Tom,
I also remember that Hebrew name we see as Rachel is pronunced "Rockul".
Make the "ch" in Kachel a hard sound and it is still close to being
pronounced Cagle.

Neda,
I have checked out the Kachel name and think there is probably some
connection, but I have never been able to figure it out. The Kachel name
is common in Berks Co., PA where Leonhart settled. I found Berks Co tax
records dating to the mid to late 1700s that show the evolution of the
name from Kegel to Kagle to Kachel all for the same group of people. So
it is very possible that is an alternate spelling of Cagle.
I have also been in touch with some Kachel researchers from Berks Co who
are intrigued by the possibility as well.
