Biography* Joseph Gaston Ingram was a Methodist minister, circuit rider. It is said that his circuit was the bordering counties of south central MS and AL, thus the reason that he seemed to be constantly on the move. I first found him in 1820 in Covington Co MS, 1830 he is in Marengo Co AL, 1840 in Washington Co, AL, 1850 in Newton Co MS and back 'home' to Covington Co MS in 1860, where he died about 1881. He was buried in family plot in a field called the Ingraham Cemetery. Unfortunately, the land was later sold and the owner 'pushed off' the land to make grazing land. No visible sign of the little burial ground exists.
