Abstract:

This article explores the history of the historic home and property Ingleside, located in Wake County, North Carolina. Originally the home of Revolutionary War veteran Colonel John Ingles, Ingleside eventually became home to North Carolina Governor Charles Manly and his son John H. Manly before the Civil War. During the Civil War, Union troops occupied the property and a Union officer buried $20,000 in coin that has never been found. After the war, the property was divided and passed through a number of different owners.
