Hello,
I have read that the Cargill family can be traced back to a Donald Cargill from Rattray,
Scotland. I have Cargill relatioins on my family tree that can and are related to this
Donald Cargill of Rattray, Scotland.
What I was wondering about was if there is anyone out there who knows if William Wallace
Cargill who was born on December 15, 1844 in Port Jefferson, Long Island, New York and
died on October 17, 1909 in La Crosse, Wisconsin, married to Ellen "Ella"
Theresa Stowell.
Does anyone know if William Wallace Cargill is related to Donald Cargill from Rattray,
Scotland, and if so how are they linked?
I have been able to trace William Wallace Cargill back to Adam Corrigell b. 22, November
1649 in Horaldsgairth, Firth, Orkney, Scotland, but that is as far as I have been able to
go back up to this time.
According to the information that I have read about Donald Cargill, he was born about
1560 in Scotland and died about 1623, he was married to Margaret Blair.
If there is anyone out there who could show me how William Wallce Cargill the founder of
the Cargill-MacMillan Company is related to Donald Cargill, and help me get past this
brick wall, I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
Keith Lawrence
