He was a soldier in the American Army in the War of 1812, belonging to it when Buffalo was burned. While walking on the banks of Lake Erie in the woods, he saw a boat load of Englishmen coming across the water. At the same time he had just met a neighbor, Mr. Sallsburg. One of them had balls and no powder and the other had powder, but not balls. While they were talking a redcoat came up the bank. Mr. Sallsburg fired. the fellow ran back and it was supposed told that the woods were full of men for they fled leaving a number of guns on the beach." (Eric Co. History)

Mr. Ingersoll was among the pioneers of this section, having settled at Eighteen Mile Creek with his father in the spring of 1810. He served his country in the War of 1812; was at home on a furlough at the time Buffalo was burned, and during the war his father's house and premises were plundered by the British of nearly all their movable possessions. Shortly after the close of the war he commenced for himself by obtaining an article of 30 acres of land in the wilderness near his father's.
