The corn was on the cob, 22 bushels. Even at today's prices, wouldn't be too much. It is the interest over one hundred and thirty nine years that would eat you up--compounded of course. James D. Martin took two guns from John Cagle for the Confederacy in 1862. All I got was a receipt out of that also. Cured Pork was worth 10 cents a pound during that period. John Cagle paid the medical bill for the whole family for the years 1864-1867 with 556 pounds of cured pork. He owed Dr. J. H. Logan of Saltillo $56 for his services for that period. I guess the only reason he still had those hogs is that they were turned loose in the creek bottom and no one could catch them? Jim Bingham of Saltillo who teaches at Western KY Univ. should have some information on your family? Suspect he might be at that reunion?
