FARGO FAM I LY 
 
 MOSES FARGO 1 , with his wife Sarah, emigrated 
 from Wales about the year 1680, and settled 
 in New London, Conn. The history of New London 
 by Frances Manwaring Caulkins, published in 1872, 
 has the following statement: 
 
 "With other new inhabitants that appear 
 between the years 1670 and 1680, and to whom 
 house lots were granted, is MOSES FARGO in the 
 year 1680." 
 
 He remained in New London until about 1690, 
 when he went to Norwich, returning again to the 
 north parish of New London (now Montville), 
 where he died about the year 1726. He had nine 
 children born in the order named below: 
 Sarah 3 , born in 1680. 
 Mary 2 , born January 1, 1681. 
 
 Ann 2 , born March 2, 1684. 
 
 Patience 2 , born May 9, 1688. 
 born April 9, 1691. 
 born August 18, 1693. 
 born September 30, 1696. 
 born November 9, 1699. 
 born December 9, 1702.

FARGO FAMILY 
 
 One of the sons named on preceding page was 
 the progenitor of the second generation, of the line 
 of posterity described herewith. Nothing at present 
 is known of him except that he had a son named 
 WILLIAM 3 , who was born between 1730 and 1740 
 in New London, Conn. The records in and about 
 New London show that 
 
 MOSES 2 — (Moses 1 ) had three sons 
 Jabez 3 
 Samuel 3 
 Moses 3 
 
 ROBERT 3 — (Moses 1 ) had two sons 
 Robert 3 
 Moses 3 
 
 THOMAS 2 — (Moses 1 ) went to Vermont or 
 Massachusetts and no one knows what became of him. 
 
 AARON 2 — (Moses 1 ) had one son 
 Aaron 3 
 
 As none of the above four sons of Moses 1 had a 
 son William, it is probable that 
 
 RALPH 2 — (Moses 1 ) may have been the father of 
 
 WILLIAM 3 , born at New London, Conn., 
 between the years 1730 and 1740.

 WILLIAM FARGO 4 — (William 3 , Ralph 2 , 
 Moses 1 ), was born about the year 1757. At the age 
 of seventeen he was among the first to enlist in the 
 Revolutionary War, and he served faithfully during 
 the whole of that memorable struggle for indepen- 
 dence. The following copy of his military service

 He also served as a Sergeant in Capt. Jonathan 
 Heart's Connecticut Company under La Fayette, 
 from February to November, 1781, and was present 
 at the siege of Yorktown." 
 
 At the close of the war he engaged in commer- 
 cial pursuits with Daniel Douglas, their principal 
 business being the shipping of cattle and horses to 
 the West Indies. For a time this enterprise proved 
 successful; but the loss of two ships during a stormy 
 voyage brought a reverse from which he never 
 recovered financially.

 He married Mary Congdell at Lyme, Conn., in 
 September, 1784. They removed to Montville, 
 where he died October 14th, 1801. His widow

 to East Springfield, Otsego Co., N. Y. 
 
 Six children were born to them, namely:

FARGO FAMILY 
 
 WILLIAM C. FARGO 5 — (William 4 , William 8 , 
 Ralph 2 , Moses 1 ), was born in New London, Conn., 
 March 20th, 1791. His father died when he was but 
 ten years old, and he was thus thrown upon his own 
 resources. In those days fortune was to be sought 
 in the West; so having learned the trade of distiller, 
 on the 23rd of January, 1807, he left Connecticut with 
 his uncle, John Ames, husband of his aunt, SALLY 
 FARGO 4 , going to Plymouth, Chenango County, 
 New York, thence to Jamesville, Onondaga County, 
 where he found employment in the distillery of 
 Benjamin Sandford. 
 
 He remained in this position for about two years, 
 when he made his first visit to his Uncle Chappel, 
 who married his father's sister, ANNIE 4 , and resided 
 in Pompey, N. Y. His visit over, he continued 
 his journey westward until he reached Buffalo in 
 September, 1810. Here he remained until May, 
 1812, when he entered the service of the U. S. Army 
 in the pending war with Great Britain. The follow- 
 ing is a history of his military service, obtained from 
 the Department of the Interior: 
 
 "William C. Fargo was enlisted by Lieut. John 
 O'Connor, at Buffalo, N. Y., May 7th, 1812, and in 
 June following went to Canandaigua and joined the 
 company commanded by Capt. James McKeon, from 
 
 (6) 
 
FARGO FAMILY 
 
 which place he went to Fort Niagara, then under the 
 command of one Captain Leonard. On October 12th, 
 1812, he was detached from Captain McKeon's 
 company and placed under the command of 
 Lieut. Richard M. Bailey, and on the evening of that 
 day marched to Lewiston. On the following day 
 he crossed with his company to Queenstown and 
 participated in the battle. During the fight he was 
 wounded in the right thigh by a musket ball and was 
 taken back to Lewiston, where he remained in the 
 hospital until February, 1813, and was then taken to 
 Fort Niagara. On the 22nd of September, 1813, he 
 was placed on an unlimited furlough on account of 
 his wound, and remained on furlough until October, 
 1814. He then joined Capt. R. Jones' company at 
 Sacket's Harbor, and was afterwards transferred 
 to the company commanded by Benj. K. Pierce, 
 and served as a Sergeant at Fort Mackinaw, 
 then under the command of Col. John McNeill, 
 until May 7th, 1817, when he was honourably 
 discharged." 
 
 No longer a soldier he commenced his journey on 
 foot from Fort Mackinaw, Mich., to Pompey, N. Y., 
 where he arrived in June, 1817. He shortly after 
 made a visit to his Uncle Ames in Chenango County, 
 and returned in July. 
 
 (7) 
 
FARGO FAMILY 
 
 On the 10th of August, 1817, he was married 
 to his second cousin Tacy Strong, who was born 
 September 14th, 1799, in Hebron, Conn. Her father 
 was a farmer, lived near Hadham, Hartford County, 
 Conn., and died when she was about one year old. 
 Her mother's maiden name was Chappel daughter 
 of James Chappel, who married ANNIE Fargo 4 , a 
 sister of WILLIAM Fargo 4 ). Her mother married 
 a second time in 1809, to James Screel, in the town 
 of Pompey, N. Y., to which place she had removed 
 after her first husband's death. After her marriage to 
 James Screel they removed near to Coburg, Canada, 
 where they both died. Tacy Strong was the only 
 child by both marriages. 
 
 In 1819, William C. Fargo 5 , with his wife Tacy, 
 removed from Pompey to Jamesville, N. Y., where 
 they started housekeeping. About a year afterwards 
 they returned to Pompey, where they resided in and 
 near the village of Watervale until the Spring of 1848. 
 While in Pompey, Mr. Fargo was engaged in distilling 
 and farming, besides holding the office of Constable 
 for six years. From Pompey, he moved to Cicero 
 Corners, N. Y., where he lived for seven months, 
 removing to Manlius, N.Y., near what is known as the 
 High Bridge. Here he resided for fifteen years, when 
 he consented, with his wife, to accept the gift from 
 his children of a substantial and comfortable home

 in the city of Syracuse, where they both resided until 
 their death, Mrs. Fargo's occurring November 9th, 
 1869, and Mr. Fargo's, March 16th, 1878. 
 
 In the Summer of 1875, at the age of eighty-four 
 years, Mr. Fargo made an extensive tour of the West 
 and Northwest, travelling some three thousand miles, 
 during which he visited his son Mortimer at Green 
 Bay, Wis., and also some of the scenes of his military 
 life at Mackinac, Mich. 
 
 Twelve children were born to them, namely:

FARGO FAMILY 
 
 WILLIAM GEORGE FARGO 6 — (William C. 6 , 
 
 William 4 , William 3 , Ralph 2 , Moses 1 ), was born at 
 Pompey, N. Y., May 20th, 1818. Having had the 
 advantage of the country school in the winter 
 months, at which he made ordinary proficiency in 
 the elemental English branches, he was employed 
 at the age of thirteen, to carry the United States 
 mail on horse-back from Pompey Hill by way of 
 Watervale, Manlius, Oran, Delphi, Fabius and 
 Apulia, back to Pompey Hill, a circuit of about 
 forty miles. This Post-Office business compelled 
 him to promptness and persistence, and grounded 
 in him the idea that when a contract is made, 
 it must be performed to the letter. From this 
 time until 1841 he was employed in various capaci- 
 ties, but was steadily climbing the financial ladder. 
 
 In 1841 he became freight agent of the Auburn 
 and Syracuse Railroad Company at Auburn. Soon 
 afterwards he was appointed messenger, then again 
 agent for Pomeroy & Co., who had established an 
 express line between Albany and Buffalo. The 
 express business was then in its infancy, but Mr. 
 Fargo recognized in it the elements of indefinite 
 growth and expansion. 
 
 In January, 1844, in company with Mr. Henry 
 Wells and Mr. Daniel Dunning, he organized an 
 express line from Buffalo to Detroit. In 1845 
 
 (10) 
 
FARGO FAMILY 
 
 Mr. Dunning withdrew from the firm, and in 1846 
 Mr. Wells sold his interests to Mr. William A. 
 Livingston; the firm then became Livingston & 
 Fargo. In 1850 all interests were consolidated in 
 the organization of the American Express Company, 
 of which Mr. Wells was the first President, and Mr. 
 Fargo, Secretary. Mr. Fargo afterwards became 
 President. In the year 1852, Mr. Fargo, with others, 
 organized the Wells Fargo & Co. Express. 
 
 Mr. Fargo was for some time a Director and 
 Vice-President of the New York Central Railroad 
 Company, was connected with and a large contrib- 
 utor to the enterprise of the Northern Pacific 
 Railroad, and for several years a Director. He 
 was also interested in other railroads, besides being 
 a stockholder in several of the large manufacturing 
 establishments of Buffalo. 
 
 Mr. Fargo was Mayor of Buffalo for four years, 
 from 1862 to 1866, and distinguished himself for 
 his courtesy, impartiality and executive ability. He 
 was a large and constant contributor to charitable, 
 religious and, in fact, all public enterprises; a man 
 of remarkable decision of character, an instinctive 
 judge of men with the rare power of organization 
 and control, and of unflinching resoluteness and 
 determination. His success was in no sense acci- 
 dental. He trod with a purpose all the rounds of 
 the ladder of fortune, and at no step had the faintest 
 
 (11)

 breath of suspicion ever attached to his integrity. 
 He died at Buffalo, N. Y., August 3rd, 1881. 
 
 In January, 1840, Mr. Fargo married Anna H. 
 Williams, of Pompey. They had eight children:

 1840 he entered into partnership with his elder 
 brother, William G., as a merchant and baker. 
 Upon the termination of the business he moved to 
 Auburn, to accept a position in the Auburn and 
 Syracuse Railroad Company. He continued in 
 this service until its consolidation with the organiza- 
 tion making up the New York Central Railroad 
 Company. He served the Central Road until June, 
 1856, when he removed to Buffalo, where he became 
 interested in many large enterprises. In 1873 he 
 was appointed to the position of Superintendent of 
 the Personal Property and Real Estate of the Ameri-

 He was the seventh child of WILLIAM C. FARGO and 
 his wife, whose union was blessed with twelve 
 children. This worthy couple were not burdened 
 with riches and were unable to give their children 
 such educational advantages as are only attainable by 
 people of means and consequently their son James 
 graduated at the old red school-house at Watervale. 
 Studious, ambitious to learn, and a most industrious 
 reader, he emerged from the common school a 
 better and more practical scholar than are the major- 
 at

 ity of those who regularly graduate and whose sole 
 evidence is contained in their diplomas. 
 
 At the age of fifteen, Mr. Fargo went to Buffalo 
 and entered the office of his brother, WILLIAM G. 
 FARGO, who with others was running an express line 
 between Buffalo and Albany, under the name of 
 Livingston, Wells & Pomeroy, and another between 
 Buffalo and Detroit, known as Wells & Co. After 
 discharging for a short time the duties of sweeping 
 out the office and running errands, the young man 
 was promoted to the delivery of money packages 
 about the city. At that time the express business 
 amounted to a single carpet-bag and a dozen articles 
 a day between Albany and Buffalo, and the same 
 quantity once a week between Buffalo and Detroit. 
 The railroad had just been completed to Buffalo, 
 but west of that city there was no railroad built. 
 
 In the Spring of 1847, Mr. Fargo accompanied 
 his brother to Detroit when he took up his quarters 
 in Wells & Co.'s office in that city. Early the 
 following year his brother returned to Buffalo, leav- 
 ing Mr. Fargo in partial charge of the office in 
 Detroit, and soon after giving him entire control of 
 the business in that city, first as local agent, and sub- 
 sequently, as the two trunk lines of railroad through 
 Michigan were completed, as Superintendent of 
 Wells & Co.'s business in that state. This responsible 
 
 (20) 
 
FARGO FAMILY 
 
 position was filled with signal ability and fidelity 
 until January, 1855, when he went to Chicago, hav- 
 ing been appointed agent in charge of the Chicago 
 office of the American Express Company. The old 
 previous companies, it should be stated here, had 
 been merged in 1850, into what was now known as 
 the great and powerful American Express Company. 
 Mr. Fargo, shortly after assuming charge of the 
 Company's office in Chicago, was appointed to the 
 General Superintendency of the Northwest division 
 of the Company's lines, the duties of which were 
 performed in a manner that rendered him unani- 
 mously popular with business men, idolized by his 
 employees, and commanding the respect and admir- 
 ation of the Company. Indeed his talents and genius 
 so eminently fitted him to rise, that in January, 1867, 
 he was called to the city of New York to assume the 
 position of General Superintendent of the entire 
 system of lines of the American Express Company, 
 and Director in the great Banking, Express and 
 Stage Company of the Pacific t States, Wells, Fargo 
 & Co., the business of which powerful organization 
 extends to all parts of the world. In 1872, his health 
 breaking down under the continued strain of over- 
 work, he was given a leave of absence from his 
 duties and went to Europe with his family; he re- 
 mained there some eighteen months, and returned 
 
 (21) 
 
FARGO FAMILY 
 
 to New York fully recovered in health and able to 
 begin again his responsible duties. 
 
 Mr. Fargo was made a director of the American 
 Express Company in 1859, and in 1881, at the death 
 of his brother, WILLIAM G. Fargo, who was Presi- 
 dent of the Company, he succeeded him in that im- 
 portant and responsible position. 
 
 In addition to his engrossing responsibilities as 
 General Manager of the American Express Company, 
 he found time to organize the Merchants Despatch 
 Transportation Company in 1871, of which he was 
 made President. This Company was first formed in 
 1857, to operate a fast freight system over what are 
 now known as the New York Central Lines; it at 
 once found favor with the public and has proved 
 of profit to its owners, the American Express Com- 
 pany and the New York Central Railroad. 
 
 Mr. Fargo introduced many innovations in the 
 express business and it is greatly owing to his ability 
 and energy that the Company reaches its position as 
 being the standard and greatest express company in 
 the country. He was never satisfied to let things go 
 on as they were but was always looking to improve 
 every department of the Company. In 1882 he in- 
 troduced the Money Order system, which in a few 
 years grew into an immense feature of the Express 
 Company, and was taken up by all the other Express 
 
 (22) 
 
FARGO FAMILY 
 
 Companies. Following this success, Mr. Fargo in- 
 augurated the Travelers Cheques, a system of travel- 
 ing credits which carried the fame and standing of the 
 Company to all quarters of the world. To such an 
 extent did the Money Order and Travelers Cheque 
 system extend the influence of the Company that 
 Mr. Fargo soon saw the necessity of branching out 
 the Company's lines into Europe, and accordingly, 
 in 1896, offices were opened in London and Paris, 
 to be followed soon after with offices at other impor- 
 tant points and agencies throughout the whole of 
 Europe. In short, the history of the American Ex- 
 press Company might be taken as a history of Mr. 
 Fargo's life, so thoroughly did he identify himself 
 with its interests. 
 
 Outside of the Company, Mr. Fargo holds many 
 other important positions. He is a Director in the 
 United States Express Company, National Express 
 Company, Westcott Express Company and the Chicago 
 & Northwestern R. R. Co. He is a strong church- 
 man, having identified himself as a vestryman with 
 Trinity Church in Chicago, in 1857, and on his re- 
 moval to New York in 1867, with St. Thomas' 
 Church of that city. He was soon after made Ves- 
 tryman and Treasurer of the latter church, and for 
 more than twenty-five years has held that responsible 
 position, filling it with honor to himself and benefit 
 to the church.

FARGO FAMILY 
 
 Mr. Fargo is singularly quiet and unostentatious 
 in habit and manner, his intercourse with his friends 
 being marked with a dignity bespeaking the gentle- 
 man. He possesses a light graceful figure of medium 
 size and height, a fine looking face, clear complexion 
 and kindly eye. Mr. Fargo was married to Fannie 
 Parsons Stuart, daughter of Col. John Stuart, of Battle 
 Creek, Mich., on the fifteenth of December, 1853. 
 Mr. and Mrs. Fargo had four children, two sons and 
 two daughters. On August 31st, 1896, Mr. Fargo

 Onondaga County, N. Y., April 15th, 1831. He 
 commenced his express education in the Detroit 
 office under the charge of his brother James, and 
 worked his way steadily up. After several years of 
 experience in the Detroit office, he was appointed 
 agent at Toledo, Ohio. When James C. was trans- 
 ferred to Chicago, Charles took his place at Detroit, 
 and upon the transfer of James to New York, he re- 
 
 (27) 
 
FARGO FAMILY 
 
 moved to Chicago, to assume the important position 
 of Second Vice-President of the American Express 
 Company, of which he was also a Director. It may 
 be said of Charles as of his brother James C, that he 
 grew up in the express business and gave it his 
 closest and undivided attention. In its general scope 
 and in the minutest details he was familiarly at home. 
 He deserved and won the confidence and respect of 
 all the express managers in the country, as a gentle- 
 man of marked ability and conspicuous exactness 
 and trustworthiness. His relations with railroad 
 companies and other transportation lines extended 
 over a period of nearly half a century, and, with his 
 brother James, he was probably acquainted with a 
 greater number of railroad officials and businessmen 
 in the country than any other two men of their 
 years. To him belongs a large share of credit for 
 the perfect organization and successful working of 
 the American Express Company. 
 
 On December 18th, 1854, he married Mary Jane 
 Bradford, at Cooperstown, N. Y., daughter of 
 Harvey S. Bradford, of that town. They resided in 
 Detroit, Mich., until 1867, when they removed to
