Thanks Lee,
I agree something is wrong with the 1850 census Where George Cagle is
concerned. I checked a copy of the original census and his Wife's name is
definitely listed as Catherine. But note the son Columbus at the bottom of
the family list which indicated that George may have been married twice.
The records show that George and Margaret Malinda Matthews obtained a
marriage license 12 Jan 1849 and the license was recorded on 7 April 1849.
Catherine may have been a nick-name as Malinda definitely should have
appeared on that census? Or, someone may have given the census taker the
name of his first wife? Still no luck on George and family after 1880
Fannin Co., TX.

Descendants of George Cagle
Generation No. 1
1. George5 Cagle (Henry Jr4, Henry Sr3, Johan Theobald Dewalt2, Leonhart1
Kegel) was born 1824 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, and died Aft.
1862 in Fannin County, Texas. He married Margaret Malinda Matthews 12
January 1849 in New Madrid Co., Missouri, daughter of Martha Matthews.
She was born 1837 in New Madrid Co., Missouri.
Notes for George Cagle:
George was born in NC. Henry migrated to Hardin County, Tennessee abt
1821. In 1838, Henry and the family moved to New Madrid County, Missouri.
The 1850 transcribed census is in error. The wife should be Malinda. An
explanation for the error is not known, maybe a neighbor gave the
information to the census taker and couldn't remember the wife's name,
etc. Also, Columbus apparently, died before the 1860 census.
