Wonderful! Thank you for the suggestions, I really appreciate it. Can't wait to check
them out!
Love the info attached! How cool is that?! So Interesting!
Hey, here's a question- has anyone mentioned or noticed any bloodline physical
similarities from Leonhart. In other words, I've read items describing people with
their "black hair and black eyes" but I've always been told regarding the
red hair, light skin and green eyes in 3-4 known generations of our family (only a few red
heads- but most are fair skin and light eyes) that it's "a Cagle thing".
Obviously I know due to the mixing and marrying of Native Americans, Hispanics, etc in
some U.S. areas, the genetics will evolve. Its random I know, but just curious if anything
has ever been mentioned.
Thanks!

Keri and List,
As many of you know the amount of genealogical information on the internet has vastly
improved
over the years. However, there are many limits to what is available. I am not an expert on
early
divorce records. But in my many years of research I have only seen a few.
My suggestion is to go to the county and state involved. Remember that over the years
there
have been fires, and tornadoes that have destroyed court house records.
Finding old photos, bible records, and stories handed down are also hard to find.
I was lucky to connect to a Gunter family cousin, and she sent me many photos I didn't
have.
My prized picture is of my grandparents taken about the time of their wedding.
They are Marquis DeLafayette Cagle Sr; and Mary Elizabeth Gunter Cagle.
Keri, it looks like you have used some of the best research sites. Here are a few I
suggest :
Census Online
Chronicling America great for looking for ancestors in old newspapers
Cyndi's List
Genwed
Rootsweb
USGenweb
Online searchable death Indexes. They list the states and what death records are online
Find A Grave
Internet Archive Digital Library. Great for census records not available at other places
They also have books journals Etc I have found books with marriage, death and other
records.
There are stories and photos out there if you connect to someone sharing your genealogy.
Keri, it looks like you have the information on your Cagle family.
If there are specific people you need help with just ask.
Found this bit of data about a member of your family on USGenweb's Clay County,
Indiana site.
CASS TOWNSHIP.
JOHN ANDERSON was born in Monroe County, Ind. , July 8, 1820,
and is the fifth of eleven children of Isaac and Barbara (Dyer) Anderson,
the former a native of Maryland and of English, the latter a native of
Delaware, and of Irish, descent. They came to this county in April,
1821, and located in this township, of which neighborhood they were
pioneers, and where Isaac Anderson died. The country was then a wilderness
in the depth of which John was reared; obtained but very little
education, and was reared to manhood at the labor of a farmer.
October 4. 1846, he married Sarah Cagle, a native of North Carolina, and daughter
of John and Sarah (Lathem) Cagle, to which union were born six
children—Levi (deceaned), Elizabeth (deceased), James, Ezekiel (deceased),
Isaac B. and Ellen. Mr. Anderson is one of the pioneers of
this county, and follows the trade of a carpenter and wagon-maker. He
has seen the growth of this region, the disappearanc-^ of the log cabins,
and the substitution of modern dwellings. Mr. Anderson is a much
esteemed citizen.
The best part of genealogy is finding new family members you didn't know you have.
