I have from a source that George Cagle Jr of Stanly County, born about 1812, married
Elizabeth Whitley, who was called Mary or Polly. I’ve recently seen several records that
have her marrying James Coley. The census records do show James Coley married to a Mary.
I’ve thought Elizabeth to actually be a Whitley, using circumstantial evidence. Her
daughter Elizabeth Cagle, who married John W. Honeycutt, is living next door to
Elizabeth/Mary/Polly’s brother Columbus Whitley in 1860. Of course, this could only be
circumstance. But experience tells me that is rarely the case in these matters. However, I
don’t know. Any help would be appreciated.
