Information on Samuel Cargo

Cargo Kin Bonnie C. Segui (View posts) Posted: 20 Aug 1999 8:57PM GMT

I have a Samuel Cargo in my family; however, I find him in Virginia, Augusta Co, about 1785. From there he went to Abbeville, SC where he died about 1791-92. His son, also Samuel Alexander Cargo, is the original settler into Blount Co, AL about 1819. The Samuel and the four brothers that you mention came much, much later. My younger Samuel and family left VA for Blount Co, TN about 1806, then on to Alabama 1819. I do remember seeing a "Hugh Cargo" in Blount Co, TN at the time my Cargo family was there.

Wish we could unravel this family as I have never been able to learn anything about my elder Samuel Cargo. Have no idea where he came from, but he just seems to appear in Augusta Co, VA.

The names you mentioned in your first query are names that I have in my grandmother's family here in Alabama. Hope you can find some connection in your files.

Thanks, Bonnie

Hello Darrell. I have no idea who this Greenberry Nelson is. I would assume he is some kin, but can't figure it out yet. Yes, this Samuel Cargo (my ggg grandfather) was born in SC. His parents came out of Augusta Co, VA and were only in SC for a short time. His father (also a Samuel Cargo) was a merchant at Cambridge (Old 96). He died near Abbeville, SC ca 1791-92, and his wife returned with two children to Augusta, VA.

Is this Cargo family related to you?
