There is nothing to indicate he was the son of John Ingram.
Was he the same as John Ingram, son of Robert Ingram, of St Ives in Huntingdonshire?
Family Possibilities: John, a witness to and mentioned in the will of Joseph Ingram, is likely the brother of Joseph Ingram of St. Ives, Huntingdonshire, England who immigrated to the Virginia Colony. This John died six months after the death of Joseph Ingram of the same region.

John Ingram was born in England.
John was born about 1615 in England to Robert Ingram. He immigrated to the Colony of Virginia about 1652 based on Land Patent excerpts of the Irish names from the Greer list. John and Richard Flint were credited with the transport of 8 persons. [1] On the 5th of March 1651 he promised to deliver aboard the "Margaret of London" Tobacco of Thomas Hawkins upon receipt of 88 hhds, which indicates he was a Merchant. [2] On the 11th of April 1652 he is named as a merchant who signed an Oath of Engagement [3] to do business with the Commonwealth of England and sold a Cow to Capt. Hen Fleet of Lancaster County on the 29th of January 1653. [2] There is a Court Case in 1652-1655, Northumberland, Colony of Virginia. Thomas Hawkins vs. John Ingram: it was ruled that Hawkins pay Ingram 350 lbs. tobacco thus: 100 lbs. for 6 days' work performed in Hawkin's employment, 250 for a "boate and 2 men 5 days the Journey being occasioned by a causeless suite by the 20 November next".
