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:
John Gurley married Mary Cagle in North Carolina. His orphan children came to Morgan Co., Alabama about 1825, with their uncle John Cagle. 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. However, looking into later Alabama records, it is noteworthy that the Gurleys seem to be living in Marshall Co. (adjoining Morgan Co.) at the time of the 1850 census; the family seems to consist of three teenagers, each of whom was living in a separate household, as though they were orphans;
