March 1st is also the birthday of Jeremiah Ingalls, a farmer, cooper, and taverner by trade and a shape note music composer and singing master by profession. Born in 1764, he lived and worked in Newbury, Vermont as choirmaster and deacon at the Newbury Congregational Church until he was excommunicated from that congregation after allegations of adultery. Nonetheless, he went on to become the choirmaster at what is now the Federated Church of Rochester. He died in 1838 and is buried in Hancock, Vermont.
