Lee,
What a thoroughly documented and excellently explained discription of Henry
Cagle's life. Would you know anything of Henry's son John? My ancestor Jacob
Cagle, born ca 1810-15 was the son of John Cagle and Jane ?. John, born ca
1782 died in Henderson Co NC in 1854 and wife Jane born about 1785, died 1856
Henderson Co. John's will simply states he left his estate to his wife Jane
and children (unnamed). I have documented that my Jacob was the son of John
and Jane by a deed that was not recorded until after 1900.
I would really appreciate any info you might share regarding Henry's son John
so that I can either eliminate or include him as a possible father of Jacob.
Henry's John would have been the right age (under 16 in 1790) to be the
father of Jacob.
Thanks for any assistance you might give me as I am really stumped. There was
also a William and a Leonard Cagle living in Henderson (old Buncombe) at the
same time. I feel this may be brothers of Jacob but that is only an
assumption.

Heinrich Kegele (Henry Cagle), is thought by some researchers to have
been
the Heinrich who arrived at Philadelphi 30 Sep 1754 on the ship "Richard and
Mary" with John Moore it's Master, from Rotterdam last from Cowes, England
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.
1790 Census, Moore Co., NC: Cagle, Henry Sr, 3-4-4, p.043
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 047.
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. Caterana Cockman is listed as a
daughter-in-law in Henry's will. Some believe she was the daughter of his
wife, Caterana's first marriage to Joseph Cockman, though, this has not been
proved. Others believe she was the widowed daughter-in-law of David Cagle,
d. 1800, thought to be the 3rd son of Henry, this theory is favored by
most.

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 Jr550A(7 tracts)$510
Cagle, Peter280A(1 tract)$250
