I started trying to put together my lineage a little while back and have some questions I would love for anyone to answer.....Please. First, has anyone ever heard about the Cagles that came west by wagon train? My direct lineage is (1) Leonard Leonhart Cagle; (2) David Cagle born abt 1710; (3) George Cagle born 1740 in Moore County, North Carolina, (4) John M Cagle, born 1780 in Montgomery County, Tenn.; (5)John Hanson Cagle, born 1834 in Carroll County, Tenn.; (6) John Franklin Cagle, born 1853 in Benton County, Tenn.; (7) Luman Arthur Cagle born 1880 in Clintonville,Cedar MO.; (8)Arthur John Cagle born 1908 in Davenport, Washington, (9) Myself: Charlotte Cagle Linehan born 1934 in Spokane , Washington; (10) My children and (11) my Grandchildren. It was John Franklin Cagle who was married to Flora Ann (McMillen) Cagle and their children: Laura Bell Cagle born 1876; Lura Dell Cagle born 1877; Luman Arthur Cagle born 1880; Walter J Cagle born 1886; Annie Jane Cagle Born 1888; who came westward in a covered wagon to Chelan Washington. Does anyone have any information about this trip. I heard as a child (and it may all be folklore) that there were several Cagle families that started out and they were attacked by Indians alone the way. The other families supposedly turned back and Franklin and his family kept going. I have no idea if this is true or not, but I would like to find out and any other information that someone might be able to add. My next question is: How many children did Leonard Leonhart Cagle and Susannah have? In looking through some of the information on internet, some say they had three boys, some say four boys, and others say up to eight childrens. Does anyone know the corect number with documentation? Third, has anyone every tried to go back to Germany and find out who Leonard Leonhart Kegel's parents were. Germany would have been under Prussia control at this time, I believe. I have been to Germany acouple of times and lives there for a year once, sure wish I had known about Leonhart then; oh well....... I appreicate any and all anwsers anyone has to these questions. Thank you. Charlotte Cagle Linehan Haydun@aol.com
