McCargar Lines

And here's a website that talks about our McCargar ancestors: McCargar.com. Thomas McCargar, his wife,Sarah Thomas and son, Thomas McCargar, are all talked about in the site, and are our direct ancestors (atleast that's what they say). Anyway, Thomas McCargar was born in Ireland in 1776, probably to descendants of Scottish settlers. He went to Canada as a Private in the British Army, fought on the British side in the revolutionary war, was captured at Saratoga, escaped (and simultaneously deserted by settling in Boston). In Boston he joined the militia and fought for the American side. It looks like he may have worked as a mill worker.
