    1. Cagle Marriage Certificate
    2. Joseph Childress
    3. Hi List I was able to obtain the Whitley Co. KY certificate of Marriage of James Fox and Laura Cagle. This couple are my great grandparents and found several bits of information that confirm what I have been gleaned previously from census records. The couple were married 30 Sept. 1894 with Laura being listed as age 16. This matches with the 1880 census records of her parents Henry P and Catherine Cagle, then in Alexander Co/ IL, which list Laura's age as 2. James Fox's parents were listed as being Joe and Eliza Fox of Whitley County. Of interest is the signed note from H P Cagle to the Whitley Co Court Clerk giving permission for the underage Laura to be married. I will write it out errors and all as follows: Whitley County Kan Sept 29 1894 to County Clerk I autherrse you to Isue marage lisins to James fox and lara cagle She is under age but I give my concint I am her father. H P Cagle(all hand written and signed). A bit over 5 years later Henry, age 72, was living in the household of James and Laura in the 1900 census of Whitley Co. Jay Childress
