William “Will” (1887-1963) and Minnie (1888-1962) Ingram – Cemetery Photo

Brad McCall — Sat, 22 May 2010 04:20:18 +0000

The following is the headstone of my Great Grandparents William “Will” Ingram and his wife Minnie (Nees) Ingram. I noticed on their headstone that it also lists their marriage date as the 10th of November, and I always had it in my records as the 11th. Another reminder that it’s always nice to have physical records of family memories.

Will and Minnie Ingram are buried in Stayton, Oregon in the Lone Oak Cemetery. Other members of my family from Montgomery to McCall are buried here as well.

The following is a collection of photos over the years showing the family of William “Will” Ingram, Jr. and his wife Minnie Bell (Nees) Ingram (My Great Grandparents). All but one of the daughters has passed on. Though most of them lived in different states, I always heard of how close they were. I don’t remember meeting any of them, I only knew Syble Bell Ingram Rolie, who was my Grandmother.

Brad McCall — Sat, 15 May 2010 07:10:05 +0000

Robert Lee “Bob” and Etoyl McCall were my Great Grandparents. Their son Harold Dean McCall who married Syble Ingram were my Grandparents. They are buried in the Lone Oak Cemetery in Stayton, Marion County, Oregon. I have visited there and have seen their grave. The Lone Oak Cemetery is on a nice hill on the edge of Stayton in a mostly residential neighborhood overlooking the valley. It is a very wet area with lots of rain, where nearby many of the Christmas tree farms have been torn down to build new housing developments. Bob’s father, stepmother, brother, grandson and grandaughter are also buried in this cemetery.

James “Jim” Nees Jr. (1826-1904) – Affidavits for Cherokee Citizenship

Brad McCall — Wed, 05 May 2010 00:30:42 +0000

James “Jim” Nees Jr. was my 3rd Great Grandfather and my family line continues through his son Steven Guthrie Nees (1863-1881) who married Anna Eliza Neal (1863-1935). Several people from his family applied for Cherokee Citizenship in order to claim lands in the Indian Territory before it was divided up. The applications that they submitted still cannot be found, as I and other researchers on the family name have looked for them.

They were denied Cherokee Citizenship after their initial application. I was told this was because they were not living on Indian lands at the time. This is what I suspect lead Steve G. Nees to move to the Indian Territory, and then re-apply. My Great-Grandmother Minnie Bell Nees Ingram was born in the Indian Territory in 1888.

The following are affidavits submitted on behalf of my 3rd Great-Grandfather James Nees, Jr. and his brother Frank which describe personal knowledge of him and their father James Nees, Sr. (my 4th Great Grandfather) who they describe as the “Old Cherokee” being half Indian.

There are many researchers online who are related to James Nees, Jr. with whom I’ve lost contact with. I’m hoping to get back in touch with them to assist where I can in solving this mystery. Meanwhile, I find these affidavits fascinating to read, and am grateful to have them.

My Great-Uncle Ray Daniels was kind enough to send me this photo to make a scan from a few years back. Previous to that I had no idea what my Great-Great grandparents looked like from my Ingram side. This is a photo of my 2nd Great Grandpa William N. Ingram, and his wife Mary Catherine Francis Heindselman Ingram. Ray was not sure who the boy was or the year the photo was taken, but I’d guess it was their youngest child, Earnest, and the picture was taken around 1910-1912.
