching biographical information on Hawaiian chiefs and chief esses, particularly lesser-known ones.

  • Geopolitics and Environment in the Sea Otter Trade
    UC Merced UC Merced Electronic Theses and Dissertations Title Soft gold and the Pacific frontier: geopolitics and environment in the sea otter trade Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/03g4f31t Author Ravalli, Richard John Publication Date 2009 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California 1 Introduction Covering over one-third of the earth‘s surface, the Pacific Basin is one of the richest natural settings known to man. As the globe‘s largest and deepest body of water, it stretches roughly ten thousand miles north to south from the Bering Straight to the Antarctic Circle. Much of its continental rim from Asia to the Americas is marked by coastal mountains and active volcanoes. The Pacific Basin is home to over twenty-five thousand islands, various oceanic temperatures, and a rich assortment of plants and animals. Its human environment over time has produced an influential civilizations stretching from Southeast Asia to the Pre-Columbian Americas.1 An international agreement currently divides the Pacific at the Diomede Islands in the Bering Strait between Russia to the west and the United States to the east. This territorial demarcation symbolizes a broad array of contests and resolutions that have marked the region‘s modern history. Scholars of Pacific history often emphasize the lure of natural bounty for many of the first non-natives who ventured to Pacific waters. In particular, hunting and trading for fur bearing mammals receives a significant amount of attention, perhaps no species receiving more than the sea otter—originally distributed along the coast from northern Japan, the Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka peninsula, east toward the Aleutian Islands and the Alaskan coastline, and south to Baja California.
