Ashley, Don't assume to much in names. My former wife was named Biddie and that his her birth certificate name. She was named for her grand mother whose name was spelled the same way. I feel like it was probably a name spelled either way that has lost favor with those that impose whatever we come to be called, like me just another four letter word.

Cagle was born 26 Jan 1885 in knoxville or Lenior City, TN. Her father was William Martin Cagle born 27 Nov 1844 in Sevier County, TN. I have been looking at this for years. So, you name is Biddy, well I was born back then but It sounds like a Nickname. Surly it is. So what could a Name like Biddy be short for? Betty, Bettie, ECT!! > Ok, what could the O. in here name be. I know Olean Cagle in Marysville but I dont think it stand for that. Now this is not something Im dying to help someone with but just more curious about. Kim, Mary, Lee, David , Earl, Nancy Jane, Lamona, Olean and others..............I would like to hear from you on the name Biddy!! I dont call this a great msytery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
