Hi Everyone, My search fo early PA Cagle's continues and today I have a couple of things to share. First, many months ago I sent for a will from Northampton Co, PA dated 1789 for one Henry Kegel. The will was settled in May, 1794. After many months of waiting I received it in February. Well it is all in old German and to make a long story short no one locally could interpret it so I sent it to a man in Germany who works with my wifes company. He could not make out the old German nor could his grandmother. He plans to take it to a University where someone may understand the old language. If anyone would like to take a shot at it, please let me know and I'll send you a copy. I would like to find out who this Henry Kegel is. Little did he know that someday someone would send his will back to his home country. Second, Lucille Freeman recently sent me copies of what I believe are tax lists from Berks Co. PA beginning in 1779. Remember that Berks Co is where Leonhart had land. They are for Cumru Twp. and have the following information: 1779 --Samuel Kagel, a Shoemaker, 200 acres, 2 horses, 3 mares --Leonard Kagel, 1 Cattle 1782 --John Kagel, laborer --Samuel Kagel Sr., 74 acres with building, 76 acres (I think it reads) with land, 2 horses, 2 cows --Samuel Kachel, 10 acres with building, 1 cow --John Kachel, 50? acres with building, 100 acres land, 2 horses, 2 cows 1803 --John Kachel ? maybe Jr. --Samuel Kachel Sr. --Sam Kachel, Jr. --John Kachel --George Kachel --Andrew Kachel 1805 --John Kachel, 1 mare?, house, 50 acres land, 100 acres land, 4 horses, 4 cows --Samuel Kachel, 1 log house, 10 acres of land, 1 cow --George Kachel, 1 cow After looking this over I went to the PA digital search and found a marriage record in the 1880's for the Kachel name. I then looked at the current white page listings and found several listings for Kachel living in Berks Co. today. My question is does anybody know who these people are or how they fit in? My suspicion is they are Cagle relatives who either stayed behind in Berks Co or returned. I plan to contact some of the Kachels in Berks Co to see if they may have any information. If anyone has any information please let me know. Thanks! Tom Cagle Saegertown, PA
