Robert Lewis, Sr. is the son of John Lewis (1740 Halifax, Halifax, VA- 1830 Spotsylvania, Spotsylvania, VA) and Elizabeth (Lax) Lewis (Born 1745 Halifax, Halifax, VA)


Robert Lewis, Sr. married Sarah Cagle before 1810 in North Carolina.

Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis are listed in the 1810 census of Buncombe, North Carolina. They moved from Buncombe, North Carolina to Marion County, Tennessee by 1820, and are listed in the 1820 census of Warren Co., TN. They then moved to Marion County, Tennessee by 1830 and are listed in the 1830 census of Marion County TN.

Sometime in the mid to late 1830's, Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis, traveled from Marion County, TN down the Tennessee River on a flat bottom boat and docked at Fort Deposit, Alabama.

From Fort Deposit, Alabama, Robert Lewis, Sr. and his wife, Sarah Cagle Lewis, and their children made their way to a near by mountain and settled at the bottom of that mountain. They built their home, cultivated the land and raised their younger children there. Over a period of time, the family members of Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis accumlated and owned 3,000 acres of land, which made up the area of the mountain, upon which they had settled on. The Mountain was later named "Lewis Mountain" after Robert Lewis, Sr.

Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis had eight children together by their marriage:

(1.) John Lewis (1816 NC - Aft. 1880 TN), he married Elizabeth Wilcoxen.

(2.) Leonard L. Lewis (1818 NC-1897 Marshall Co.,AL)
Married 1st: Dec. 27, 1839; Marshall Co., AL
Spouse 1: Mary Adeline Thompson (they had one child)

Married 2nd: Feb. 10, 1842; Marshall Co., AL
Spouse 2: Diannah Patterson (They had six children)

Married 3rd: Apr. 01, 1877; Coryell Co., TX

(3.) Henry Lewis (1820 TN -Aft. 1880 AL), he married 1st to Margaret Patterson on Aug 25, 1839 in Marshall Co., AL.; he married 2nd to Margaret Martha C. Key.

(4.) Charles L. Lewis (1823 TN - Oct. 28, 1888 TN), he married Julia Ann Henson.

(5.) Jacob Nathan Lewis (1826 TN - Aft. 1880 AL), he married 1st to Mary Whittenburg/he married 2nd to Elizabeth Emaline Hatfield.

(6.) Robert Lewis, Jr. (Nov 26, 1828 TN - 1868 AL), he married Mary Polly Whittenburg.

(7.) Margaret Lewis (born: 1832 TN - 1871 AL), she never married.

(8.) Katherine Lewis (1834 TN - 1914 TX), she married
Jacob "Jake" Whitenberg

Note: A careful study of all the census of Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis is suggested before adding any more children for them. On the early census where marks were made for other members in the household of Robert Lewis, there were no other marks for children other than those named above. While there were errors on some of their census (marks in wrong sex or age lines, the above children are the only children born to Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis, and they do fit in, while no other children will fit in and follow in a logical order through out all of their census.

Sarah (Cagle) Lewis was born in 1790 in Moore County, North Carolina and she died abt. Dec. 1850 in Marshall County, Alabama. She is the daughter of Jacob Cagle, Sr. (Apr. 01, 1755 NC - Aug. 14, 1845 TN) and his first wife, Sarah (MNU) Cagle (1755 NC - 1820 Buncombe Co. ,NC).

Sarah (Cagle)Lewis and Robert Lewis, Sr. were married before 1810 in North Carolina.

Sometime in the mid to late 1830's, Robert Lewis, Sr. and Sarah Cagle Lewis, loaded all their possessions on to a flat bottom boat in Marion County, TN and traveled down the Tennessee River and landed at Fort Deposit, Alabama.

Jacob Cagle, Sr. is the son of Johan Theobald Dewalt "David" Kegel/Cagle and Katherine (Cockman) Kegel/Cagle. (Note: this is not Jacob Elias Cagle nor Jacob Cagle (1770 NC - 1838 MO), who married Catherine (MNU) and Lucy Darrough/Darrow). [See added information]


Jacob Cagle, Sr. was married first to Sarah (MNU) Cagle (1755 NC - 1820 Buncombe County, NC). They were married abt. 1772 in North Carolina.

Jacob Cagle, Sr. and Sarah (MNU) Cagle had seven children together by their marriage:

(1) Jacob Cagle, Jr. (1773 NC - 1852 TN), he married Mary Bird.

(2) Charles Cagle (11 Feb 1780 NC - 04 Nov 1843), he married Susannah C. Cagle.

(3) Elizabeth Cagle (Born 1788 in North Carolina).

(4) Sarah Cagle (1790 Moore Co., NC

- Dec 1850 Marshall Co., AL), she married Robert Lewis.

************************************************************

There has been so much confusion on the wives' names, surnames, the marriages and the marriage order of the wives of Jacob Cagle, Sr. (01 Apr 1755 NC - 14 Aug 1845 TN) ( due to the fact of a number of other family members named Jacob Cagle having records which only show them as Jacob Cagle.

Some confuse Jacob Cagle, Sr. (1755-1845) with Jacob Elias Cagle (May 16, 1811 TN - May 22, 1881 TX), who was the son of Jacob Cagle (1770 Moore Co., NC - 26 June 1838 Missouri) and his 1st wife, Catherine (MNU) Cagle.

Some confuse Jacob Cagle, Sr. (1755-1845) with Jacob Cagle (1770 Moore Co., NC - 26 June 1838 MO), who married second to Lucy Darrough / Darrow in 1826 in Missouri. This Lucy Darrough/ Darrow is not the same person as Lucy Derrah who married Jacob Cagle (01 Apr. 1755 NC - 14 Aug 1845 TN), with marriage record proving date of marriage on May 01, 1826 in Davidson County, TN.

There are also conflicting records added to the over all research of Jacob Cagle, Sr. (01 Apr 1755 NC - 14 Aug 1845 TN).

Some say he was married twice, first to Lucy Darrough/Darrow and that she was the mother of his children, but this is wrong. Jacob Cagle, Sr. (1755-1845) did not marry a Lucy Darrough or Lucy Darrow, but rather, he married a Lucy Derrah, on May 01, 1826 in Davidson Co., TN, which was long after the birth of all his children.

Lucy Darrough/Darrow married Jacob Cagle (1770 NC - 26 June 1838 MO).

Some say he was married second to Sarah "Sally" (MNU) Cagle, of whom is suppose to be the Sarah Cagle, widow of Jacob Cagle, who attempts to draw a pension, (R. 1581), in records of Revolutionary War soldiers, but she is turned down. In these records, she states that she was married to Jacob Cagle in 1821 in Bucomb County, North Carolina. She further states that he died August 14, 1845 and that she has remained his widow since. She states that she is 76 and presently lives in Warren County, Tennessee, on March 9, 1853. According to her statement, she was born in 1777.

Did Jacob Cagle, Sr. (01 Apr 1755 - 14 Aug 1845 TN) divorce Sarah "Sally" (MNU) Cagle before 1826 and then marry Lucy Derrah???? and then did Lucy (Derrah) Cagle died and he remarried Sarah "Sally" (MNU) Cagle, or did he divorce Lucy (Derrah) Cagle and remarry Sarah "Sally" (MNU) Cagle????


About Sarah "Sally" (MNU) Cagle: statements in (R. 1581): she was 76 years old and residing in Warren County, TN on March 09, 1853:

The only Sarah or Sally Cagle listed in the 1850 Warren Co., TN, Census is living in the household of Mary "Polly" (Rogers) Woodlee, her daughter from her 1st marriage to Levi Rogers.

1850 Census; Warren Co., TN:

Mary Woodlee-52-widow (widow of Jacob Woodlee, Sr.)
Harrison Woodlee-28
Enoch Woodlee-23
Elijah Woodlee-16
Geer Woodlee-19
Carroll Woodlee-11
Sally Cagle-73

[Note: Mary "Polly" (Rogers) Woodlee (29 March 1798 NC - 16 Apr 1878 TN) married Jacob Woodlee, Sr. (9 Nov 1789 VA - 15 Feb 1850 TN). They were married on June 27, 1816 in Warren Co., TN].

Will Book, page 357, shows Harrison Woodlee as executor of Sally Cagle and her property valued between $400. & $500.00. - Warren Co., TN - Will Book: 3; page: 359: June 30, 1857: ...settlement made with Harrison Woodlee, executor of Sally Cagle, dec'd. Property worth $400.-$500.00 will be paid over as the will directed to Polly Woodlee, the only legatee mentioned in said will.

Some say this Sarah "Sally" (MNU) Cagle was the wife of Jacob Cagle, son of John Dutchman Kegel/ Cagle, but that Jacob Cagle married Elizabeth Gilmore; and some say she was the wife of Jacob Cagle, Sr. (01 Apr 1755 NC - 14 Aug 1845 TN).

The earliest research reports on Jacob Cagle, Sr., who is now shown as Jacob Cagle, Sr. (01 Apr 1855 NC - 14 Aug 1845 TN) calculated that he was married twice and both women were known as Sarah, the second as Sarah "Sally", and that the maiden names of both were unknown. The first Sarah was the mother of his children.

Much later, the name Sarah Lucy unknown was added as his first wife, due to a reference to a Lucy Cagle wife of Jacob Cagle, that was found somewhere, (I do not know where it was discovered), possibly on a land deed, war record, or other record where a Lucy Cagle was the wife of a Jacob Cagle. But, this could have been one of the other Jacob Cagles.

As more documents became available to the public.... this Sarah Lucy (MNU) Cagle began to appear on some research papers as Lucy Darrough or Darrow, and was possibly based on the marriage record of Jacob Cagle (1770 Moore Co., NC - 26 June 1838 MO) to Lucy Darrough/Darrow.... and was at that time, by some researchers, believed to be the Lucy Cagle associated with Jacob Cagle, Sr. (01 Apr 1755 NC - 14 Aug 1845 TN).

I have seen many research papers used as sources on this Lucy, but no document sources to support evidence that Lucy Cagle, who was suppose to be a wife of Jacob Cagle, Sr. (01 Apr 1755 NC - 14 Aug 1845 TN), is in fact Lucy (Darrough) Cagle or Lucy (Darrow) Cagle.. or a marriage document proving a marriage for them in the 1700's.
