Dear List,
It came time in my family tree when i needed to complete the page for Cheatom Cagle
(Cheatom ? ).
Starting out online looking at others work there was only partial birth dates, and wrong
date and place deaths.
Worldconnect is a wonderful place to search for ancestors. However, you had better take
what you find sometimes
with a grain of salt.
So i started from scratch and after working several hours over three days i had success.
Cheatham Washington Cagle, was born 31 Jan 1874 in Warren County, TN. He died on 12 Jul
1949 in Springfield,
Greene County, Missouri.
As most of us know his parents were Abraham J. Cagle, and Mary Ann Smith.
Finding his wife was not easy and what data online as to name was wrong. No one i could
find had her complete name.
Amanda Carolina Ayres, was born 04 May 1877 in Protem, Taney County, Missouri. She died 04
Jun 1957 in Billings, Christian County, Missouri.
Her father was Vinson Montgomery Ayres, born 09 Feb 1842 in Clinton County, Kentucky. He
is listed as dying on 30 Mar 1918 in Taney County, Missouri. However, i could find no
death certificate for him there at this date.
This data on him came from several sources on Worldconnect.
His wife is listed as Lucinda Jane Ayres. I have no maiden name or marriage for them.
Perhaps someone on our list
can help.
Now back to Cheatam & Amanda Cagle. I looked for their marriage and am sure i found
it.
They were listed as CW Cagle & MA Austin, married on 08 Aug 1897 in Boone County,
Arkansas. Notice the different
last name for Amanda or MA Austin. I looked at a copy of the hand written license and it
did say MA Austin.
Looking at Worldconnect there was one child listed as Zelbert F. Cagle. I found his
complete vitals online. He was born
19 Sep 1898 in Boone County, Arkansas. Looking at the 1900 Census for Cheatham &
Amanda they were listed in Boone
County, Arkansas. So everything matched up as to the date and place of Cheatham &
Amanda's wedding, and the coinciding census record. Not sure about the wrong last name
for Amanda, on their marriage record.
Zelbert F. Cagle. died on 20 Nov 1974 in Springfield Greene County, Missouri.There was
another son Homer Newton Cagle, born 26 Jul 1907 in Boone County, Arkansas. He died on 28
Feb 1974 in Springfield
Greene County, Missouri. They had two daughters also Elzada Cagle 1903 Boone County,
Arkansas. And Oder E. Cagle born inBoone County, Arkansas in 1912.
At this time i have no complete information on the daughters. Again perhaps someone can
help here.
In closing all of my information came from Missouri death certificates,obituary. marriage,
and census records.
In my research i always try to find and use reliable sources.
For those who may be closely related to Cheatham & Amanda Cagle, i hope this helps.
Cheatham, is a distant 5th. cousin one time removed to me.
Best Regards,
Earl D. Cagle Sr.
