D 31 Dec 1864 Camp Chase CSA Cemetery, near Columbus, Oh I have been doing some research trying to determine if this W.C. Cagle with the 51st Tennessee Co. D is the same as William Cagle I have with the 51st Tennessee Co. A. My suspicion is that they are one and the same but I'm not sure. Does anyone know if they are the same person or not? I'd like to add the additional information if it is the same person. If not or if there is no way to tell for sure I'll add another name to the Civil War List. Also, in your research, if you do find that two or more individuals listed on the Civil War list are the same, please let me know. The way Civil War records were kept the names often came from muster rolls and the a clerk taking the roll might make name changes from one time to the next. Thanks! Tom Cagle Saegertown, PA ________________________ Tom & List, Due to the number of William Cagle's, this needs to be looked at closer. This W.C. Cagle, could be the William Cagle, who you speak of. The only way to know for sure is to get a copy of his service record. On my Stagner family, there was my g,g,grandfather who served in two different units. John Cagle of the Cagle Newsletter, writes about David Crocket Cagle b.5-11-1835. David, first enlisted in 1862 Co. A, 13th. Battalion Alabama Partisan Rangers (CSA). His Company Muster Roll of 10-31-1862 shows that he enlisted as D.C.Cagle on Sept. 6, 1862 in Jasper Al; for a period of 3 yrs. or the duration of the war. He was shown AWOL, since the last day of Sept. Having never returned to this company he enlisted in the Union Army on Sept. 25, 1863 for one year. He was dicharged on Sept. 28, 1864 at Rome, Ga. He then re-enlisted on 12-21-1864 at Stevenson, Al. He served in this unit until the end of the war. For what ever reason he went from a CSA unit, to a Union Army unit. So in effect some of these men served in two or more units and like David, may have switched sides. Mabey someone on our list has W.C. Cagle, who died at a Union prison on 12-31-1864. They may be able to tell us more of this brave soul. Tom, keep up the great work on the Civil War site. For my part I will keep doing what I can with the Cagle Mail List. For sure, our Cagle ancestors are looking down on us for all our work. Earl D.Cagle Sr. Bowling Green, Mo.
