licensed by the presbytery in 1801. In 1802 he be- came pastor of a church in Baltimore, Md., which charge he held till his death. In 1814 he was moderator of the general assembly of his denomi- natiuii. The degree of D. D. was conferred on hi in by Princeton in 1811. Dr. Inglis was an elo- quent preacher, and published various occasional Bermons, and a volume of his discourses, accom- panied by forms of prayer, appeared after his death (1820). — His son, John Auchincloss, jurist, b. in Baltimore, Md., 26 Aug., 1813 ; d. there, 26 Aug., 1878, was graduated at Dickinson in 1831, studied law, and began to practise in Cheraw, S. 0. He be- came judge of the court of common pleas and gen- eral sessions, and of the supreme court of appeals, and was also appointed one of the four chancellors of the state. He was president of the State con- vention that adopted the ordinance of secession, and drafted that document. His house and library were destroyed by Sherman's army in the burning of Columbia in 1864. In 1868 he removed to Bal- timore, where he entered into practice, and in 1870 he accepted a professorship in the law department of the University of Maryland. In 1874 he was appointed judge of the orphan's court, and he was re-elected in 1875. Shortly before his death he was appointed by the board of trade a judge of the new court of arbitration. Judge Inglis was active in religious matters, and for several years before his death served as a ruling elder in a Pres- byterian church in Baltimore.
INGLIS, Mary, the first white woman in Ken-
tucky, b. in 1729 ; d. in 1813. In 1756 one of the
extreme frontier settlements of Virginia, on Alle-
ghany ridge (now Montgomery county, W. Va.),
was attacked by a party of Shawnee Indians, who
massacred some of the inhabitants and made others
captives. Among the latter were Mrs. Inglis, with
her two sons and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Draper.
They were carried down the Kanawha to the In-
dian towns at the mouth of Scioto river, where her
children were separated from her. Mrs. Inglis
won great favor among the savages by her skill in
making shirts out of the checked fabrics that they
had purchased of French traders. The separation
from her sons and the cruelty of the savages finally
decided her to attempt her escape, and she per-
suaded another prisoner, an old Dutch woman, to
join her. Obtaining leave to gather grapes, they
disappeared in the woods and underbrush and set
out on their journey, following the Ohio valley
140 miles back to a point opposite the Scioto towns.
They were fortunate enough to find an old horse
grazing on the Kentucky side, and to secure some
corn and meat for their further journey. Pressing
on to the Virginia line, they found Big Sandy river
impassable. Turning their course up the stream,
they came to a raft of trees and logs which stretched
across the river. Over this they passed, but, unfor-
tunately, lost their horse. After they had wandered
on toward the Kanawha, their store of provisions
was exhausted and they were forced to live upon
grapes, walnuts, papaws, and roots. In this ex-
treme of suffering the Dutch woman became fran-
tic with hunger and exposure, and finally, after
repeated threats, made a deadly assault upon Mrs.
Inglis. Escaping her fury, the latter wandered by
moonlight along the banks of the Kanawha, and
found an old Indian canoe, in which she crossed to
the opposite shore. At daylight her companion
discovered her situation and begged piteously to
be carried over also ; but this Mrs. Inglis dared
not risk. She started alone up the Kanawha, and
soon found a clearing and a settler's cabin, whence
a party was sent back and returned in safety with
the Dutch woman. The captives had been over
forty days in their flight through the wilderness,
during which they traversed a distance of more
than 400 miles. One of the little boys died in cap-
tivity, and the other was ransomed after remaining
thirteen years among the savages. Mrs. Inglis's
daughters married men who became distinguished
in the history of Virginia and Kentucky.
INGRAHAM, Duncan Nathaniel, naval officer, b. in Charleston, S. C, 6 Dec. 1802 ; d. in Charleston. S. C, 16 Oct.. 1891. His father. Nathaniel, was in the action with the British brig " Serapis," and his uncle, Capt. Joseph Ingraham, was lost at sea in the U. S. ship "Pickering." Duncan Nathaniel entered the XT. S. navy as a midshipman
in June, 1812, and became lieutenant, 1 April, 1818; commander, 24 May, 1838; and captain, 14 Sept., 1855. While commanding the sloop-of-war " St. Louis," in the Mediterranean, he interfered at Smyrna, in July, 1853, with the Austrian consul's detention of Martin Koszta, who had resided nearly two years in the United States and declared his intention of becoming an American citizen. He had
come to Smyrna from New York on business intending soon to return, but on 21 June, 1853, he
was seized by a party of armed Greeks that were
employed by the Austrian consul-general and con-
fined on board the "Hussar." After learning the
facts from the prisoner Capt. Ingraham addressed
a letter on this subject to John P. Brown, the
charge d'affaires of the United States in Con-
stantinople, who gave the official opinion that the
surrender of Koszta should be demanded. On 2
July, at 8 a. m., Capt. Ingraham claimed of the
Austrian commander the release of Koszta by
4 p. m., declaring that he would otherwise take him
by force. At the same time the decks of the " St.
Louis " were cleared for action, and all was made
ready for an attack on the " Hussar," which was
much her superior in size and armament. At 11
a. m. the Austrian consul-general proposed to de-
liver Koszta to the French consul, to be held by
him subject to the disposition of the U. S. and
Austrian consuls. This was accepted by Capt.
Ingraham as giving sufficient assurance of the per-
sonal safety of the Hungarian, and Koszta was
soon released and returned to the United States.
This affair gave rise to an elaborate discussion in
Washington between Sec. William L. Marcy and
M. Hulsemann, the charge d'affaires of Austria.
The conduct of Capt. Ingraham was fully approved
by the U. S. government, and on 4 Aug., 1854, con-
gress, by joint resolution, requested the president
to present him with a medal. In March, 1856, he
was appointed chief of the bureau of ordnance and
hydrography of the navy department. When the
civil war began, in 1861, he was in command of
the flag-ship " Richmond " in the Mediterranean.
He resigned his commission, and entered the Con-
federate naval service, being chief of ordnance, con-
struction and repair, and in which he rose to the
rank of commodore. He served in every war since-
the Revolution, and was said to be the last sur-
vivor of those that entered the navy in 1812. He
married Harriet, granddaughter of Henry Laurens.
INGRAHAM, Edward Duncan, lawyer, b. in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1793; d. there, 4 Nov., 1854. He received his education at the University of Pennsylvania, studied law under Alexander J. Dallas, and was admitted to the bar in 1813. He was a member of the Free-trade convention that
was held in Philadelphia in 1831. In 1834 he became secretary of a committee that was appointed by the house of representatives to investigate the affairs of the IT. S. bank, and held this office until
