This may have been posted to the list before.
However, with all the new members it's worth
repeating.
There were several Cagle's, listed in the 1850
Monroe Co; Tn; census.
I am not sure where Henry & Martin Cagle, fit
in there.
If either of them are in your family tree, these
claims may be very useful.

SOUTHERN CLAIMS COMMISSION -- TENNESSEE : INTRODUCTION AND INDEX
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
This index lists Tennesseans who filed claims with the Southern Claims
Commission from 1871 to 1873. These 3,929 Tennesseans claimed their
property had been taken by United States military personnel for use in
the Civil War.
The claim files include interesting detail about people and about the
Civil War period in Tennessee. Each claimant was required to describe
his losses in detail, and to prove his loyalty to the Union. Witnesses
gave testimony in support of his allegations. The paperwork in the files
is often extensive.
All of the Southern Claims Commission files are located at the National
Archives, but the disallowed and barred claim files have been
microfilmed and are also available at the Tennessee State Library and
Archives. Allowed claim files are available only by consulting the
National Archives.
This index is based on volume 55 of Record Group No. 56, General Records
of the Department of the Treasury, at the National Archives. It is
duplicated on National Archives microcopy M-87, reel 13. The indication
as to whether the claim was allowed, disallowed, or barred is based on
the book Southern Loyalists in the Civil War : the Southern Claims
Commission by Gary B. Mills (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co.,
1994).
If you wish to order a copy of a barred or disallowed claim file, e-mail
the Tennessee State Library and Archives and request a price quote. The
cost will depend on the length of the file. Due to the number of
requests received daily, we ask that you only submit one request at a
time for a single record.
