- Research notes for parents or family of William Columbus Cagle:
November 2006 search found no census records with William Cagle born about 1888 in Mississippi.
William would have been living in or around Iuka, Mississippi at the time he married Artie Glasgow and just prior to the birth of their first son Oliver Cagle who was born in Iuka. Research in the 1910 Tishomingo County, Mississippi census brought up only a few families with the name of Cagle.
1900 Coahoma County, Mississippi does have a William Cagle born in August of 1887 in Mississippi. He is living with his Father Hodge born in August of 1852 in Alabama and his mother Matta born in January of 1869 in Alabama. There are 4 other children living with them who were all born in Mississippi: A daughter Cora L. born in March of 1889, George born in October of 1891, Mattie born in September of 1894 and Rachel born in November of 1899. There is also a James Cagle living with them who was born in March of 1875 in Tennessee. His relationship with the head of the household, Hodge, can not be read, however this James is living in Iuke Mississippi on the 1920 Census.
1910 Iuka Township, Tishomingo County, Mississippi
There were only 4 people with the last name of Cagle.
Charlie Cagle who was born about 1873 was born in Mississippi and his father and mother were born in Alabama. He has a wife Belle who was born about 1868 and they have no children.
Jim Cagle who was born about 1878 was born in Mississippi and his father and mother were born in Alabama. He has a wife Della who was born about 1890 and they have no children.
Charlie and Jim are listed on the census next to each other and could be brothers. They are also the right age to be younger brothers of William. Families or groups of brothers often settled in a new area together.
1910 Liberty Township, Tishomingo County, Mississippi (census page 13) Same township as Artie Glasgow and her family.
George W Cagle born about 1862 in Mississippi. His father was born in the United States and his mother was born in Alabama. His wife Laucia?, who's name is unclear on the census, was born about 1856 in Mississippi. Her father was born in Alabama and her mother was born in North Carolina. They have one child living with them Olivia? N., this name is also difficult to read, who was born about 1893 in Mississippi.
1910 Mills Township, Tishomingo County, Mississippi
John James Cagle born about 1866 in Alabama and his wife Prudence born about 1870 in Alabama. They have 8 children living with them ranging in age from 20 to 1 year and 4 months. The census does indicate Prudence gave birth to 10 children and 9 are still living. This would mean their oldest child who would have been born about 1888, the same time as William Columbus Cagle, has already left home. 1900 Census indicates this oldest child was a daughter, Irene.
1910 Providence Township, Tishomingo County, Mississippi
There are two young families with parents about the same age as William Cagle. Although they could be brothers, they are to young to be his parents. John T Cagle family and Chas E Cagle family.
1910 Bay Springs Township, Tishomingo County, Mississippi
Lord Cagle born in Alabama about 1865 and his wife Martha born in Mississippi in about 1871 and 6 of their children ranging in age from 6 to 19 years old. Although they are the right age, they could not be William Cagle's parents because they have 6 children and all 6 children are living with them.
Although there are 194 people by the name of Cagle living in Mississippi, the above Cagles are the only ones living in a county near the Glasgow family.
Unfortunately, Tishomingo County is the most North East county of Mississippi and borders Tennessee and Alabama.
William C. Cagle would have been in the Tishomingo County, Mississippi area around 1920. Wilma Lois (Cagle) Harrison recalls her Granny, Artie Leona Glasgow saying that William came back once before she and the children moved to Oklahoma and he tried to steal her cow which was one of her only means for providing for herself and the children.
