Jerry hi this is LaMona Phillips a descendant of old Henry Cagle I am so
glad you came by and helped It seems all our new comers take the wrong
wording for Henry's daughter. I got to where I never tried to help any more
as I don't like to get tied up for long time. Sincerely, LaMona

If you look at the actual Henry Cagle will is says, "Daughter
In=" (end of
line) with the next line beginning, "na Caterana Cockman" or something
similar to that. There is a black ink mark over the start of the next line
partially covering the "na". This is not the first time I have seen names
split at the end of a line in old documents. I worked for about 10 years
in a Historian's Office preparing old court documents for microfilming by
the state archives and names split at the end of lines was not totally
uncommon.
The transcriber assumed it was "daughter-in-law". In the actual document
there is no line between daughter and in. Often when a name was split they
used "=" instead of a single line of "-". This is not completely true
however for this will because in a later line daughter is split as
"daugh=ter". It does not appear to be "Daughter-In-Law" in the
actual
will to me. Always look at the original document if you can because
transcribers can and do make mistakes.
