  		Reputed to be a picture of Washington Ingram
  		Probable Home of Washington Ezekiel Ingram This picture was found the the files of some of Washington Ezekiel Ingram's descendants. Nobody is sure whose house this might of been, but it has been eliminated as being the house of several of his descendants. So now it is believed that this might have been Washington Ezekiel and Sarah Brown Ingram's house in Rural Shade, Texas. If you look closely at the windmill, you will see that it was manufactured by The Aermotor Co., Chicago. That company was founded in 1888; therefore this picture would have been taken some time after both Washington and Sarah died.
