Elizabeth, daughter of Benjamin Thurston and Sarah Phillips, married
James Milk Ingraham. Joseph H. Ingraham, of this family, gave to
Portland, Me., for its improvement, property now amounting in value to
millions--beautiful State Street, the market, the property of the High
School, and much more. One of the Ingrahams was the wife of Philander
Chase, the first Bishop of Illinois, uncle of Salmon P. Chase, who
was Secretary of the Treasury under Lincoln and Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States. Of the Ingraham family was that
Commodore Ingraham who won laurels for his country and himself by
rescuing Martin Koszata from the clutch of Austria. Connected with the
Ingrahams was that Edward Preble, born at Falmouth Neck, whose father
served under Wolfe and was wounded at Quebec; also that Commander
Preble whose achievement before Tripoli was rewarded with a gold medal
and the thanks of Congress. Rev. John Phillips and Thurston Ingraham,
author of “Why We Believe the Bible,” both rectors in the Protestant
Episcopal Church, were sons of James Milk Ingraham and Elizabeth
Thurston Ingraham. John Ingraham, son of the preceding, is rector of
Grace Church, St. Louis, Mo. His sister, Elizabeth Thurston Ingraham,
married Darius Blake Holbrook, who was born in Dorchester, Mass. His
mother was a Ridgeway. Her sister married a Quincy, and was aunt to
John Quincy Adams. Mr. Holbrook was an originator of the land grant
for the Illinois Central Railroad and its first president. He owned
Cairo, at the mouth of the Ohio, and was associated with Cyrus Field
in laying the first Atlantic cable. Caroline Elizabeth was the only
child of Darius Blake Holbrook and Elizabeth Thurston Holbrook. She
married William G. Chandler, of the banking house of St. John Powers &
Co., Mobile, Ala. William G. Chandler’s father was Daniel Chandler, a
lawyer of high standing in Georgia; his mother was Sarah Campbell, a
sister of John A. Campbell, at one time Assistant Secretary of State
for the Confederacy, and previously judge of the Supreme Court of the
United States. Judge L. Q. C. Lamar, long a United States Senator, and
afterward a justice of the Supreme Court, was near of kin.
To William G. Chandler and Caroline Elizabeth Holbrook Chandler two
children were born--Holbrook St. John and Florence Elizabeth. Their
father died in 1863, and their mother, on account of the war, took the
children abroad to be educated. The son died while pursuing his medical
studies.
