The William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. 6, No. 2 (Oct., 1897), pp. 87-89:
LETTER ' FROM MUNGO INGLES. Mr Rector & Gent: I understand there has been some discouragemt lately about y0 payment of our Salarys & yt it is to be done by ye Rule of propor-tion. I know that Mr President is for it, but the other Gent expect their whole Salarys, and did not well brook it. For my own part I speak for but one. I have always look'd upon ye College pay, as so much ready money, & depending upon it as such, have ordered my affairs accordingly, and have contracted several debts, payable on that very day on which our Salarys used to be pd. I need not tell Mr Rector & ye Gent of ye College yt my Constant Attendance here, takes me off as much as any other clergyman from all other ways of getting a Livelyhood in ye world: and as it is but just, & highly reasonable that they who serve at ye Altar, should live by ye Altar, so I hope it will not be thought unreason-able, that I who have served ye College so duely & truely, now these ten years should live by it, which I cannot do by having but half Salary. I give whole attendance & I expect whole Salary. Let but any Gent suppose this Case to be his own (for yt is ye best way to give a true estimate of things) & I am confident he will be of opinion that ye whole Salary ought to be pd. Is it nothing to be (all ye year long except in ye breaking up) Confin'd to ye College from 7 to 11 in the morning; & from 2 to 6 in the afternoon, and to be all day long spending ones Lungs upon a Compa. of children, who (many of them) must be taught ye same things many times over Does ye Master of a Grammar School get his money so easily, that he must not be thought worthy of it ? Gent if it be so, that you set so little by the education of yr sons; tis time to tell ye Master yt ye have no more occasion for him; and it is time for ye Master to tell ye College, that if he cannot live by it, he must een think of some other way. I shall only add that my charge of my family is great, my attendance at ye College is Constant, the trouble of teaching unspeakable, & my occasion for money such that nothing than my whole Salary will answer them, which I leave with you to be considered of.' M. Ingles. 'Rev. Mungo Ingles, of Scotland, born 1657 and died 1719, was selected by Dr. Blair, when he came with the charter in 1693, as the first master of the Grammar school. He served from 1694 to 1705, when, taking sides with Gov-ernor Nicholson, he resigned out of disgust with Dr. Blair. Arthur Blacka-more was his successor, who wrote a poem published in the Maryland Gazette on Spotswood's expedition to the mountains. In 1716, Mungo Ingles was re-elected master, and so continued till his death. He was also one of the first feoffees of Williamsburg, and a justice of James City county. He married in Virginia, Anne, daughter of Col. James Bray, of the Council, and Angelica his wife. She was Widow of Capt. Peter Temple, who died in 1695 (Peter Temple was son of Rev. Peter Temple), and in 1692 she was widow of Robert Booth. (son of Robert Booth, clerk of York county), by whom she had a daughter who married Robert Armistead. Issue of Mungo Ingles and Anne Bray, five children, of whom four were, Mary, died March 22, 1709-'10; Anne, died Nov. 12, 1710; David, died 1714, and James, who married Anne Marot and had a single daughter, Judith Bray, who married William Armistead, and had Henry Armistead, of Charles City.
