He came in Gov. Endicott's company. He and his brother, Francis, and four others began the settlement of Lynn in 1629. He was a man of good character even though the following court record is found "20/4/1646, Edmund Ingalls was fined for brining home sticks in both his arms on the Sabbath day from Mr. Holyokes rails, witness Joseph fflood, Obadya fflood, Jane fflood." These were probably jealous neighbors and it goes to show the strict observance of the Sabbath in those days. His name is often found on the town records showing him to be one of the prominent citizens.
