A History of Masonry in Madison County, Kentucky 1812-1913, compiled and written by Robert R. Burnam, 1914, p. 52. JAMES ARGO, was born in Maryland in 1788 and removed to Kentucky early in life. He followed various useful pursuits, having been a carpenter, a merchant and a farmer. In 1818 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Woods Kavanaugh, Dr. William R. Letcher was one of his groomsmen. He left Kentucky and removed to Ohio, Harlan County, where he died in 1865. He has a grandson, William K. Argo, who is a distinguished educator, now living at Colorado Springs, Colorado. He received all his degrees in Richmond Lodge, being initiated December 11, 1815, and passed and raised January, 1816. He was elected Master of his Lodge June 1818, and served for one year. His year, like those of his two immediated predecessors, shows no gain in the membership of the Lodge. It may be surmised that all was not harmonious, because only a little later Irvine Lodge was chartered.
