Jimmy, I appologize for not responding sooner, however, I have had a little health problem the last couple of days and am just now getting around to answering email. I agree with your previous posting. I might add, I have only been into genealogy a few months and lack the extensive knowledge of you who have been at this for many years. The only thing I could add would be, if possible, I know it would be time consuming but, if you could go over the postings and advise if your information is any different than that being posted. In those cases where there is a difference, state the difference and your source. >From what I have read on the list, John G. Cagle is our foremost researcher. If you have his journals you might quote them as your source. I am sure all would agree, he is probably the best source in those cases where definitive evidence is lacking. Thankyou for your response to my inquiry. Lee Cagle Moore, OK On Sun, 13 Jun 1999 17:03:21 EDT JBCagle@aol.com writes: >Hi, > Saw your query regarding the first three generations of Cagles.
