I'm trying to find my Cargile/Cargill family--I have them in Texas and
census records say my g,grandmother Mary Cargile b. abtr. 1856 was born in
La. She married John Mason b. in TN abt. 1855; John died at a very young
age; she died at a young age also, but after him. My grandfather, Albert
Lee Mason, b. 1880 in Waxahacie, TX, was their son--other children were
Estelle, Edgar, and John. I have copies of guardianship records from Ellis
County and the children lived with George Tucker and his wife Sallie Cargill
at various times after their parents died. I feel pretty sure Sallie must
have been Mary's sister, and have wondered whether they are related to the
Erath Cargill's. Haven't had much time to research it as yet. Anyone know
anything about them?
