Famous Magargee Artists
Name spellings found:Megarge, Megargee, Magarge, Magargee, Mgarge
There are at least two famous artists as found online along with pictures of many of their paintings, drawings and sketches.
I am not related to this family in any way.I am helping a friend with her family history.Her mother was married to a Megargee and in that marriage, two children were born.
Sylvester Edwin Megargee born Dec 08, 1882 PA - his father was an attorney.He had a brother named Laurence Anthony Megargee born 1900.His artistic talents were of dogs of every breed.
Lawrence Alonzo "Lon" Megargee was born Aug 1882 PA - his father was an attorney.He may have been an only child.His mother was Cuban. His artistic talents were more about the western/cowboy theme.
Perhaps Sylvester and Lon are first or second cousins.
It is reported Lon was married 7 times however I found only 3 wives in census searches.I was trying to connect Lon to Sylvester Edwin Megargee but have not been successful.
Sylvester is a descendant of Patrick Megargee born about 1715 Belfast, Ireland and it is reported that Lon also descends from Patrick.
I have found a few family trees online and will be submitting my Megargee research online.I will not have much for Lon because I cannot locate much online about his family tree.
I did locate a picture of Lon's son and grandson holding one of Lon's paintings.
I will be happy to share my research materials.
