She was born in Gordonsville, Tennessee, and was a descendant of the town's founder, John Gordon.

Early life
Ingram published her first poem at age 12.

She married Daniel Taylor Ingram, commandant of Castle Heights Military Academy in Lebanon, and began to write for publication after her three children reached school age.

Five of stories were published in the New Yorker; one short story, "Death of a Slave," became the basis for her novel, Milbrey.

Ingram spent the last several years of her life living on her daughter's farm in Williamson County, the place where she had lived with her sister in a log house.
