I have a copy of Mrs. Louisa A Duncan & Dinsmore Cargill's marriage certificate.
A cousin got it directly from the Erath Co TX county clerk. On the certificate it states
that on 29 Oct 1877 Dinsmore Cargill & Mrs. Louisa A Duncan applied for a license. On
the bottom of the certificate it states that John S. Hyatt joined in marriage these two on
1st Nov 1877. It was recorded on 2nd Nov 1877, signed by John S, Hyatt, clerk county
court & W H Fooshee, deputy clerk. It is in Book A pg 155. It can be found on LDS
Family History Center Film # 1026025, Erath Co TX Marriages 1869-1890. Also can be found
in a book, Erath Co TX Marriage Records 1869-1891, Vol 1, 976.432E65. I can scan this
certificate & email it to you if you want a copy.
Louisa Howell & Charles B. Duncan had 10 children, 6 girls & 4 boys. Only 1
daughter & 3 sons lived to adulthood. One daughter died in IL, buried there. One
daughter died in Collin Co TX, buried there. One adult daughter & one adult son died
in OK, buried there. The other two adult sons died in Erath Co TX, buried there, as are
Louisa & Chas. B. The other 3 daughters & 1 son are also buried in Erath Co.
I have just wondered if Dinsmore & Louisa divorced. But I have not found a record of
this so far.
