Charles Ingram

Colonel Charles Ingram (27 March 1696 – 28 November 1748) was a British soldier and politician.

Ingram was the seventh of the nine sons of Arthur Ingram, 3rd Viscount of Irvine (known as Irwin in England), by Isabella Machel, daughter of John Machell, Member of Parliament for Horsham, of Hills, Sussex. He was a general in the British Army. In 1737 he was returned to Parliament for Horsham (succeeding his elder brother Henry), a seat he held until his death.

Ingram married Elizabeth Brace, née Scarborough, widow of Francis Brace, sister of Ann, the wife of his brother Henry, and daughter and co-heiress of Charles Scarborough, Clerk of the Board of Green Cloth, of Windsor, Berkshire, in 1726. They had one son, Charles, later 9th Viscount of Irvine, and three daughters. Elizabeth died in December 1739. Ingram survived her by nine years and died in November 1748, aged 52.
