1790 Census (Part 1)

Something I've been wanting to do for some time is to (re)analyze the 1790 Census and attempt to identify individuals found thereon.


The 1790 US Census has sixteen (16) Cagle heads of household in North Carolina, all of which are traditionally identified as descendants of Leonhardt Kegel. Of these heads of household, there are ten in Moore County, four in Mecklenburg County, and two in Montgomery County.


As follows are the heads of household and the number of MALES in the home (I have purposefully not included females):


*Henry Cagle 1730

                              Peter Cagle 1772

                              Henry Cagle 1770

                              John Cagle 1774

                              Jacob Cagle 1776

                              Martin Cagle1789

                              George Cagle1782

               *Christian Cagle 1761

                              -???

               *William Cagle 1754

                              Henry Cagle 1780

 

 

*Leonard Cagle 1729

                              William Cagle 1770

                              Charles Cagle 1779

                              Henry Cagle 1780

                              Robert Cagle 1783

                              John Cagle 1784

                              Paul Cagle 1785

                              Simon Cagle 1790

               *David Cagle

               *Roger Cagle

Conrad Cagle (Roger’s other sons, Roger Jr. and Leonard, are often seen with birthdates of “1780”. I think this to be incorrect and that Roger Sr’s only living son in 1790 was Conrad).

               *George Cagle

*John "Dutchman" Cagle 1726

                              Jacob Cagle 1766

                              Henry Cagle 1770

                              William Cagle 1788

               *George Cagle 1757

                              Isaac 1780

                              Jacob 1790

(Johan Theobald “David” Cagle) 1728 (deceased by 1790)

               *John Cagle 1740s

                              Leonard Cagle 1780

                              Sampson Cagle 1782

                              John Cagle 1767

                              Jacob Cagle 1773

                              Benjamin Franklin Cagle 1774

                              John M. Cagle 1780

                              Charles Robert Cagle 1786

               *Henry Cagle 1759

                              Henry Cagle 1780

                              George Cagle 1782

                              David Cagle 1783

A few quick notes before we move on...


First, a big shout-out to Leonard and Henry, who not only left wills naming their children, but whose families also work out perfectly when compared to the census. Thanks guys. You make a genealogist proud.


Second, I myself do not think the family attributions above are entirely correct. I plan to address my doubts in future blogs. However, researchers familiar with the first three generations should be able to get their bearings using the above.
