| 6103 | Reseach courstesy of LuAnn Eisinger - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~elsinger/gilliland/p3.htm#i65 Robert Gilliland Jr. was the son of Robert Gilliland Sr. Robert Gilliland Jr. married Jean ?1 On May 20, 1786, Robert sold 120 acres on Golden Grove Creek to William Armstrong. This was the tract of land that was originally granted to Robert, Sr. on May 26, 1784 but "delivered to his son." A Jean Gilliland also signed the deed. I'm assuming that Jean was Robert's wife. William Brasher was a witness.1 It appears that Robert moved to Kentucky in the latter part of the 1700's. On September 12, 1798, a land warrant was issued to Lewis Phillips for 150 acres of land on Drakes Creek in Warren County, Kentucky. On May 20, 1799, Lewis assigned this land to Robert Gilliland.2 It was then surveyed for Robert on July 13, 1799.3 On November 14, 1803, a patent was issued to Robert for the 150 acres. On March 18, 1805, Robert sold the 150 acres of land that were surveyed to him in 1799 to Alexander Gilliland for $300. We know this was the same land by its description.4 This is most likely the Alexander Gilliland who on December 19, 1801 sold the 251 acres of land on the east side of Saluda River, Greenville District, South Carolina, to Nathan Waddle, for 100 pounds.5 On July 19, 1802, Robert received a warrant for 250 acres of land. The warrant reads that the land was near Alexander Gilliland's 150 acre survey, assignee of Lewis Phillips.6 Robert signed over the right and title of this land to Alexander Gilliland in April (year not readable).6 Alexander had the land surveyed in January 1807 and patented on June 19, 1809. The early Federal census records for Kentucky were destroyed, but published tax lists have served as replacements. Robert Gilliland is found on Drakes Creek in Warren County for the years 1801, 1802, 1803, and 1804.7 In the book Warren Co, KY Order Book; Vol 2, June 15, 1801 thru January 1, 1805 are found the following entries: page 318 - July 15, 1802, ordered that Robert Gilliland be exempt from paying county levy in future. (This was generally done when people were old and unable to work.) page 328 - July 15, 1802, Robert Gilliland, 250 acres beg. corner of Alexander Gilliland's 150 acres, assignee of Lewis Phillips running S 30 E then so far round the said survey for quantity. page 434 - July 4, 1803, ordered that Robert Gilliland be fined $2.00 for contempt of this court. page 453 - October 3, 1803, Robert Gilliland's line adjoins James Butler's 200 acres. page 553 - July 2, 1804, Robert Gileland entitled to 50 acres as per entry filed.8 I could find no Gillilands at all in the 1810 Federal Census for Warren County, Kentucky. 1.

| 6105 | Research by Judith Nan Lewis on Find a Grave Memorial 78481577 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. 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, 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. It is believed that some of Robert's brothers made the trip with him, as there were reportedly fourteen people aboard the flat bottom boat that landed at Fort Deposit. 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.

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. | Lewis, Robert Sr. (4487840)

| 6107 | Research by Judith Nan Lewis on Find a Grave Memorial 85777687 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).

(5) Henry Pinkney Cagle (1793 NC - Nov 1843 TN) (6) John David Cagle (09 Apr 1800 NC - 03 Feb 1863 TN), he married Mary Carter. (7) William Cagle (03 Feb 1803 NC - 07 July 1876 Oregon), he married first to Milley Dees; he married second to Hannah Garner. Jacob Cagle, Sr. (01 Apr 1755 NC - 14 Aug 1845 TN) married second to Sarah "Sally" (MNU) in 1821 in Warren County, Tennessee...this is if the widows pension app. that a Sarah Cagle, wife of a Jacob Cagle, is for the Jacob Cagle, Sr. that this memorial was created for. They did not have any children by their marriage. Jacob Cagle, Sr. (01 Apr 1755 NC - 14 Aug 1845 TN) married third to Lucy Derrah on May 01, 1826 in Davidson County, Tennessee. [NOTE: SEE COPY OF THIS MARRIAGE RECORD IN PHOTO SECTION]. They did not have any children by their marriage. Tennessee, County Marriages, 1790-1950 Name: Jacob Cagle Marriage Date: 01 May 1826 Marriage Place: Davidson, Tennessee, United States Gender: Male Marital Status: Married Spouse's Name: Lucy Derrah Spouse's Gender: Female GS Film Number: 001994218 Digital Folder Number: 007623884 ************************************************************ 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). U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1905 Name: Lucy Darrow Gender: Female Birthplace: TN Birth Year: 1803 Spouse Name: Jacob Cagle Spouse Birth Place: NC Spouse Birth Year: 1770 Marriage Year: 1826 Marriage Place: MO Number of Pages: 1 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. | Cagle, Jacob Sr. (10265780)

We bought that house and lot at Annapolis in 1940, I think. The lot was 50 feet by 150 ft. Avery was carrying the mail at that time. And he didn't make very such money as he had to bid it down so low to get the mail route. We paid $350.00 for the house and lot and paid a little over $17.00 a month until we got it paid for (seemed like a life time). We lived there about 10 years then we moved to the Vulcan tower, then we moved to Sullivan. We have been living in Sullivan 37 years. We moved here in July after Paul died in April 1955. We sold the house and lot for $2000.00 cash and thought we were rich. Do you like stories like this? Jim does.

Three of the sons retired from the military service. Until recently when the last son retired, there had been at least one of them in the service of his country continuously since 1940, before the second World War. Forty years of service to their countryis something the whole family has been extremely proud of, and of course, Henry and Macy are very proud that they had such a patriotic family. Henry and Macy enjoy living at the Senior Citizens Housing Apartments and seem to have taken a new lease on life. Henry is 90 years young and Macy is 84.

Mr. Lewis has lived most of his life in Iron County and was born and reared near Annapolis. He spent most of his life around there in timber work and faring. His wife died many years ago and it was his job to rear his family of six children, which he did conscientiously and diligently. It may be said to his credit that his children have all attended high school and some of them gone on to college. They have grown to manhood and womanhood and are a credit to his and his teachings. One boy was killed in World War II. Mr. Lewis is widely known and respected as a hardworking, soft spoken, honest man. He expects to carry his campaign to all parts of the county and wants to make many new friends in doing so. He says he is no fast talker but wants to meet everyone and present his case to the voters. He is a man of good judgement and feels that he will be capable in the office of assessor if elected. He feels that it will be his duty to see every property owner and assess his property with his and do it fairly and justly. He will appreciate the support and influence of the voters in the August primary election.

| 6128 | Research courtesy Notha Stevens: Cocke County, Tennessee Early Settlers of the Old 12th District http://www.tngenweb.org/cocke/earlysettlers.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following is a list of early settlers who lived on the waters of Cosby and Groundhog Creeks, creeks that are mostly in what was the old 12th district of Cocke County. This list comes from land entries on Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA) microfilm #36. The label on the copy of the film I have says the land entries are on the second item on the film; they are on the third item. It also gives dates of April 1874 to June 1898. These may be the years that the original book was copied or families brought the originals to be re-recorded. The actual dates of the land entries are 1824 to about 1831, making them some of the earliest surviving records of Cocke County. The original land entries were surveys and included drawings as well as descriptions. The drawings were not copied into the new book. The verbal descriptions often included reference to neighbors. And there were always two names at the left bottom of the description. I believe these were witnesses or attestors. I think they were also neighbors. I have abstracted the page numbers, landowner's names, dates they made the entries, any reference to neighbors, and the attestors names. Most of the landowners lived on the waters of Cosby Creek; I specifically mention those that lived on Groundhog Creek. *Submitted by: Bruce Price ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Name* *Page #* *Entry Date* *Comments* Isaac Burlison 37 04/08/1824 Holloway Giles, Green's line Holloway Giles Wm.

Mr. Sutton is not new in political circles, having been a successful candidate for the nomination a few years ago for the office of county treasurer and going on to win the general election afterwards. He conducted the office in a very efficient and praiseworthy manner, winning many friends over the county during his stay in office. He did not choose to run for re-election, entering the merchantile business in Annapolis where he remains at the present time. Mr. Sutton is a devout Christian man, a strong civic worker, active in every worthwhile project, a man of high standing in his community. He served for many years on the Annapolis school board and, we believe, was elected again this year to serve after several years of voluntary relief. He was engaged in the operation of a general store for many years previous to his comng to Ironton for his about three years in his political office. He has been a life-long Deiocrat and a painstaking and loyal party worker. His many friends over the county will be glad to hear of his entering the race for the responsible office he now seeks. He will appreciate the support and influence of the voters in all sections of the county and will take as extensive a campaign as possible, consistent with his duties in which he is now engaged.
