Sandra,
I wasn't pointing out any errors, I was just trying to unconfuse my self.
We have so many Cagles with the same name it gets confusing very often. I
am still not clear on the linage of the Cagle family that is into chickens?

David,
I was saying that this was the family of George Washington Cagle, but I
listed the wrong one - I had him as Charles Cagle's son from Tennessee and
that one is David Cagle's line isn't it? BUT that's not the right George
W.Cagle - I don't think he ended up in GA . 1900 Census clearly shows
that George L's grandfather was born in GA. Should have looked at that
before I wrote. Don't know how I missed it the first time. Sorry for the
error but now I think I've gained a chicken company in my family. I think
this is Jacob Cagle's son, George Washington Cagle. Lee/Earl, is that the
right one? One question though, You show George L as dying in 1982 but
the Cagle website says 1978. Which is right? Sure am glad this isn't
another Littleton Cagle family. I've looked for that 2nd one all evening.
Thanks for pointing that out for me David. Back to the ball games.
