I have been having trouble getting out. I have made 3 post to the list and I hope I have found why. Below you will find apost I received from another list. Since many lines that I work came into America through Philadelphia, including our Cagle's, I found the article interesting and I hope you do. Gary Did any of our Cagle's take an oath? :My 5th great grandfather Johann Conrad HESSER took the oath of :Allegiance in Philadelphia on 20 Oct 1752..Is this what your looking for? : :"We, subscribers, natives and late inhabitants of the Palantinate upon the :Rhine and place adjacent, having transported ourselves and families into the :Province of Pennsylvania, a Colony subject to the crown of Great Britain in :hopes and expectations of finding a retreat and peaceable settlement therein :do solemony promise and engage that we will be faithful and bear true :allegiance to His Majesty, King George the Second, his seccessors, kings of :Great Britian and will be faithful to the Proprietor of the Province and :that we will demean ourselves peaceable to all His majesty's subjects and :strickly observe and conform to the laws of England and this Province to the :utmost of our power and best of our understanding." :signed by his mark, Johann Conrad Hesser. :
