Barton was the son of Henry Ingraham and his wife Angeline Barney.

He married 1847, Butler Co., PA to Jane C. Johnston, daughter of Joseph and Martha Johnston. She was literally "the girl next door." They would eventually have fourteen children.

In 1850, they are found on the census still living in Butler Co., PA with two children:

1850 census, Middlesex, Butler Co., Pennsylvania
Barton Ingerham M 25 Illinois
Jane Ingerham F 22 Pennsylvania
Lauretta Ingerham F 2 Pennsylvania
Virgil Ingerham M 1 Pennsylvania

By 1860, they had eight children:

Civil War: Sometime between 1863 to 1865, Barton and Jane moved their family from Pennsylvania to Flora, Clay Co., Illinois. It may have been to lessen the chances of their sons being drafted, or it may have been to find cheaper land for them to farm as they came of age. Barton's father had once lived in Flora and still had relatives there. They settled about two miles north of Flora.

The 1870 census shows that they were doing very well financially and now had ten children at home, in addition to the two who had married and moved out:

Biography below excerpted from "History of Wayne and Clay Counties, Illinois 1884.

"Barton B. Ingraham, is one of the substantial farmers of Harter Township , living in Section 12, Town 3 north, Range 6 east. He was born in Wabash County , Ill. , April 3, 1825.

His parents, Henry and Angeline Ingraham, were very early settlers in Wabash County, but while Barton B. was a mere child, they removed to Ohio, and in 1839 they again removed, this time going to the State of Pennsylvania, which was for many years their home. The father died in Ohio while"on a visit, and the mother subsequently removed to Illinois , and died in Clay County in 1879.

B. B. Ingraham was reared to the pursuits of the farm, to which he has ever clung with a persistency which has insured his success. He now owns more than 600 acres of valuable land in Clay County .

He was married in Pennsylvania , in 1847, to Jane C. Johnston. She is a daughter of Joseph and Martha Johnston, and was born in Pennsylvania September 27, 1827 .

Mr. Ingraham came to Illinois and to Clay County in 1861, first locating in the village of Flora , where he and Mr. Frederick Pierce erected one of the first mills of the town. He, however, soon abandoned this business to engage in that of farming.

Mr. and Mrs. Ingraham are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Flora. They have been blessed with a family of fourteen children, two of whom died in infancy unnamed. The others are Lauretta, wife of John Tanner, of Louisville, born November 28, 1847; Virgil S., born January 15, 1849, and died April 24, 1862; Leverett J., born September 19, 1850; LeanderH, born March 4, 1852; Cerissa B., wife of D.
