Message Board Post:
I was wondering if anyone might have any information on Eliza Cagle, daughter of Charlie
B. and Harriet Cagle. I believe she married John Kenady (Canady or Kennedy).
Her daughter Mary F. may be my great-grandmother. I have found info on Charlie B, Harriet,
and Henry (Charlie's father). I need info that might definitely help tie Mary Francis
Kennedy(Canady) to the same Mary F. that is shown on census forms with Eliza and John in
Marion Co AL in 1870 and Louisa Kenidy in Marion Co AL 1880 census. It appears that this
Eliza and Louisa are the same lady because of the name Marilda Cagle (neighbor) in 1870
and Rilda Cagle living in same household in 1880, with William Cagle next door and
Harriet Cagle with new husband David Clark next door to William. I have the 1850 and 1860
census forms for Charlie and Harriet and they both show Marilda and Eliza as daughters.
My great-grandmother is Mary Francis Kennedy Gray, she
married John Green Gray in 1889 Lake Co TN. I found
records of their marriage and it shows her last name as Cannad(a)y. On records that I have
gathered from family, it shows she was born in Marion Co AL. I have conflicting birth
dates, some sources show 1862 and others show 1866.
This has been a hard family to trace, especially with the different birth dates and the
different spellings of the Kennedy or Canady last name. I found the records of the Cagle
cemetary in Marion Co and it shows the following names: Cagle, Canada, and Kennedy.
I don't know if Marilda ever married, as well as the other sisters (Margaret, Sarah,
or Adaline). If so, I don't know their married names. I don't know what took Mary
Francis from Marion Co, Alabama to Lake Co Tennessee. Her obituary states that she has a
brother John.
Do you have any info on Charlie B and Harriet's children (who they married, where they
settled, and their descendants)??
Thank you in advance for your help,
Neta Wheeler
