[33] "The Relation of Brother John Ingerson" as recorded by Edward Taylor, minister at Westfield, states, [34] [35]
I being brought by Godly Parents, who tooke great pains & Care to bring me out of a State of Nature into a State of Grace in watching over me, in keeping me from Sin, & Sabbothbreaking, in bringing me to attend the word preached, read, & in Cathechising I'd little regard itt, but onely for fear of them. The first time, to my rememberance, that God met with me was by a Sermon I heard at Darby in old England upon Ps. 15.1,2 ["Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart."] when I was about 18 years old, whereby I was Convinct that as yet I was none that should inherit the holy Hill of Zion, but I thought I would labour to be one that Should. But this Conviction was soon over & I went on in my Sin & vanity still. & tho' I met with many Conviction that my State was bad, & was in many dangers both at sea, & land; & I saw I must Repent, & become a new Creature if ever I ment to be Saved, yet I put repentance off till afterwards. But being under Mr. Stones Ministry I was convincd that the time was come that I must not put Repentance off any longer, for the Lord had granted me the thing wherein my excuses lay & therefore I set upon Duties, & reformed in many things, & having a book of Mr. Jeremiah Burroughs I read much in it, about Faith, & Hope, & was much incouraged, till I met with an Expression thus, that if my Hopes were not such as would stand with every line of the word of God at the day of Judgment they would availe me nothing. Then being troubled I threw the book a side for a while thinking that altho' he was a good man he was too Strict, & mistaken therein. & that I did believe, & that he that did believe should be saved & therefore my State was good. But coming to Northampton I heard Mr. Mather the first time upon that, that in the world ye shall have trouble, but in Christ you may & shall have peace, which incouraged me for a while. But afterwards his preaching did not please me but I thot I would keep my hopes. And the Lord visiting me with sickness that I was neer death, yet I thot I was well enough prepared for death & was not willing to hear to the Contrary: But the Lord in great mercy was pleased not to take me away in that Condition. But remaining still Confident of my good Estat, I, as I was on atime into the meadow to work, thot nothing should dash my hopes thereof. But presently the thoughts of [blank] who murdered himselfe Coming into my mind, I for a while much wondered at it. But my thots soon runing thus, What if God should leave me? then I should do so. & the temptation came so hard upon me that God would leave me, & I should certainly dy such a death; be guilty of mine own Blood, & be damned irreconcilably, that I was not able to go on to my business; but returning home, the temptation prevaild more, & more upon me, & I was filled with horrour of Conscience, the Lord did so manifest his wrath & Displeasure against me: & my Sins were like mountains ready to sink me down into Hell every moment. & not being able in the night to sleep, was forced to rise up at midnight, & Call up my Father in Law, who hearing how it was with me, & that I feared I had sinned the unpardonable Sin; & that there were no Hopes of mercy, gave me good Counsell, & prayed with me. & after having some abatement I returned home, & remain'd in that Condition: But the Lord after awile was pleased to abate the temptation, & his wrath a little. & I fell to reading & praying in Secret; being incouraged to look to Jesus Christ for mercy. But Mr. Mathers Ministry was like daggers in my heart. For when I was labouring to lay hold on Christ, as I thot, by Faith, it did so rip up my State in such a way as dashed my hopes, whereby, me thot, I was one that went about to Establish mine own Righteousness, & to have something of mine own to Carry me to Christ. Wherefore I Studied upon what terms Christ was to be had, I prayed, Searched the Scriptures, & attended all duties; but could find no way to get a pardon, of Sin, & peace with God, but by Repentance of all Sin, & a Closing with Jesus Christ by Faith. I thot I was willing to part with all Sin, & would gladly be delivered from it, as seing what a Condition it had brought me into. As for the world, I accounted it not worth regarding, so I could but get an Intrest in Christ Jesus. But how to believe I knew not. I heard many Descriptions of Faith, yet could not tell what it was, nor how to gett it. Mr. Mather being upon the work of Humiliation said be humble enough, & good enough; I thot it was the Pride of my heart, that I was so impatient; & could not wait Gods time. I saw there was hopes of mercy for me in Jesus Christ. He came into the world to save his people from their Sins: With him the Fatherless finde Mercy; He gives gifts to Rebellious ones; the Chiefe of Sinners. He Is able to Save all to the uttmost, & will by no means cast off any that come to him. & tho' I could not come to him of myselfe, yet he is able to bring me to, & keep me with, himselfe, then reading that Isa. thou has brought me no Sweet Cane - but hast made me to serve with thy Sins; yet I am he that blotteth out all thy Sins for my names sake. Whereupon I found myself willing, & was inabled to Cast myselfe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, to give up myselfe & all unto him; to leave my Sins, & Corruptions to him to do as he pleased. & So to leave myselfe with him, let him do, what he would with me. & if I did perish at last, yet it should be in his way, remembring Peters words, Lord to whom should we go thou hast the words of Etemall Life.
Greene comments concerning John Ingersoll's relation, [36]
This relation begins conventionally enough: all Puritans who commented on the fact had "Godly Parents." The "Mr. Stone" whose ministry persuaded Ingersoll to make one of several attempts at repentance was the Rev. Samuel Stone of Hartford, and Ingersoll's statement that "the Lord had granted me the thing wherein my excuses lay" is probably a reference to his first marriage. The annotators of the relation identify the work that made Ingersoll consider the English Puritan divine Jeremiah Burroughs "a good man" but "too Strict" as Gospel-Revelation in Three Treatises (London, 1660). In Northampton, however, we move beyond the conventional, and we gain sharp insight into the personality of John Ingersoll, for it was there that he entered into intense spiritual and psychological agony, for such it certainly was. The Northampton minister, the Rev. Eleazer Mather, first displeased Ingersoll, probably because Ingersoll was already satisfied with his spiritual condition. Even a severe illness did not change his mind. But one day, while working in the meadow, he thought about an unnamed individual who had committed suicide, and he was so strongly tempted to do so himself that he could not sleep that night and awoke his father-in-law to share his agony. Thomas Bascom prayed with him until the suicidal temptation had abated. [Greene relates in a footnote that it could not have been Thomas Lord who prayed with John Ingersoll, for he had died several years before his daughter Dorothy became John Ingersoll's first wife.] The rest of the relation becomes conventional again as Ingersoll describes his acceptance of the Puritan view of salvation. Ingersoll's morbid desire to destroy himself would today be called clinical depression. But giving it another name does not change the agony and despair that he experienced. In describing it in such gripping terms, John Ingersoll gives us greater insight than we could ever expect into the sufferings of an ordinary individual now dead for over three hundred years.

Research Notes:
Charles Stedman Ripley provides an account of John Ingersoll's adult life and descendants, but Ripley's assumption that John Ingersoll was a brother of immigrant Richard Ingersoll has been shown to be incorrect. [49] [50]
It has generally been believed that John Ingersol's third wife Mary Hunt was the mother of his son Thomas, born March 28, 1668. Ripley states, [51]
In 1666 John removed with his family to Woronoco, which was the Indian name by which Westfield, Massachusetts, was then known. In April of the same year, and soon after his arrival at Woronoco, his wife Abigail died, leaving four more daughters for John to care for.
During the following year, 1667, he married a third wife. She was Mary Hunt, a daughter of John Hunt, and a sister of Jonathan Hunt of Northampton. The name of Mary Hunt's mother previous to her marriage was Mary Webster. She was a daughter of John Webster, one of the first settlers of Hartford, and the fifth governor of the Colony of Connecticut, chosen in 1656. He was from County Warwick, England, and settled in Hartford with his wife Agnes and several children in 1636. Noah Webster, LL. D., author of Webster's Dictionary, was born in Hartford, and was a descendant of Mary Hunt's grandfather.
It is recorded in the town book of Westfield that in the year 1666 land was granted to John Ingersoll and others, and that he settled there in that year. In 1679 he was one of the "Seven Pillars" or "Foundation Men," who united to form the church at Westfield.
By his wife Mary, there were born in Westfield eight children, seven sons and one daughter, and their names and dates of birth may be found in the Town Records of Westfield.
VIII. Thomas, born March 28, 1668. …
Avery, A genealogy of the Ingersoll family in America, 1629-1925, [52], copied Ripley almost verbatim. Neither Ripley nor Avery provides detailed sources for their statements. We know that there are at least three errors in the above passage from Ripley. Mary Hunt's father was not John Hunt; his name was Thomas Hunt. Mary Hunt's mother's maiden name was not Mary Webster; it was Margaret Webster. Governor John Webster was not from County Warwick, England. He was from Cossington in Leicestershire, England.
Greene [53] also states that John Ingersoll's second wife Abigail died in April 1666, "and he married, third, Mary Hunt; this marriage must have occurred about 1667, since they had a child in 1668. He settled about 1666 in what became Westfield, where he died on 3 September 1684; his widow died on 18 August 1690." For these statements, Greene cites Emerson Davis, "A Record of Marriages, Births and Deaths in Westfield, Mass., Prior to the Year 1700." [54]
Davis does not mention the death of Abigail. He states, "John Ingersoll, wife Mary; chn. Thomas, b. March 28, 1668 …" Thus it appears that Davis assumed that all of the children born in Westfield were by Mary, but in the Westfield record, the name of the mother is not stated except for the last two children. [55]
If Abigail died in April of 1666, then Mary would be the mother of Thomas born in 1668. But if Abigail died in April of 1668, then Abigail would be the mother of Thomas, born March 28, 1668. Dying shortly after the birth of a child would not be surprising in this time and place.
I first noticed the death date of Abigail (Bascom) Ingersoll as April 1668, rather than April 1866, in the family tree of Beth Bauchet on FamilySearch. Beth cited a handwritten transcription of the Springfield records. [56] The record is in the middle on the right-hand page. Clearly the transcriber thought the year was 1668. In the original record, the year is difficult to read. [57]
One of the online documents provided by the Westfield Athenaeum (http://edwin.westath.org/about) is Emerson Davis' copy of a record about the granting of land by "the Spingfield committee" in July 1666, http://edwin.westath.org/archive/files/85f815639cb010f7d068c806c4e7b287.jpg. This may refer to grants of land in Woronoco, perhaps suggesting that the settlement happened about July 1666, but perhaps not by April 1666.
Another set of documents provided by the Westfield Athenaeum is a notebook of transcriptions by Joseph Bartlett about the settlement in Westfield, http://edwin.westath.org/items/show/317. These transcriptions suggest that John Ingersol was settled in Woronoco by January of 1668, one of the first few to settle there. Others who had been granted land were given until November of 1668 to get settled and build their shares of fence. Joseph Bartlett did not use double dating, but I think the order and content of his notes suggests that the January 1668 item is for what we usually write as January 1667/68 for clarity.
