Below is some information on the Cagle & Thomas families. Earl ____________________________________________________________________________ _ In the Aug term 1852 of the Union County Court of Pleas and Quarters, Jacob Thomas registered a petition. Desiring to build a mill on the Rocky River, Jacob Thomas needed and sought the use of land belonging to Caleb Irwin. The mill dam would connect to this land that was situated in Stanly County. The petition requested that four freeholders be appointed to value an acre of land that belonged to Caleb Irwin. This petition was made final with the following written statement: "Prayer granted ---- - Deft made a party". Numerous small debts led to an order on 13 Jun 1856, in which a levy was placed on Jacob Thomas's 200 acres of land. In this order, the land was described as lying on the Rocky River, adjoining the lands of John R. Thomas, Jas. R. Baucom, and others. The land was to be sold in July 1856 in order to settle debts against George Cagle, Henry R. Prichard and others. Note this land was described as adjoining John R. Thomas land. In the census, Jacob Thomas lived beside John R. Thomas. ============================================================================ ===== B. Sarah Thomas b. 1835, married 10 Jan 1853 in Stanly Co.
