Can anyone connect with this Nancy Cagle. She indicates in the 1880
census that she
was born in Georgia and both parents in South Carolina; however, I
suspect this should
be father,North Carolina; mother, South Carolina.
It appears they were probably married in Alabama, maybe the
Huntsville area and as indicated below, the first three children were
born in Alabama.
I am thinking she may be the daughter of Samuel Cagle, b. 1818 and Esther
Johnson,
b. 1820, South Carolina. Samuel's daughter was born in that part of
Paulding County
which later became Haralson County, Georgia. As to her age of 32 in the
1880 census
below, this would not be the first time for ladies (bless them) to fudge
their ages a
few years, especially when they marry a younger man even if only 2-3
years.
Can anyone confirm this theory.
Lee Cagle
NOTE TO: Jimmy B. Cagle, notice they moved to Itawamba Co., MS where all
their children
were married. Thought you might have something in your files to identify
her parentage.
