The Gurley/Cagle Connection - A second-hand report (dating back to an unidentified Cagle researcher in 1931) has provided the following item, which seems to relate to the Cagles of Montgomery County:

They were Jessie, 1823-1906, married Elizabeth Lowery of Bulox Creek, York Co., SC; Polly married John Brisco; John, d. Hartselle, Alabama, Tillman, the oldest son, stayed in North Carolina.
Regarding the location of John Cagle and his nephews, the Gurley orphans, the writer has been unable to locate any records on them in early Morgan Co., Alabama, nor do they seem to appear in the 1830 Alabama census.
