This is a lot of information! Just how did you link John b 1782 of
Buncombe/Henderson Co as being brother of Charles and Jacob? Is there
documentation anywhere that says that John Cagle of Buncombe is the same
John Cagle listed in the will of Charles Cagle Sr of Stanley Co? (ie a deed
saying "to John Cagle of Stanley (Montgomery/Moore etc) Co."
What happened to his brothers Leonard and George. Is it possible that
Leonard, son of Charles Sr., is the same Leonard born 1798 who is in
Buncombe Co and later Transylvania? Since Leonard was born 1798 and Charles
Sr. did not die until 1801 the possibility is there but doubtful. Any
thoughts.
I have assumed that William Thomas Cagle, b 1806 and died 1885, was also a
son of John and Jane Cagle but do not have any proof other than the fact
that John says he has "children" not "child" and William was the only
other
Cagle other than Leonard and Henry. The 1830 census lists only one son
living at home which may have been Jacob as he did not start having children
until 1839. Henry's first child was born prior to 1830. In 1820 John
appears to have 2 sons and 5 daughters. I cannot identify any of the
daughters. I also suspect that Henry Cagle (d ca 1858, Henderson Co NC) who
married Rebecca Justus is a son of John and Jane, especially since Jacob
married Rebecca's sister Rachel Justus. Henry was born ca 1806 and Jacob
between 1810 and 1812. If Jacob and Henry were the 2 sons where does that
leave William and Leonard? When Henry's wife Rebecca died he moved with his
children to Buncombe Co. where he is listed on the 1860 census.
William Cagle married Anthoret Thomas (5 Jan 1810 - 1 Mar 1859) and 2nd
Catherine Case. (marriage records and cemetery records). Since William was
also born in 1806 (listed 54 in 1860) that would make 3 sons at home in
1820 - William, Jacob and Henry. The question is of the 3 possible -
William, Jacob, Henry, who were all between 8 and 14 or 15 - were the 2
males listed in 1820? I have only been able to document one, Jacob.
In 1835 Buncombe Co Poll books list Jacob Cogle (sp) and John Cagle living
in Clear Creek Precinct. William and Leonard were listed in Flat Rock
precinct. Both in what is now Henderson County. Clear Creek being to the
north east and Flat Rock being to the south west. There is also a John
Cargle in Haywood Co. but Henry Cagle is not found.
I am happy to see that my book, "Abstract Henderson Co. NC Estate Records
1838-1900" is helping with the research.

In addition to Valentine, this group included three young men, John
Cagle,
1782-1854, Charles Cagle Jr., b. 1770, and Jacob Cagle, b. 1770s, who are
probably nephews of Valentine, and sons of Charles Cagle, Sr., who died in
1801 in old Montgomery (present Stanly) Co., NC. At the time of the 1800
Census, these three men were enumerated in Buncombe County: Valentine
(1211-1021), Charles (0001-3001) and Jacob (001-101). Valentine and
Charles are erroneously listed in the 26-45 age bracket. Valentine;
however, had a son and two daughters in the 16-26 age bracket, so must
have been 40-45 years of age. Charles was somewhat younger, having only
three daughters under 10 at home; was probably around 30 yrs of age.
Jacob was younger still, enumerated in the 16-26 bracket. Valentine did
have a son named John, 1798-1863; but, this John must be distinguished
from John , 1782-1854, of the 1806 entry. Valentine's John later moved
with him to Tennessee, and eventually settled in wh!
at is now Winston Co., AL in the1830s. John, 1782-1854, is a brother of
Charles and Jacob Cagle. Compare with the Estate Settlement of Charles
Cagle, Sr in Montgomery (Stanly) Co., in 1803, in which his sons are named
as Charles, Jacob, John, Leonard, and George.
Among the early residents of Mecklenburg Co., NC were Conrad Hartwick and
wife Susanna Cagle, daughter of Charles Cagle Sr; the Hartwicks began to
appear in Mecklenburg Co census records in 1790 and by 1810 were joined by
John Cagle, who is now known to have been Susanna's younger brother.
Another daughter of Charles Cagle Sr was Catherine "Kitty" Cagle, who
married Elias Horn, and appeared in the 1800 and 1810 census in nearby
Montgomery Co., NC. At the time of the 1820 census, the Hartwicks, Horns
and John Cagle were all absent from the census records, either having been
missed by the Census taker, or having been residents of Montgomery Co.,
NC, for which the 1820 census has been destroyed. However, the death of
Elias Horn, and his appearance in Probate Records in Mecklenburg Co in
1822 provides the clue for the identification of John Cagle. Elias Horn's
will, found in Mecklenburg County Will Book D, p.81, which is summarized,
clearly shows that he was the brother in l!
aw of John Cagle. "p81. Elias Horn. 11 Jan 1822, prb in Aug 1822 ct.

In 1806, John Cagle entered the first of his NC land grants on
Fetherston's Creek in Buncombe Co., now Henderson County, NC. This was
not far from the Valentine and Charles Cagle entries of the 1798-1803 era.
While Valentine and Charles eventually migrated to TN, John Cagle,
1782-1854, remained in Henderson County the rest of his life and left many
descendants in the region.
John was a young man of about 24 years at the time of his entry of 1806,
and this may have been his first land acquisition. His tract lay on the
head branches of Fetherston and Millar Creeks, on the south side of the
mountain between Clear Creek and Hooper's Creek, present Henderson County,
NC of the present town of Hendersonville. The chain carriers for the
survey were James Morgan and himself.
John's second land entry in what is now Henderson County came in late
1807, and was situated on the Middle Fork of Fetherston's Creek. This was
in the same general area as his first entry in 1806. This consisted of
100 acres and adjoined his own property, and the land of James Morgan, who
had been his chain carrier at his entry of 1806. By the time of the
survey, on 19 Apr, 1808, John apparently was living on his entry of 1806,
for the survey notes his new entry as "Beginning on Three Spanish Oaks and
a Dogwood standing in a hollow and near the path that leads from sd.
Cagle's house to his field on the mountain". The tract lay on the North
and Middle Forks of Fetherston's Creek.
In the census of 1810, only John Cagle remains in Buncombe County of the
Cagles who had lived in the Hooper Creek area. Jacob Cagle 1755-1845,
another brother of Valentine, had moved from Moore to Buncombe County by
1810, but was located in what is now Transylvania County, many miles from
John:
1810 Buncombe Co., NC: Cagle, John 2001-10__Unknown___
Cagle, Jacob
11101-01_Unknown__
At the time of the census of 1810, when John Cagle first appeared as a
head of household, he was living on his place on Fetherston's Creek, which
he had entered in 1806 and 1807. In 1811; however he sold 100 acres on
Fetherston's Creek to Benjamin Lewis, recorded in Deed Book D, page 87, on
15 Nov 1811.
By 1820, John had been joined in the census records by a Leonard Cagle,
1798-1866, who himself would later appear in eight land entries in what
are now Henderson and Transylvania County in 1828-1830 and 1857-1858:
1820 Buncombe Co., NC Cagle, John 11001-4101
Cagle, Leonard 0101-101
By the time of the 1820 Census, Leonard and Mary Osborne Cagle who had
married in Jan 1819, were enumerated in Buncombe County "0101-101". The
infant daughter in their home for the 1820 Census of Buncombe County was
Anna Cagle who later married Caleb Orr, b. 1822. The young male in the
10-15 age bracket (1804-1810) is thought to be Leonard's younger brother,
Henry Washington Cagle and who later bought a tract of land with Leonard
on Mud Creek in 1833. Henry later had a land entry in Old Buncombe Co.,
in 1835.
The next land entry for John came on 6 Sep 1822, and was situated "on
waters of Mud Creek & Hungary". This location, on Mud Creek and Hungary
Creek, was near the present town of Hendersonville. This was surveyed in
October of 1823, and granted 30 Nov 1824 consisting of 200 acres
described as being on "Top of the Blue Ridge" and on the "East Side of the
Ridge, Headwaters of Mud and Hungry Creeks". Adjoining landowners
mentioned are Lyons' corner and Steel's path. The chain carriers were
Jesse McMinn and John Lyons. Though this was John's last land grant, he
bought and sold a number of other tracts of land in this region in the
years following.

By 1830, they were joined in the census records by John's son, William
Cagle, 1806-1885, who appears as a head of household for the first time.
Leonard, 1798-1854, and Henry c.1803-Aft 1880, were nephews of John.
Leonard eventually moved into what is now Transylvania (then part of old
Buncombe), and Henry moved northward into that part of the county which
remained as Buncombe, after the boundary changes. Henderson County was
formed from Buncombe in 1838, and in the census of 1840, three Cagle
household were listed:
1840 Henderson Co., NC Cagle, William 111001-21001
Cagle, Jacob
00001-10001
Cagle, Leonard
12101--11001
John seems to have been missed by the census taker in 1840, but later
appeared in the 1850 census of Henderson. John's son William, 1806-1885,
was joined as a head of household by his younger brother Jacob b. 1812.
Leonard Cagle, 1798-1866, and wife, are here listed in the wrong age
bracket by the census taker (listed in the 20-30 but, are actually in
their forties). In 1850, John Cagle appears in his final census in
Henderson County at the age of 68, with sons William and Jacob living
nearby.

*This listing was provided secondhand; if correct, it would seem that
Jacob Cagle, b. 1812, was listed by a middle name in 1850. In 1860, he is
again enumerated as Jacob. Leonard Cagle and family also, are enumerated
in Henderson County in 1850.
Space does not permit an account of the many land transactions of John
Cagle, 1782-1854, in the Henderson County area, most of which occurred
after these three land entries of 1806, 1807, and 1822. However, an
account of these has already been given in the chapter on Henderson County
in the "Cagle Families in the South to 1850, Vol l, North Carolina by John
G. Cagle. John Cagle, it is believed, died in 1854 in Henderson County.
Will dated 3 Jan. 1852 and probated June Session of 1854, Henderson Co. NC
Book 1, Page 37:
"In the name of God amen. I, John Cagle of Henderson Co. NC being sick and
not expecting to live much longer in the world but being perfectly sound
in mind do make this my last will and testament.
First, I will and bequeath to my wife Jane (or Jinny) all the land where I
now live consisting of one hundred and twenty five acres more or less to
do as she thinks best with it to support her while she lives and at her
death the said land to be equally divided among all our children. I also
will and bequeath to my wife Jane my oxin and wagon and all my cattle
(illegible) sheep hogs and all my household and kitchen furniture of every
kind and all the mill irons and anything belonging to the mill I bought
from J. Jones. In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal this 3rd
day of Jan. 1852."

No heirs are named in the estate settlement for Jane, 1856. Only bond,
inventory and settlement are included. Jacob Cagle (propably son) was
named special administrator.
I do not have a copy but it is abstracted in the book, "Abstract Henderson
Co. NC Estate Records 1838-1900" by Kathleen Summers, 2002.
Buried in Henderson Co., NC. Will probated in Henderson Co., NC.
According to census records it appears that John was moving around;
however, that portion of old Rutherford Co., NC which became Buncombe Co
in 1791, later became Henderson Co in 1938. So, though it appeared that
John was moving around, it was actually the county lines being changed
which created that appearance.
