Lee,

I just realized that I am your cousin. George & Mattie are my grandfather's parents. My Mom actually remembers your Dad. Funny how things fall into place when you least expect it.

I have commented before on your search & am hoping you still check in. Mattie Argo was my father's (Gerald Argo) grandmother. Her son George Argo is my grandfather. I walked through the cemetary some today looking for Nimrod Argo's gravesite but didn't have any luck finidng it. I would love to help piece this together.

Huss Cemetery

jkbeiner — 2009-11-04 20:29:31Z

I saw a post from you in 2001 that referred to the "Old Huss Cemetery," and would like to know exactly where it is located. I am researching my father's family - Huss and Turner lineage. My maiden name is Huss and anytime I see anything on cemeteries or old records I am interested in adding to family info.

Thanks for responding.

Anyone have a Picture of Sam Calvin Argo or Viola Shaw Argo?

majanecka — 2009-08-04 03:05:46Z

Does anyone happen to have a picture of Sam Calvin Argo born April 6, 1891 on High Island, TX and died May 6, 1946 in LA. His wife was Viola Alfreda Shaw and their children were Sam Calvin (1926), David Douglas (1927) and Lottie (1937). Or any pictures of Viola Alfreda Shaw Argo either for that matter although I have some of hers and have posted one of those under her name. She had many siblings so I'm sure some of them had pictures of her in their family albums. Really appreciate the time if you could help out.
Thanks.

Looking for Phoebe ARGO, b. 1810 in OH, m. Thomas KINCAID in 1833 in Hamilton Co., OH. (see "Marriage records, 1852-1931; restored Mariage Records 1808-1873, Ohio Probate Court, Hamilton Co., OH") They had 3 children. Her second marriage was to Enoch GRAY in Madison Co., IN. about 1845. They had 2 children. Does your book have any mention of her or her family? I only ask because you mention the Ohio connection.
Thanks, Micki

William Argo-Addie Capps

majanecka — 2009-01-08 06:36:54Z

I am looking for any information (particularly who the parents were) on William "Bill" Argo born in Warren County, TN (there's a slew of them there but I haven't found any that matches his particular information) in April, 1852. According to 1910 census both his mother and father were born in TN as well. He died in Spindletop, Jefferson, Texas on 11-14-1929. His wife was named Addie (may be a nickname or even a middle name) Capps born in Little Rock, Pulaski, Arkansas in 1861 she was still alive in the 1930 census but no definite death date on her. They had two sons Sam Calvin Argo and Lewis William Argo. Their eldest son was born in Texas in 1891 so they were both here in Texas at least by that date.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

My name is Eric Argo. I live in Wash state. My uncle, Harold v. Argo was a scientist on the Manhatten project during WWII. Before he died a few years ago, he traced the Argo family line to the best of his ability. He discovered that a man named Alexander Argo came to the new world from Edinburgh,Scotland in 1720 to what is now Maryland. Does anyone know more? e

We are looking for the family...father, mother, etc. He says he was born in Missouri but we are not sure who his parents are. If you have any info, it would be appreciated.

Re: Argo Cemetery in Illinois

melynnd76 — 2008-10-13 01:34:13Z

My GGG grandparents John ARGO and Catharine MARSH are buried in the Argo Cemetery (row 7)

The Argo Cemetery is located on private property just east of a small stream and south of a small lake, nearby the Sangamon Park and the Champaign/Piatt County line. The property is owned by Leon Ash & Robert Wright and is not eccessible except by permission of the owners.

The Cemetery is also in bad shape, no one cares for it, but I'm working on that.

I also have the reading of the Cemetery, it was last read in 1977.

You can contact me to get the phone number of Leon Ash.

Hello, there! I just joined ancestry.com, but I was interested to find info on the Patchells. Louise Biggins-Patchell is my great-aunt; her twin sister was my mother's mother. This site has become a very interesting resource, as this is how I discovered my great-uncle Norman passed away.

Unfortunately, I really don't have anyway of researching past Howard & Carrie as that's as far back as my mom could remember on the Biggins' side. I just thought I'd reply since we're apparently related. Of course, now that I see you posted this 4 years ago, I can't imagine this would reach you, but here's a shot.

Henry Argo of Chickasha, Oklahoma ~ Murdered in 1930

BasketLady420 — 2007-04-08 22:33:27Z

"In the wee hours of the morning on May 31st, 1930, a dubious accusation of rape gave lynch law yet another victim-a 19 year old Negro, Henry Argo. The murder took place inside the Chickasha, Oklahoma courthouse after Argo was accused of rape by a white sharecropper's wife. People of both races in the town questioned her claim. Argo was thought of as a half-wit by the black community."
(more on website)

I am not related to this family, just passing on this information which comes from a website called "American Lynching." The link for the site is listed below.

Re: ARGO /BRITT FAMILY FROM TALLAPOOSA CO.,AL

esewa1251 — 2008-06-06 13:17:24Z

I am looking for information on Henry Dallas Argo who it is believed was from Tallapoosa County, AL and moved to Texas after 1868 with Sarah/Sallie Jane Carter Morgan Argo who he married in Coosa County, AL 27 Aug 1867. Sarah Jane died 30 April 1919 in Austin, TX, as his widow and a resident of the Confederate Women's Home there. She is buried in a Confederate grave in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin.

I am especially interested in finding any children Sarah/Sallie and Henry might have had in Brown County, TX and what happened to Henry after he and his second wife Henrietta moved into Indian Territory before Oklahoma Statehood in 1907.

I am beginning to suspect that Henry had Native American ancestry of some kind or married a Native American woman (Harriet) while living in Comanche County, TX in the late 1800's.

I would love to correspond with anyone with more information about the ARGO/HARJO family of Alabama. Please write me directly at historian@morganvirtualreunion.com

Your name Thomas Morgan Argo caught my attention, as I believe it is my gr-gr grandmother Sarah/Sallie Jane Carter Morgan that married Henry Dallas Argo in Coosa County AL, 1867 after the death of her first husband James Milton Morgan. One of her sons by James Milton was James Thomas Morgan - my gr-grandfather.

I would love more information on your Argo family.

obit for Elizabeth McDowell Argo Volkel, b. 1833 Indiana, d. 1916 Kansas

cwhite02 — 2007-05-22 00:26:14Z

Better Way, August 31, 1916, page 10:
Ada -- Betsy Ann McDowell was born in Switzerland county, Indiana, October 18, 1833, and departed this life August 24, 1916, at the age of 82 years, ten months and seven days. With her parents, she moved to Edginton, Illinois, in 1846, where at the age of 18 she gave her heart to God and united with the Baptist church of which organization she had since been a faithful member. In 1859, she was united in marriage to Smith Argo. To this union were born two sons, one of whom, J.E. Argo, of Spokane, Washington, survives her. In 1866 she was married to Fredrick Volkel who, sixteen years ago, preceded her to the other world. To this union were born five children, all of whom survive her -- Josephine Sanders of Ada, Lottie Crabs of Centralia, Washington, Fred Volkel of Lenora, George Volkel of Beloit, Olive Garrison of Smith Center, with the step-children, Celia Scneder of Denver, Colorado, Winnie Cline of Garland, Wyo., and Miss Amy Volkel of Ada.
Since the death of her husband, she and Miss Amy have made their home in Ada. The deceased leaves twenty-two grandchildren, two great grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her loss.

George Franklin was the son of Anthony Nimrod Argo and Nancy Elizabeth Ann Griffith Argo. Anthony Nimrod Argo was the son of Jackson G Argo born in GA around 1818 and married to Jane Walker. Children included Anthony Nimrod and possibly Artemicia, Wiley G, Willis M, Lucenda, and Josiah. Jackson died in AL, possibly Calhoun Co. I'm trying to trace back to the father, grandfather, and great grandfather of Jackson G. Argo to find out where we came from.
