Research shows: "CAPT. DAVID CARGILL came to Newcastle about 1730 or 31. He was of Scotch descent and emigrated from Ireland. He was employed by Tappan to survey his lands. On the twenty-third of Dec. 1741, he purchased of Mary Mulford, the wife of Elias Mulford, who was the granddaughter of John Mason, all her right, title and interest, which she had in the tract of land that Mason purchased of the Indians in 1652. The price paid was ninety-nine pounds. His residence_was near Weare Island, where Col. James Cargill, his son, afterwards-lived. He was a man of ability and influence among the settlers, and was the father of a numerous family and posterity. In the Spanish war, he was Captain of a company of Militia, called out in defence of his country, and against the incursions of the savages. In Dec. 2, 1745, he was at Sheepscot in command of the Garrison, and in addressing Gov. Phipps on military matters, among other things, he very sensibly suggests that "if any of my company are dismissed, I pray I may have the liberty to dismiss some that are not fit for duty."
