It may well be that at least one more or perhaps even two more wives can be found in the new Missouri Marriage Index site. I had Henry P as being married to Catherine Stokes and of her being the mother of my g-grandmother Laura M. Cagle b c1778 in IL. My cousin Rhonda, a younger daughter of Laura's last living child, told me that her Mom was not sure if Laura's father was a Stokes or a Warner. She said it may be the other way around. In the new site we find H.P. Cagle m Catherine Warner 8 24 1865. This fits with the gap in the birth of his children as the 1870 census has a 7 year period of no births. The county of the marriage, Johnson Co., is the same location where Henry P's brother Isaac R. was found living in 1880. Moreover there are a couple of marriages for Isaac R. in the new index. Besides Catherine there is a marriage for H. P. Cagle to Mary J. Cagle on 4 2 1864. Did he perhaps remarry the first wife, Mary Priest, who was the mother of the son James. It seem there must have been at least three marriages, but could have even been a 4th. I feel comfortable assigning the last five children to Catherine Warner and the 4 children Joseph to John to an unknown wife. Regards Joseph "Jay" Childress --------------12E5ABE522549217116BB80A--
