I am descended from the New London Fargo line. I am curious to know who is the first documented Fargo in the Pompey, or Scandinavian line.

michaelswanson60 — 2009-11-08 18:47:17Z

There is no chance mutations would create the huge differences. If all Fargo's come from New London, CT, then the difference could be a contemporary (post-1700s) adoption or out-of-wedlock birth. That is why we are seeking many more people with good ancestral documentation to join the DNA project. There is a New London male now submitting a test, and I hope other's will join.

Re: Fargo's in Greenfield and North East, Erie Co., PA 1800's

marr794 — 2009-11-08 16:49:15Z

I agree -- Allen Fargo's (of Warsaw) son John was NOT in PA ever. Also, he would have been guilty of bigamy if he married Mary Ann Chambers.

I do have your John M. in my database (which includes David Philo's info) but no info on his parents. So I am no help.

As to the DNA study, what are the chances that there was a mutation that splits the subjects into two families? I understood that all the Fargos were from one family descended from Moses of New London -- and I have not found separate families.

And mutations are not impossible -- there is a documented mutation between two brothers in another of my lines.

pjfargo — 2009-11-07 19:01:37Z

Two Fargo lines, I hadn't read that. Though it doesn't surprise me, now that I've looked at so many records. But I must say I thought I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel... nope just headlights.
I have thought about the DNA, but kind of hope research would get me there. Considering the amount of time I've spent on this, DNA may be more cost effective. To bad it would only help on this line, I have bigger headaches on a few others.

Thanks,
Pete

diogenes28 — 2009-11-07 14:46:58Z

I am sure that not all Fargo's will be tied together. The DNA project has shown there are at least two lines that are distinct. The line from , N.Y is not the same as from New London, CT, but we should know more soon as there are two test kits in the pipeline. The Pompey line appears Scandinavian while the New London line is Central European.

I hope you will consider joining to see which line you are connected to.

Re: Fargo's in Greenfield and North East, Erie Co., PA 1800's

pjfargo — 2009-11-07 11:36:51Z

Thanks, but thats a different John M. that John was born in November 1824 I believe. Also I've ready a bit of his history. I think my line didn't live in Warsaw (may have visited). No proof, just a feeling.
The John M. I'm descended from was also in the Civil War with the 145th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry (co C.). His nephew, cousin or possibly younger brother, Ira W. Fargo died while serving with this same unit.
John M. Fargo was born in NY and he was working on a farm in North East township, Erie Co., PA at the time of the 1850 census. I believe his future wife was doing the same in Greenfield Erie Co., about 8 miles away.
She (Mary Ann Chambers) and her brother Richard B. Chambers were working on the farm of James C. Fuller in the 1850 census.

Sometime in the 1850's John took his family to Minnesota for a few years, but they were back in North East township before the Civil War. His 3 children, Martha, Frank, and Harry, were all born before the war.
After the war he took his family south to Salem, Missouri (1870 Census), then to Texas by 1880. He lived the remainder of his life there.
John's brother-in-law and 2 children were also with the Fargo's in Salem MO in 1870.
I think I'm at least 2 generations away from tying into the more documented Fargo line.
I've found at least seven different Fargo families in New York for the 1800 and 1810 census (not all the same ones of course ;). 10 in 1820, differing as expected. By 1830 it is 25. Understand, that for me, the only way to track this generation is to watch for them to start families of there own. John M's family bible was lost (we know when/where). So I'm left with this method and scouring the web.
I'm Just putting John M Fargo out in case someone has found him. A portion of the Fargo line is not on the hartgen list and I'm of that portion's lineage, unfortunately. So that list has some errors and finding them is the hard part.

Much thanks for replying, I was afraid this board may have been forgotten. I hope this info helps anyone else who stumbles onto it. It would be nice to get all of the Fargo's tied to one tree. Maybe this internet thing is good for something after all.

Fargo's in Greenfield and North East, Erie Co., PA 1800's

pjfargo — 2009-11-07 01:04:49Z

Looking for any info to find a solid connection.

John Malcolm Fargo B. Dec 1832 (NY State) D. 28 Feb 1905 (TX). He married Mary Ann Chambers B. 11 May 1832 (NY state) D. 5 Oct 1884 (TX).
They are my great, great, great, grand parents.
I have most of the descendent lines and am trying to find John and Mary's parents. These two were married in North East Township, PA by the Hon William E. Marvin, Esq. in November 1858. 1858 doesn't work, so I believe the year is a transcribing error. I can no longer find the web site that had this information.
Presently looking at Calvin Fargo B. abt 1800 (NY state) D. 3 July 1873 and his wife Serena Parker B abt 1803 D. abt 1900? Calvin and Serena remained in Erie county. They are very strong candidates. I know that John and Calvin are closely related, but I can't prove him as a nephew or son.
Also, trying to track a Herriff or Haraph V French from the same area and generation as Calvin.

Any information on ANY Fargo in Erie county would be appreciated. I'm happy to pass what I have found as well.

Thanks,
Pete Fargo

Re: Nancy FARGO m. Levi HUMPHREY 17 Mar 1808 Great Barrington, Berkshire Co., MA.

daverichardson1 — 2009-10-05 13:52:17Z

Thank you for responding. Suzanne de Vogel who has been working on this family for years likely found two of the children of Levi HUMPHREY and Nancy FARGO; Stanton and Polly. Thus it looks like Nancy is the daughter of Stanton FARGO and Fanny COMSTOCK. Stanton HUMPHREY married 9 Nov 1863 Portage Co., Ohio. However the problem is Nancy HUMPHREY is in the 1860 age 75 born MA and 1870 census age 85 born CT, Palmyra, Portage Co., Ohio, with daughter Polly and her husband John HAWK which conflicts with the "Nancy died 1832 in Genesee County, East Bethany, NY." How sure are you of her death? Mary HUMPHREY, a sister of Levi married Lancaster COMSTOCK a son of Lancaster COMSTOCK and Mary SMITH. Appreciate any help. dave.richardson@mindspring.com

Re: Fargo in Onondaga & Oswego counties - NY

marr794 — 2009-04-09 16:30:00Z

Keep in mind, none of my info is PROVEN - it is only collected. I assume you are checking wills and land records as well as church records -- but it sounds to me as if you are making assumptions, which may lead you astray. Jane is a good example -- her presence there means nothing, considering there are a number of Fargos she could have been married to... she could have been single and lied to the census taker that she was a widow... the census taker could have made a mistake, etc.

My advice would be to follow everyone forward, tracing children and grandchildren, until you get to the point where they began writing biographies for county histories, etc... at that point you may start to get the clues you need.

I was in a similar situation with Nehemiah Fargo. He was in Warsaw, Wyoming, NY and I could not locate his father. I went back to the beginning (Moses Fargo b. 1649) and worked my way forward, following everyone, until Nehemiah clicked into place. (That is the data I checked for your Fargos, along with information from David Philo, who is now deceased, I think). I ended up with a pretty comprehensive collection of Fargos up until the mid 1700's -- I did not have to go further, but you may have to trace the Fargos from Vermont exhaustively to tie in your family. Not easy.

Re: Fargo in Onondaga & Oswego counties - NY

gengal3112 — 2009-04-08 22:21:29Z

Thanks - I didn't have a Polly as a child to Gideon but I think there is an Edith there b) 1816. I think the Miranda is a child to William b) 1818. There is a church record I found (Christ Church- Maanlius, NY) that a William Fargo married Jane McCorbon - 4/8/1854 at the home of Mr. Waterman. Although Miranda was born in 1847, maybe this Jane was his 2nd wife. Only William and his mother Betsey are shown in 1850, 1855, & 1860 Manlius census. A Jane Fargo does show up in a 1860 town of Fayetteville census age 40-washwomen. The towns of Pompey, Manlius, & Fayetteville are within a 10 min drive from each other. As for the Oswego county Fargo line - all I have is what I found at this web-site. My missing link is an Edmond b) 1803 d) 1830 from a family bible who I think is a son to a Daniel. There was a Daniel in Manlius,NY who sold property in 1822. That's all I have on him. I just found the James L. when I was tracking down deeds at the courthouse. He must have had to be 18 or 20 to buy land, so I'm assuming b) 1815. All of my line of Fargo's stayed in/near Onondaga county. When I try to find info on Daniel, I find stuff on everyone else but him. It's frustrating but fun! Thanks again.

Re: Searching for info on Nancy Fargo who m. Levi Humphrey 17 Mar 1808 Great Barrington, Berkshire Co., MA.

marr794 — 2008-09-12 16:38:49Z

You have two choices as to who Nancy Fargo's parents were.

My information (from The History of Montville by Henry Baker, which is buggy) is that she was the daughter of Stanton Fargo and Fanny Comstock, who lived in New London Co, CT. Most of their children were born in Montville - I don't have a location for Nancy's birth, which was probably between 1786 - 1790.

Another Fargo researcher, David Philo, had that Nancy's parents were Moses Fargo and Hannah Lamphere from New London County, CT, perhaps the Norwich area, which is where Moses' parents were. Nancy's birth is listed as 09 Jun 1769

Nancy married Levi Humphrey 17 Mar 1808 in Great Barrington, Berkshire, Mass. Nancy died 1832 in Genesee County, East Bethany, NY.

Sorry, I don't have any further info, but if you research East Bethany, keep in mind that Genesee County's borders changed a great deal - the counties in western NY were adjusted - and you may end up checking several counties.

Re: Patricia Fargo

marr794 — 2009-03-26 21:02:46Z

I am not familiar with the French ancestry you give.

Yes, Patience Fargo married Stephen Maples; his father's name is supposed to be Peter, but Stephen was born in Montville, New London, CT abt 1690, so his father having a son born in England in 1720 is suspect.

Announcing the Fargo Y-DNA Project

swansonmichael — 2008-01-08 01:48:37Z

Fargo Y-DNA Project

This DNA project seeks to find familial connections between the various branches of the FARGO line, including variant spellings such as FERGO and FARGEAU. This family is famous for producing one of the founders of Wells-Fargo company. The project may be joined by males of any Fargo line at:

http://www.familytreedna.com/public/fargo/

The goal is to collect 20 or more DNA samples from people with these surnames and display the results so that we can determine the origin of the various lines. Another goal is to verify genealogical connections, since there were possibly adoptions and there was poor record keeping. The founder of the American FARGO line is said to be Jacent FARGEAU, b. about 1622 in France. DNA testing can lend support to this theory, or refute it.

Re: Announcing the Fargo Y-DNA Project

swansonmichael — 2008-04-26 13:30:28Z

It is easy to join. If you don't have a DNA test, you can buy one and join at the same time here:

https://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.aspx?code=B96873&...

Remember, you need a male FARGO in your line. If your last name is PAGE then you are not FERGO, unless you changed your name. So you need to contact a cousin to take the test for you.

Albert A. - b. Jun 1850 (occ: runs cheese factory) - d. 1920 Orangeville, Wyoming, NY;
Lillian - b. abt. 1854;
Eva J. - b. 1861 - d. 1915, Rawson, NY - m. Charles Morse - b. 1859 - d. 1914, Rawson, NY;
John - b. abt. 1863;
Frederick Lewis - b. 9 Nov 1869 - d. 25 Sep 1897, Rawson, NY.

This Fred Fargo seems to match since he d. in early adulthood - only 27y and the only one buried in Rawson Cemetery.

Hi,
I have several photo's of the Wells Fargo family.I am sure there are a few photo's of William in there. They came from the estate of Clara Fargo Thomas, who was the daughter of James Congdell Fargo's son. They are from the Civil War Period up until the turn of the Century. There are hundreds of photo's, and I am sure a lot of them could be identified. Most of them are in Fargo family Scrapbooks and photo albums. Nearly all the photo's are of New York origin. I am sure they would be of great interest to a family member.

Hi,
I have several hunded early photo's of the Fargo family.
They came from the estate of Clara Fargo Thomas. Her father was the son of James Congdell Fargo, of Wells Fargo fame. There are hundreds of of photo's which date from the Civil War Period up until the turn of the Century. Some can be identified by names and I am sure the others could be identified. I am sure a member of the Fargo Family would have interest in these.
John
