Hi Tammy and William,
Thank you for answering .
My 3rd great grandfather was Oismond Cargill-brother to Derostus and Dinsmore and I firmly
think John C. Oismond died l849 in Claiborne Parish La. Oismond's widow is buried in
the Ruth Cem Coryell Co Tx (where I was born) their daughter Lucinda Cargill Pruett is
buried in the Davidson Cem (also called Pecan Grove) in Coryell Co. Lucinda has a homemade
stone and is at the foot of her son: James Henry Pruett.this Lucinda married Samuel M
Pruett. He died l859 of pneumonia while on a trip back to Claiborne Parish La to bring
some cattle to Tx. this info was given to me by the daughter of my great uncle Otis Pruett
(brother to James Henry). I found the grave in Athens, La and it is 2 spaces down from my
John Leatherman. HIs wife elizabeth Graves Leatherman is supposed to be next to him and
then a homemade stone with S.P. l849. The Pruetts, Leathermans, and Cornelius families all
lived in that area. Cornelius Cargill and Ann Cornelius Cargill (a 2nd cousin to
Cornelius) died aroun!
d Russellville, La. We have not been able to locate their graves.Cornelius and Ann were
the parents of Oismond, Derostus and Dinsmore and prob John C.
