Ingersoll was in the field until the beginning of Dec., when he decided to return to Salem with the families of himself and sons. His departure was criticized, but Williamson in his History of Maine says: “ Ingersoll’s ,ilitary talents procured his promotion to the command of town militia, and office he filled with much repute theough the 1st (1675) indian war.”
