Hi Earl and List,
The roll call seems like a good idea and a great opportunity to toss those
seemingly impenetrable "brick walls" out for another viewing. So far I am
batting "0" after much searching. I want to learn how she connects to the
Cagle family. It seems she wants to remain a mystery. She is not a part of
my direct line. My interest is learning how, or if, she relates the other
Cagle families in Mississippi, or perhaps Western Alabama. I have found no
other record of her although some of her children continue to appear in the
census in later years and some of her descendants still live in northeast MS.
This is the way she appeared in the 1870 census of Prentiss County,
Mississippi on page 5, in the town of Booneville, Household and Dwelling No.
275, as follows:
Cagle, Francis, E. 39 AL Keep house
John W. 20 AL Farm Laborer
Margaret E. 19 AL
Liddy 14 AL
Elisa A. 12 AL
Mary L. 9 AL
Ambrose 5 AL
Also have not been able to find her in 1850 or 1860 AL Census where, judging
by children's birth dates, they must have resided.
I have often thought she might be a widow of the Civil War, and I have a
candidate from MS, but have never been able to connect him to any family
either. Could the George Cagle below be her husband???? He appears in the
records of Mississippi Soldiers in the CSA as follows:
Pvt. GEORGE CAGLE, Co. K, 42nd Regt., Mississippi
Volunters, enlisted May 14, 1862, Saltillo, MS; died in
hospital in Charlottsville, VA, December 24, 1863. One
military record gives the following information: Enlisted at
Age 48, was born in NC, was married, Post Office nearest to
his home at time of enlistment was Fenton (?Fulton),
Mississippi. Have been unable to find any other records of
this George Cagle. Will Appreciate any help.
