Hello,
I believe I found your gggggrandparents in my notes. Julia Ann (hmmm very nice, my name as
well) was the daughter of Dinsmore Cargill and Mrs. Duncan (of Erath County Tx). She was
Dinsmore's 3rd wife. Dinsmore was the brother of my ggg-grandfather, Derostus Cargill.
It appears Julia was their only child together.
Dinsmore's first wife was Malinda Patterson and they had married in Natchitoches
Parish La. His second wife was Eliza Whittington. They had one son.
Julia has lots of step-siblings...
Dinsmore was the son of Cornelius Cargill III and Anne Cornelius. He was born 1806 in
South Carolina. He was a leading member of the church and a local politician.
I have a picture of my gg-grandfather, Alfred and his wife. Alfred is Derostus' son
and nephew of your ggggg-grandfather, Dinsmore.
Please feel free to e-mail me. We are cousins from the Cargill line. It appears you would
be my 1st cousin maybe 3 times removed. Your Julia was my gg-grandfather Alfred's
first cousin.
Take care,
Julia
