The Ancient History of the Distinguished Surname Inkersell
The history of the most ancient Anglo/Saxon surname of Inkersall reaches far into the chronicles of the Saxon race. The Saxon Chronicles, compiled by monks in the 10th century, now reposes in the British Museum.
History researchers have examined reproductions of such ancient manuscripts as the Domesday Book (1086), the Ragman Rolls (1291-1296), the Curia Regis Rolls, the Pipe Rolls, The Hearth Rolls, parish registers, baptismal, tax records and other ancient documents. They found the first record of the name Inkersall in Derbyshire where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Different spellings were encountered in the research of your surname. Throughout the centuries your name Inkersall, occurred in many records, manuscripts and documents but not always with the exact spelling. From time to time the surname was spelt Ingersoll, Inkersoll, Inkersall, Ingersole, Ingersol and these variations in spelling frequently occurred, even between father and son. Scribes and church officials, often travelling great distances, even from other countries, frequently spelt the name phonetically. As a result the same person would be recorded differently on birth, baptismal, marriage and death certificates as well as the other numerous records recording life’s events.
The Saxon race gave birth too many English surnames not the least of which was the surname Inkersall, their home was Rhine Valley, same as far north east as Denmark. They were led by the two brothers, General/Commanders Hengist and Horsa. The Saxons settled in the country of Kent, on the south east coast of England. Gradually, they spread north and westward, and during the next four hundred years found the Ancient Britons back into Wales and Cornwall in the west and Cumberland to the north. The Angles occupied the eastern cost, the south folk in Suffolk, and north folk in Norfolk. Under the Saxon rule England prospered under a series of High Kings, the last of which was Harold.
In 1066, The Norman invasion from France occurred and their victory at the Battle of Hastings, in 1070. Duke William took an army of 40,000 north and wasted the northern counties, forcing many rebellious Norman nobles and Saxons to flee over the border into Scotland. Meanwhile, the Saxons who remained in the south were not treated well under hostile Norman rule, and may also have moved northward to the midlands, Lancashire and Yorkshire away from the Normon oppression.
Nevertheless, this notable English family name, Inkersall, emerged as an influential name into the county of Derbyshire where they were recorded as a family of great antiquity seated with manor and estates in that shire. They were recorded as lords of the manor of Inkersall in Derbyshire. By the 13th Century they had branched into Hertfordshire and to London where they held a town house. They also established a branch in Bedfordshire. They flourished on their estates for several centuries. Notable amongst the family at this time was Ingersoll of Inkersall.
The surname Inkersall, flourished during turbulent middle ages, contributing greatly to the cultural development of England. During the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th centuries England was ravaged by plagues, famine, and religious conflict. Protestantism, the newly found political fervour of Cromwellianism and democratic government, and the remnants of the Roman Church rejected all non-believers, each jealously claiming adherents to their own cause. The changing rule caused burnings, hangings and banishments of all sects and creeds, first one then the another. Many families were freely encouraged to migrate to Ireland, or to the ‘colonies’. Some were rewarded with grants of lands, others were banished.
Some families were forced to migrate to Ireland where they became known as the ‘; Adventurers’ for land in Ireland. Protestant settlers ‘undertook’ to keep their faith, being granted lands previously owned by the Catholic Irish. There is no evidence that the family name migrated to Ireland, but this does not preclude the possibility of the scattered migration to that country.
The New World offered better opportunities and some migrated voluntarily, some were banished mostly for religious reasons. Some left Ireland disillusioned with promises unfulfilled, but many left directly from England, their home territories. Some also moved to the Europe continent.
Members of the family name Inkersall. Some sailed aboard the huge armada of three mast sailing ships known as the ‘White Salts’ which plied the stormy Atlandtic. These overcrowded ships such as the Hector, the Dove and the
Rambler, were pestilence ridden, sometime, 20% to 40% of the passenger list never reaching their destination.
Amongst the first settlers in North America, which could be considered a kinsman of the surname Inkersall, as a variable spelling of that family name was Richard and John Ingersoll settled in Salem in 1629 having arrived from Bedfordshire: Also at Salem at this time were Alice, Anne, George, James, Joanne, and Sarah: Sargent Ingersol arrived in Boston in 1820: Ann Ingersole settled in Maryland 1740: Colin Ingersoll, settled in Boston in 1765 accompanied by his servants.
From the port of entry many settlers made their way west, joining the wagon trains to the prairies on to the west coast. During the American War of Independence, many loyalists made their way north to Canada about 1790, and became known as the United Empire Loyalists.
Contemporary notables of this surname, Inkersall, include many distinguished contributors, Robert Ingersoll. American Business Executive: Ralph Ingersoll, American Journalist.
During the course of our research we also determined the many Coat of Arms granted to different branches of the family name.
The most ancient grant of a Coat of Arms found was: Red with an ermine horizontal stripe between six gold leafed clovers. The Crest is: is a red griffin’s head between two gold wings.
