 John James Ingalls, A Kansas Portrait
His name was John James Ingalls, and he came to Kansas in 1858, lured by a colorful lithograph of a town which was more promise than actuality.
Ingalls was a member of the 1859 Wyandotte Constitutional Convention, the one which devised the constitution under which our state now functions, held other political offices, and for 18 years (1873 - 1891), represented Kansas in the United States Senate.
Probably no other individual had a more eminent knowledge and greater understanding of the ins and outs of Kansas politics during the first 50 years of statehood, and any words of his on the subject are well worth noting.

As a result of this disclosure, Ingalls was elected, in January 1873, by the joint convention of the legislature.
With his record on pension legislation and his baiting of the South, Ingalls made himself the idol of the Kansas G.A.R. This was his political strength, for he was not so much the controlling leader of the party machine in the state as he was its figurehead.

The tens of millions of adoring fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books and of the television series based on them should be grateful that the Osages didn’t dismember her when they had the chance.

In 1865, the Osages ceded under pressure nearly 4 million acres on the northern and eastern perimeters of their reservation, and in 1868 were forced to agree to sell their 8-million-acre “diminished reserve,” as the government called the remainder of their land, to a railroad corporation for 19 cents an acre.

 Ingalls
Laura Ingalls Wilder is descended from Edmund Ingalls.
I had hoped to do a grand unified genealogy of all the Ingalls descendents, but was ultimately daunted by sheer numbers--the Ingalls have been having families of often ten-plus children per generation in America for 375 years, with many, many first names repeated in every family making it extremely difficult to determine who was who.
One family I was interested in tracking down was another Ingalls family in Pepin, Wisconsin at the time Charles and Caroline Ingalls lived there--they turned out to be distant relatives of Laura's family, as did an Ingalls family in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
