I want to follow up on some information sent out by Nancy Jane about Leonard
Cagle, b. 1730 son of Leohhart. Leonard and his wife Susannah Richardson
are my gr, gr, gr, gr, grandparents and I was hoping someone might be able
to clarify some things.
Nancy wrote:
8 vi. Leonard Cagle, born 1730 in Obermehilgen , Germany
or Rotterdam, Holland; died 1808 in Clark County, Georgia. He married
Susannah Richardson.
Notes for Leonard Cagle:
Several other possible children , not named in Georgia records , from
various othere records. Some other children of Leonard Cagle and Susanna
Richardson include two daughters, names unknown, born 1774-90, according
to the 1790 census . Leonard Cagle, 1780-1845, and Sampson Cagle,
1782-1874, who moved from Montgomery County, NC. to Warren County, KY. by
1807, . Robert , Simon and Paul Cagle, born in 1780s and Adam and Abraham
Cagle, born in the 1790s all of Hickman and Perry Countys of Tennessee.
Leonard Cagle, 1740-1814, wife Susanna Richardson Cagle:
Leonard's first land grant was in 1768 , Cumberland Co. North Carolina, 200
acres both along the water of little Buffalo Creek. He sold this land in
the
late 1770 and bought land at beer creek, 50 acres, was granted to him on
December1790.
Land Lottery in Georgia 1803-1807. after the Land Lottery, Leonard moved
back to North Carolina.
My Questions:
-- In looking at this information Leonard is shown b. 1730 and d. 1808 in
Clark Co., GA. In the information about his land holdings it has his dates
a 1740 - 1814. Do we know for a fact that he died in GA in 1808 or is that
speculation? Also birth years are different.
--Are the children of Leonard and Susannah speculation or are they
confirmed? Missing from the list is Charles Cagle b. 1789 who is the
ancestor of me and Earl.
--Was Leonard in Hickman & Perry Co TN? Now this relates to land holdings.
He had land in NC at Buffalo Creek which he sold late 1770. Bought 50 acres
at Bear Creek granted to him Dec., 1790. Where is Bear Creek? If in NC how
did he have children circa 1790 (ie Adam and Abraham) in TN. Charles Cagle,
my ancestor did settle in Hickman CO circa 1806. Was Leonard there as well?
--He participates in the GA land lottery 1803 - 1807, moves back to NC? If
he participated in this lottery did he go there from TN? Second if the 1808
GA date of death is correct did he go back to NC and then return to GA?
If any body can help clarify this information I would appreciate it. I have
been trying for a long time to straighten out Leonard and Susannah.
Thanks!
