    3. Carole, These are my assembled notes from various sources:From the 1770s to mid-1790s, Charles, the presumed father of Leonard Cagle, 1770s-1840s, was a neighbor of George Tucker Sr., in the Rocky River area of Cabarrus County, and it might be speculated that Leonard Cagle had married George Tucker's daughter in that county. Leonard does not seem to appear in the Federal Census of 1790, but in 1791 begins to appear in the land records of Lancaster Co., SC, located immediately south of the North Carolina line. Leonard appears in various county records in Lancaster between 1791 and 1825, after which he establishes residence in Henry Co., GA. However, during that period prior to 1825, Leonard also lived at various times in North Carolina, including Moore Co. He signed an indenture on 31 Dec 1806 acknowledging the sale of land to James Little in Cabarrus Co.(1800 Census), Montgomery Co (1810 census), and Anson Co (1820 Census). 1810 Census, Montgomery Co., NC Cagle, L. 2101-1101, page 48. This Leonard has been confused with two other Leonards, all born about the same time and all from North Carolina. To further complicate matters, this Leonard and Leonard/Miss Fulbright, both moved to Henry County, Georgia about the same time. This Leonard did not remain in Henry County, Georgia, he moved to Cobb County, Georgia and eventually to Tennessee. The third Leonard which is the most documented of the three, has a wife, Elizabeth and eventually settled in Jasper County, Missouri. This Leonard resided in Lancaster County, South Carolina which is just across the border from Anson Co., NC. Leonard sold 460 acres in 1817 in Lancaster County, South Carolina and it appears this is when he moved to Anson Co., NC where he was living at the time of the 1820 census. Lenard Cagle is listed on the muster roll of the Montgomery Co., NC Second Regiment War of 1812 along with 52 other locals. This is thought to be the last appearance of Leonard Cagle in Montgomery County records prior to his move to Anson County. 1820 Census, Anson Co., NC Cagle, Leonard 220001-01011, page 021. Note, the oldest daughter of George Tucker was married to Leonard Cagle, b. 1770, and that both were over age 45 in the census of 1820. 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 Cagle listed as the wife of Jacob Tucker in Charles 1803 Estate papers. By 1830 two Leonard Cagles from the state of North Carolina had settled in Henry Co., GA, a frontier county organized in 1821 from lands acquired from the Creek Indians. One of these was Leonard (1770-1840s) who had sold land in Anson County, NC in 1825 and the other was Leonard Cagle (1780-1850s) who had appeared in the 1810 Lincoln Co., NC census. 1830 census of Henry Co., GA, Pg. 229. Cagle Leonard 001110001-0100001 Jeptha 00001-00001 This census shows Leonard in the 50-60 age bracket, and his wife in the 40-50 bracket. They had three sons still living at home, two of whom were Eli Cagle, b. 1807 and Henry Cagle b. 1820. The only daughter in their household in the 5-10 age bracket born 1820-1825 era, may have been Tabitha Cagle. 1832 Land Lottery, Section 3, District 16, Lot #263 was drawn by Leonard Cagle of House's District, Henry County., GA. Leonard was the father of Jeptha Cagle, who also drew land in Section 3, but whose tract lay in District 7, a number of miles to the NE of Leonards's tract. Leonards tract of 160 acres was situated on Two Run Creek, in Cherokee County (would later become Cass County) and the survey contains the following Notation: "2nd O. & H. up land, Inhabited & Improved." This would indicate that the tract was comprised of 2d quality oak and hickory upland, and was already inhabited; however, it is unclear if the inhabitant was a Cherokee Indian or an early white settler. Leonard Cagle eventually gained his grant to this tract, but never occupied it, and later sold it in the year 1838. Leonard also, was successful in his second draw in the "Gold Region". The survey shows 40 acres in Lot 783, in District 15 of Section 2. Leonard made his draw while a resident of House's District, Henry County, GA. This Gold Lot of 40 acres was situated on Noonday Creek, which flowed through the SW corner of the Lot. Leonard, who in 1837, settled in Cobb Co., GA, never occupied this tract in Cherokee County. It is unclear if he ever gained title to the tract, but it seems likely that he did not, since no record exists in the Deed Index of Cherokee Co., of his having sold the tract to another party. Leonard, who is now a widow, is living with his son, Jeptha for the 1840 census of Cobb Co., GA. Living nearby are Tabitha Cagle with husband, Rubin Tucker Hill. 1840 Census of Cobb Co., GA, District 848, pg 274. Cagle Jeptha 110011001-01001 Hill, R. T. 00001-0001 Hill, Robert 00001-0001 Leonard married the daughter of George Tucker and it is thought Jacob Tucker who married Leonard's sister, Magdalene "Molly" is also, a son of George Tucker, thus we have a brother and sister marrying a brother and sister. This is the last census in which Leonard appears and he is thought to have died before 1850. Source: The Cagle Journal, Dec 1993 issue.

Who are the wife and children of the Leonard Cagle who was the son of Charles Cagle? This Charles Cagle was in the 1790 US Census for Mecklenburg Co., NC. He died in 1801 in Montgomery Co., NC.
