However, it does sho that Leonard sold a tract of land in the county on Jan 10, 1825, some three months after th disposal of his 7-acre tract in Lnacaster Co., SC. this deed of Jan. 1825 probably mards the time when Leonard sold his holdings in Anson County, NC in preparation for his move to the State of Georgia.

This deed was duly proved in open court by the oath of John Rushing and ordered to be registered. W. Dismukes, Clerk" Big Brown Creek, on which the above tract was situated, heads in Chesterfield Co., SC., and flows to the NE, Across the southeast corner of Union Co., NC, deed, this part of Union Co. (formed 1842) was still part of Anson County, . By the time of the 1830 census, Two Leonard Cagles from the state of North Carolina had settled in Henry Co., GA. a frontier county organized in 1821 from lands acquired form the Creek Indians. One of these was Leonard Cagle, 1770-1840s. who had sold land in Anson Co., NC in 1825, and the other was Leonard Cagle, c.1780-1850s who had appeared in the 1810 Lincoln Co., NC census. One of these Leonard Cagles, on his way to Henry co., briefly owned land in Franklin Co, Ga. in the NE corner of that state. The 1823 Tax List of Franklin County, shows that a Leonard Cagle owned 134 acres in the county during that year, situated on the Tugalo river. Leonard had bought this land from Chesley Cawthe, the origianl grantee. In Deeds of Franklin Co. Ga., 1784-1826, Mrs Martha Walters Acker indicates that Leonard sold this tract in 1824, as seen in the following abstract: Deed dated Franklin Co. 19 Aug. 1824, recorded 18 May 1825, from lenard Cagle to Wiley d. Morgan, both of aforesaid county. In consideration of $300, Lenard Cagle conveys 100 ac. grated to Chesly Cawthon, and 34 ac. adjoining the above and Edwards, on tugalo river, to wiley d. Morgan. signed "Leonord Cagle'> Wits.: Ben Starritt, Chesley Cawthorn, JP." (this was probably Leonard , c1780-1850, since the other Leonard was still in Anson co., NC in 1825. page 1 of August 1992 Leonard and John Cagle, of Lancaster Co., SC & Burke Co., NC 1790s-1820s The question remains regarding the movements of Leonard Cagle during the 20-year period from his purchase of 500 acres in lancaster co., SC in the late 1790s, to his sale of 460 acres in that same county, in 1817 (which deed notes that he was a resident of Anson co., NC by that time). The census record of 1850 and 1860, from the state of Georgia, give the birthplaces of four of his sons, as follow, which might five a clue as to his movements: Jephtha Cagle, born c. 1802, SC Eli Cagle, born c. 1805, NC William Cagle born c. 1814 SC Henry Cagle, born c. 1820 NC The birthdates of Leonad's sons might indicate that he moved gback and forth between NC and SC over the years , which is not surprising, since his tract of land in Lancaster co., SC was only a few miles south of the NC border. No census listing has been fount for Leonard Cagle in 1800 South Carolina , and it might be considered whether he was the Leonard Cagle appeared in the 1800 census of Moore Co. NC: 1800 Moore County, NC Cagle, Leonard 3001-1001 This listing would indicate that Leonard and wife were both between the ages of 26-45, and that they had three sons under age 10, and one daughter under the age of 10 This could be consistet with the age of Leonard Cale of Lancaster Co, who began to appear in the records of the county in 1791. It might be wondered if Leonard originated in Mecklenburg County, NC, moved to Lancater co., SC by 1791, then Moore County, NC, by 1800, and back to Sc by the time of the birth of his son Jephtha Cagle in 1802. Leonard Cagle, in addtion ot appearing the 1800 census of Moore county, received a grant of land in Moore County, during the late 1790s. this tract lay on upper Bear Creek in the NW corner of Moore co., adjoining the propeerty of Leonard Cagle Sr., who moved to Montgomery (present Stanly) Co.,NC during the late 1790s. The land entry of the younger Leonard was made on JUly 6, 1796, and his warrant of survey was dated March 2, 1799, and the grant was issued on Nov. 14, 1800. (some of the Original documents follow, beginning next page.) The warrant of survey, from 1799, indicates that the tract was located on both sides of Bear Creek Joining Leonard Cagle Senr. lines." this fact would bring up the question of whether the younger Leonard was the son of the older Leonard. the older Leonard, b. 1740s, had been a landowner in the Moore County, area since the late 1760s, and moved to Montgomery (present Stanly) Co. aboutn 1795 or 1796, after selling his Moore Co. property to Thomas Smutherman. This was propbably the same tract which adjoined the 1800 grant to the younger Leonard Cagel, since the warrant of the survey identifies the adjacent landowner as Leonard Cagle Senr., but the survey itself identifies him as Thomas Smutherman; this would suggest that Leonard Senr. had been the owner when the land grant process was initiated, but that the tract was trasferred to Thomas Smutherman before the process was completed. It is generally believed that Leonard Senr. did have a son named Leonard jr., but that he was still a minor during the 1790s, This Leonard Jr., it is believed, was the Leonard Cagle, 1780-1840s, who later married in Montgomery co. in the early 1800s, and moved to Warren Co., KY in the same decade, along with his brother Sampson Cagle, 1782-1874. If this is correct, it would indicate that the Leonard cagle with the 1800 land grant in Moore co., and who appeared in the 1800 moore co. cinsus was not the son of Leonard Senr, but was otherwise related. The following suggestion might be raised: Perhaps the younger Leonard of 1800 Moore wa th nephew of Leonard Senr. and the son of Leonard's older brother Charles Cagle Sr., c1730s-1801, who had moved from Moore County, NC to Mecklenburg Co., NC by the early 1770s. If this is correct, it might suggest that the younger Leonard could have moved from Lancaster co., SC to join his uncle in Moore county, NC in the late 1790s, remained there for a few yeard, and them moved back to SC. thus far , the editor has been unable to find any record among the deeds of Moore county, which would help indicate when the younger Leonard disposed of the land which he was granted in 1800 . List of the children of George Tucker Sr., a contemporay of Charles Cagle Sr. who like Charles owned land in both Meklenburg (present Cabarrus and Montgomery (present Stanly ) Co., NC (from Vol. VI, No. 1 , of the Stanly County, Genealogical society Journal.) Note that the oldes daughter of George Tucker was married to a Leonard Cagle , b. 1770, and that both were over age 45 in the census of 1820 (this would be Leonard Cgale, 1820 Anson) Also note that Jacob Tucker, 1774-1837, was married in 1797 to Magdalena b. 1780 (no last name given). It is possible that Magdalena was the Molly Cale listed as the wife of Jacob Tucker in Charles 1803 Estate paper SCGS JOURNAL VI, 1 George Tucker, Sr, Revolutionary War Patriot George Tucker, Sr. was born about 1740 in Virginia bur migrated to North Carolina prior to the Revolutionary War, as he is listed in "Roster of Tevolutionay Soldiers in North Carolina", page 344 - #2726 Salisbury District, as a Patriot, having signed the "Oath of Allegiance" and furnished supplies. He lived Mecklenburg County, NC in the part that is now Cabarrus County, ner the Reed Gold MIne, but he owned land on both the east and west sides of rocky river, the east side being what is not Stanly County. Most of Geroge's children lived in Cabarrus County. However, sons Leonard and Peter, along with sons-in -Law James Little and Leonard Cagel, lived in Montgomery, that part that is now Stanly. George Tucker may have been twice married, but there is no record of his first wife's name. A JOhn tucker who owned land adjoining the tucker heirs but was not mintioned in the disrtibution and settlement of George Tucker's Estate may have been a son by his first wife. His second wife , Maria Dorothea, is proven by her giving her consent as his wife to a conveyance dated April term 1795. George and Maria dorothea were married about 1764. George died before October 1804 as Jams Little and George Tucker Jr. were appointed administrators of his estate at that time. Maria Dorothea died before 12 September 1815, as the children seel her widow's dower land at that time. The Children of George Tucker, Sr. and his wife Maria Dorothea are listed: 1.George Tucker , Jr. born 10 March 1765 died 19 Aug. 1855 Married Mary Clara Cloory born 20 Jan. 1765 died 12 June 1845. both are buried at Kinza-Morgan Cemetery -the old Tucker burying ground. 2.
