Her parents were Richard Ingraham/Ingram and Elizabeth Wignall. The family arrived between 1638 and 1642. (Five records support the arrival of the Richard Ingraham/Ingram family between 1638 and 1642. There are two, however, that have ~1628/9. If this is the case, then the birth location of all the children would be Massachusetts.)

Note: Anderson in The Great Migration Begins explains, "Many secondary sources give the bride's surname as Ingraham, but the evidence for this is not seen. The only Ingraham family to which she could belong is that of Richard Ingraham of Rehoboth. He is of the right age and in the right place to be father of Samuel's wife, but this Ingraham family is very poorly defined, and only sons are known for certain." Since there are other sources supporting the connection, will leave it for now.
