My great great grandfather was John H Cagle, the same one you mention in your posting. My
grandfather said his great aunt's name was "Missouri", which I find in the
1880 census for John H and his family. Did she change her name to Marcena or was Missouri
a nickname? Also, I used to think Sarah Johnston was the first wife but the 1900 census
in Whitfield says they have been married twenty years and that she'd never born any
children. The number 42 is listed next to her husband and then crossed out and replaced by
a twenty. If he remarried at 42, that would make sense with their current age and the info
about being married twenty years. I have some other ideas if you are interested. Lois
