Hi,
I did find a 1920 census: Alcoa, Blount Co. TN which lists:
Cable, Joe C. head age 35 born NC
Annie wife age 28 born TN
Tracy O. son age 1 yr 4 mo born TN
1930 is same city, county & state:
Cable, Joe head 44 born NC as were his parents
Annie wife 34 born TN both parents in NC
Tracy son 11 TN
Wendell son 10 TN
Joan dau 6 TN
M. L. son 5 TN
Marcel dau 3 TN
John Mark son 11 mo TN
It also tells us that Joe was 32 at first marriage & Annie 22. Joe was a barber by
trade & had no military service. However, I did find Joe's WWI draft reg. card.
His name was actually Joel Columbus Cable. He was born Oct. 24, 1884 & lists nearest
relative as wife Annie. It also lists occupation as barber & they lived in Marysville,
Blount Co. TN. Date of registration was Sept. 1918
I very well believe you may be a descendent of the well-known Casper Cable (Goebel)
& Elizabeth Baker. Should this be true, then you & I would be related. Nice to
meet you & I hope to have been of some help.
