In 1789 Samuel Tate’s daughter, Ann (1767-1844), married Joseph Holt Ingraham (1752-1841), a talented silversmith who became a successful Portland merchant.
Ingraham moved to Falmouth in Casco Bay from York to work with John Butler, an enterprising silversmith. Ingraham’s Fore Street property was destroyed during the 1775 bombardment but he promptly rebuilt his home and shop.
