• Notes

  About 1842 Radford McCargo was buried in the Kinkaid cemetery, a Revolutionary War veteran who died of old age. Born in Virginia to John and Mary Radford McCargo, he was given his mother’s maiden name and was just old enough to enroll as a soldier in the Revolutionary War in that colony. He married Lucy Morton in Prince Edward Co., Virginia in 1786 and by 1787 they were in Kentucky where he signed a petition to the legislature asking permission to use tobacco to pay taxes instead of hard currency. In 1794 [sic 1797] following the birth of Mary R. “Polly” McCargo, his wife, Lucy Morton McCargo, died. As was common, Radford remarried within six months, taking a wife named Eleanor from the neighboring Angell family. Thus, it is no surprise that in a few decades Mary RT. “Polly” McCargo married Willis H. Angell and in 1828 the Angell clan came to Missouri as a family unit, this group being composed of Willis H. and Mary R. “Polly” McCargo Angell, his two brothers and their families. Once again a widower with his own aged parents still alive in Virginia, Radford McCargo chose to come to the new state as well, rather than returning to Virginia or remaining in Kentucky. The family was attracted to the northern part of Boone County by the easily tilled soil along Rocky Fork Creek, and soon were neighbors of the Hicks/Fountain clan. Radford McCargo moved his residence from his daughter to various grandchildren as they matured and as space was available for him to stay. Plus, no doubt, he helped as much as his health would allow; his health must have good for he lived into his 80’s and finally died of old age at the home of his granddaughter, Lucy Ann Angell Fountain, and her family about 1842. …no tombstone was erected over his grave in the Kinkaid burial ground. This burial ground was only a mile west of the Hicks burial ground which was in active use during this decade and the families had already intermarried, so the choice of this plot has to be related to the proximity of this burial ground to Lucy Ann Angell Fountain’s house. Once again, if the grave was mounded no evidence remains as it is on a gently rolling knoll in what was a cow pasture for many years. At the turn of the century, the Boone County Daughter of the American Revolution (DAR) marked Radford’s grave with a standard marker and enrolled his name on a plaque in the Boone County Courthouse.
