My point is that I have seen it noted several times that Jacob made his
will in 1836 there in Warren Co. TN, but I have never seen a published
copy of that will.

Joseph & List,
First off Joseph, I want to congratulate you on
the nice job you did on Jacob Cagle's posting.
I was sure you wouldn't mind if I copied & pasted it, to our Cagle list.
To the list members this is posted at Tennessee's USGenWeb site.
Joseph, has the county courthouse for Warren
Co; Tn; had a fire in the past, or another natural
disaster? Have they been able to tell you if
probate, and other court records were lost for this time period?
If his will was probated in open court, the clerk
should have a record of it.
You may have to make a trip to Warren Co; one
day and do some searching on your own.
Earl
