Would he not be a victim of a transcription error of his surname, taking it from German to
English. We’ve seen Cagle written as Kegel (what we now know to be the original Germanic
spelling,) Kagel and I’ve even seen Coggle in one of my lines which was transcribed
incorrectly from the census record to ancestry’s database. Koooogle makes me thing the
pronunciation could have been Kugel, Kuegel, or Koegel or Kogel - original German spelling
could have included or even likely would have included an umlaut over an o or u which
would result in the mixed vowel and hence a very long vowel to English speakers. Just
thoughts.

Dear List,One way we can connect our families is being grouped in the census. In the 1850
Haywood Co; NC census wasi counted 25 Cagle's. Two that stand out are Henry Cagle b.
1798 SC and John Cagle b. 1802 ( married Rachel Fox)Another is possible naming patterns.
i.e. German naming customs after father grandfather, mother grandmother.
The only possible father of these two men is Peter Cagle b. 1756 - 1760 NC.He is listed
as Peter Kooogle, in 1800 Lexington Co; NC census. He and his wife have three male
children b. 1791 - 1800.They also have a son 1785 - 1790. One female 1791 - 1800 and two
females 1785 - 1790. Included are Peter and wife in the brackets of 26 - 44.
Could John Cagle's birth of 1802 be off a few years? This also covers Henry Cagle,
who according to 1850 census wasborn 1798 SC.This Peter Cagle, is not the same as my line
Leonard Cagle b. Abt. 1730 Germany. Nor is he any other Peter Cagle, i have inmy family
files or else where.I believe he was discussed in John G. Cagle's Newsletters and
books but i don't have that available to me. One way i use to arrive at date of a
parent is not only to use their age brackets, but their children's as well.This gets
you much closer to the parents actual year of birth.As an example Peter and wife in the
1756 - 1774 brackets and one male and two females in the 1785 - 1790 brackets.You use
simple math to arrive at the best possible year of birth. In other words he or she would
not have been born in thelater years of the bracket 1774. More closer to the 1756 - 1760
era.Any help on this family is very much appreciated.
Best Regards,Earl D. Cagle Sr.
