Carole,
My index is alphabetical by name without regard to area or date so, I am unable to answer
your first question. J G Cagle's books and journals are not in any particular order
as to date and place, but more directed toward names. For example, if you wanted to know
all that was published on a given individual, you would first need to know his name and
date of birth in order to identify him in his various books, then go to the indexes of his
books and journals, then correlate the information.
As to Henry Cagle Sr, I am sure he met and married in Old Orange/Randolph County. These
are my notes for Henry Heinrich Keeley (Henry Cagle), is thought by some researchers to
have been the Heinrich who arrived at Philadelphia 30 Sep 1754 on the ship "Richard
and Mary" with John Moore it's Master, from Rotterdam last from Cowes, Eng and
Carr Dukedom of Wurtemburg in Germany. Family tradition holds Heinrich to be a brother to
Johan Conrad Kagel who arrived a year earlier, 24 Sep 1753 on the ship "Peggy" ,
James Abercrombe, Master from Rotterdam, last from Plymouth, England. It is known that
each of these men went immediately to Moore Co., NC where they bought land in the same
vicinity on Bear and Cabin Creeks, in old Orange (now Randolph) County, NC. Henry was
still living in Orange County as late as the 1764-65 period, when he appeared in county
records as a witness to land transactions.
Among the residents of Orange County who were presumably known to Henry were John and
Susannah Mayers, who also owned land in Cumberland County, and who sold to Henry the tract
of 200 acres on the East side of Buffalo Creek, which he bought in Cumberland on 29 Oct
1768. Charles, Henry's brother owned the land on the west side. Then Leonard,
another brother, received a land grant of 200 acres on Dec 22, 1768 in the same general
area; thus, the three brothers were neighbors. Henry lived on this tract of Buffalo Creek
a few years, but did not make it his permanent home; rather, he moved to the region of
upper Bear Creek in the extreme NW corner of Cumberland County, where he acquired
extensive land holdings prior to his death in 1802.
The reference to Henry Cagle in the January 1782 records of Old Cumberland County minutes
of the Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions indicate Henry was one of six road overseers
for the stretch from Campbellton to the county line in the NW part of the county. The
road is not named, but the description of its route would be the Wachovia Rd (Old Salem
Road), which extended NW to SE through the county. Henry was overseer for that portion
which ran between McClendon's and Bear Creeks which would indicate he lived somewhere
in that general vicinity. Later, he moved upstream on Bear Creek, to its headwaters near
the Montgomery and Randolph County lines.
Moore County, North Carolina Land Grants to Henry on improvements to land: (1) 1792-100A
on both sides of Bear Creek; (2) 1795-100A Head of Bear Creek; (3) 1795-100A on both
sides of Cow Branch, NW side of Wolf Creek; (4) 1795-50A on both sides of Cow Branch, NW
side of Wolf Creek; (5) 1796-25A on both sides of South prong of Bear Creek; (6)
1797-20A on N side of Bear Creek; (7) 1800-21A on both sides of S Prong of Bear Creek.
Henry lists himself as a property owner in Moore County, North Carolina as early as 1768
and remained until his death in 1802. His home place was on upper Bear Creek in northwest
Moore County. His Will of 1802 divided his estate among his 8 sons and 2 daughters.
Henry Cagle, Sr. died after March 22, 1802, Moore Co., NC. Source: Henry's Will,
October 1988 Cagle Journal page 4. Henry Cagle; Moore County; Will probated in 1802;
Recorded copy in Will Book A, page 224
He may have married twice, this has not been proven. Some believe a 9th son, David Cagle,
born 1760s, preceded Henry Cagle, Sr. in death, having died during the 1790s.
An apparent reference to the use of his farm as a muster ground, in June 1776, is seen in
Manly Wade Wellman's book "The Story of Moore County" (1974), pp.22-23. The
text cites a "Henry Eagle" on Bear Creek, but this is most certainly a miss
reading of "Henry Cagle", since there is no record of Henry Eagle having lived
in this region:
"Two stalwarts for the Whig cause, Philip Alston and Thomas Matthews, were
commissioned colonels in the State Militia and enlisted their neighbors in armed units to
scout the Deep River country for those who still dared to side with King George. Around
the first of Jun, Alston called for a muster at Henry Cagle's on Bear Creek. Mounted
details went out looking for recruits, and Tory sympathizers faded away...."
Henry's service during the Revolution was probably in the Militia, which gave support
to the regular Continental Troops. On 19 August 1873, Henry presented a Claim to the
State of North Carolina for compensation in the sum of 13 pound, 11 shillings and 4 pence
for his service in the militia during the War. This can be found in Vol V, page 55, Folio
3, NC Revolutionary Army Accounts, Claim #1854, Militia, 13-11-4. Also cited are his
brothers Leonard and John Cagle.
Henry appeared in the Minute Book of the Cumberland Co., NC Court of Pleas and Quarters
Sessions, for 29 Jan 1782 when he was appointed road overseer from McClendon's Creek
to Bear Creek.
Henry had a Land Entry in Cumberland County, presently Moore County, in 1768 and is known
to have added to his 150 acres tract on Bear Creek, by acquiring tracts of 100, 100, 50,
100, 25, 20 and 21 acres, by land grant from the State of North Carolina, between the
years of 1792 and 1801.
Other county records of Henry include:
(1) A deed from Henry Kagle and wife to Zack Smith was sworn by the oath of William
Mehoson and ordered to be registered, February 1785.
(2) Henry Cagle, Hardy Davis and Roger Cagle among those ordered to serve on the jury at
the next term of court, May 1790.
(3) Henry Cagle records his Mark: In the right ear, an over slope and in the left ear,
an over slope. This mark was used for identification purposes on livestock, Aug 1790.

Cagle, William, 1-1-2, p.044 (son of Henry Sr Cagle)
Cagle, Christian, 1-1-1, p.043 (son of Henry Sr Cagle)
The census brackets for Henry's household, reading from left to right, indicate that
his household contained three males over 16 (probably himself and his 3d and 4th sons
Henry Jr and Peter), four males under 16 (sons: John, Jacob, George and Martin), and four
females (wife and three daughters).
Henry Sr was enumerated in the 1800 Census of Moore Co as 03101-00001 on pg. 046 followed
by his sons William 2001-2101, pg. 046; Henry Jr 103-301, pg 048; and Peter 0001-001, pg

Henry's Will was filed March 22, 1802, Will Book A. pp. 224 and 225 Moore Co., NC and
lists his surviving sons as William, Christopher, Henry Jr, Peter, John, Jacob, George and
Martin. Inna Caterana Cockman is listed as a daughter, in Henry's will.

The 1810 Census of Moore Co., NC included Caty Cagle, widow of Henry Sr and followed by
her sons who were all heads of households; Christian, Henry Jr, Peter, John, Jacob, and
George.
During the decade of the 1810s, William and Christopher Cagle, the oldest sons of Henry
and Caterana, moved back to Tennessee, with Christopher returning to Blount Co., and
William locating in the adjoining county of Sevier. Both remained permanently in
Tennessee, with William later being enumerated in the 1850 census of Sevier Co at age 96,
and Christopher being enumerated in the 1850 census of Blount Co at age 89. The six
younger sons of Henry and Caterana continued to live in Moore Co., NC, and appeared as
landowners on the Tax List of 1815, which is one of the few early tax lists to survive for
Moore County. A summary of their holdings from that list, showing number of acres and
value of land is as follows:
Cagle, Henry Jr 550A (7 tracts) $510
Cagle, Peter 280A (1 tract) $250
Cagle, John 185A (1 Tract) $200

Subject: [CAGLE] Do John G. Cagle's publications mention any Cagles west of the
Catawba R. in NC from 1750 to 1800?
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2009 19:23:32 -0600
Do John G. Cagle's publications mention any Cagles west of the Catawba River
in North Carolina from 1750 to 1800? If they do, which Cagles were there
then?
Since Henry Cagle, Sr. lived in what is now Moore Co., NC, and married
Catherine Seitz the daughter of John Henry Seitz, I am wondering how Henry
and Catherine met. I thought John Henry Seitz lived west of the Catawba
River. Do you know if the John Henry Seitz who lived west of the Catawba
River in what was then Anson Co., NC is the same Henry Sides who was in
Rowan Co., NC before 25 October 1761 and the Henry Sights who was in
Mecklenburg Co., NC before 6 April 1765?
See my notes below which I have copied and pasted from an article I
previously wrote on Michael Christman, Sr.
1761 October 25: Henry Sides had made an improvement before this date on
land "on the South Branch of Second Creek"15 [Dutch Second Creek] in Rowan
County, North Carolina. Lawrence Lingle received a warrant for this land on
25 October 1761. Lingle's grant date: 21 December 1761.16
1765 April 6: Michael granted 340 acres "On the North Branches of Dutch
Buffelow including his own & Henry Sights Improvements." From a land entry
for Jeremiah Clonch [Clontz], we learn that Michael's 340 acres were on
Shenewolfs (sic) Creek also known as Jenny Wolf Creek.19
There was a Henry Sights, who lived west of the Catawba River, in Anson
County, on Killlions Mill Creek, who had made improvements by the time of
his 13 October 1756 patent for 140 acres.20 I think it is quite likely he
fled to an area east of the Catawba River, due to a Cherokee uprising west
of the Catawba River in April 1759.21 He could be the same Henry Sides,
who was on Dutch Second Creek in southern Rowan County before 25 October
1761.
The fact that he did not get a grant in Rowan County may mean he did not
intend to remain there, because he already had property elsewhere and
intended to return to it. If this were the case, it seems he didn't think
it was safe to move back to west of the Catawba River, when, in 1761,
Lawrence Lingle began the process of getting a grant for the land on which
Henry had made an improvement and on which Henry may have still been living.
Henry apparently moved south over the county line into Mecklenburg County,
where he again made improvements. He did not get a grant there either.
