    Moved about 1853/1854:
    Moved to Richland Township about 1853 or 1854, I think, this should be
    about right because James J. was born in January 11, 1855 in Richland
    Township, Newton County, Arkansas. It has been passed down that Jeremiah
    "Jerry" Standridge came to Tennessee to get this family group and bring
    them back to Newton County, Arkansas because he was in love with Nancy
    Cagle. Jeremiah married Nancy, March 15,1856 in Pope County, Arkansas.
    In 1859 Henry Cagle bought 40.00 in Richland Twp. Newton County

    Henry Cagle served in the Civil War. Henry was inlisted as a Arkansas
    Confederate in Company B. 2nd Mounted Rifles, also known as the Mounted
    Dragoons, Henry Enlisted on July 15, 1861, and fought for the
    Condfederates until he was wounded on August 31,1864, He was in the
    Hospital at Barnesville, Georgia near Love Joy, Georgia. Henry's leg had
    to be amputated. Henry appears on the inspeciotn report, commaned by
    Brig. Gen. D.H. Reynolds, reported date September 18 1864. Henry was a
    2nd Lieutenant .
    Notes:
    The 2nd Regiment of Arkansas the Mounted Rifles was to provide the
    firepower of an Infanty Regiment with the mobility of a Cavalry unit.
    Rather than possessing the advantages of each group they attempted to
    combine, this multiplied the disadvantages. The 2nd mounted rifles
    served relatively for a briff period of time. They were transferred to
    the east bank of Mississippi River in the Spring of 1862, The regiment
    was dismounted. It was requested to have it remounted but they conrinued
    to serve as infantry for the rest of the war. Company B, 2nd Mounted
    Rifles, was made up of men from the area now known as Pottsville,
    Russellville, Atkins and as far east as Point Remove. The company was
    composed of 86 men and commanded by Benjamin T. Embry a successful farmer
    and merchant, who resided at what is now Arkins, Arkansas . The company
    originally organized as Cavaly and were required to furnish their own
    horses and accoutermants. They travelled approximately 150 miles to Osage
    Prairie outside of Bentonville, Arkansas where they were sworn into the
    Confederate Service. Benjamin T. Embry, the original company Commander
    was promoted to Lt. Col. of the Regiment and 1st Lt. Peter W. Parker
    became Captain. The Regiment was disignated 2nd Arkansas Mounted rifles
    and Command was given to James McQueen McIntosh a West Point Graduate
    from Kentucky. Company B. 2nd. Arkansas Mounted rifles had 86 men in its
    original roster. in 1865 at the surrender of the Army of Tennessee there
    were only 8 men remaing of the original 86. Out of the Refiment that was
    originally composed of 1,200 men, there was only 84 of the original
    roster . The 2nd Arkansas Mounted Rifles had fought from the Western
    reaches of the Confederacy to it eastern shores. They had fought in 9
    states and over 30 engagements. The 2nd Arkansas Mounted Rifles had
    become known as one of the finest and harest and most reliable fighting
    units in the Army of Tennessee.
    J. A. Henry, M.D. was one of the origianal members of Company B. 2nd
    Arkansas Mounted Rifles and there was only 8 survivors of the company at
    the end of the war. There was only 8 out of the Company who were present
    for parole at the end of the War. J. A. Henry was the Grandson of Silas
    A. Henry.
    Henry was 49 years old when he went in the Confederate, on the paper
    work it look's like it says 19 years old , One of the decendent said
    that Henry only had one leg. story on Henry coming home from the service
    said he was burning up with fever, Martha went to get water, and when she
    returned bushwackers had killed him and a young boy. Henry's daughters
    Nancy and Suzie, tryed to fight them off and save the boy, but was unable
    to.
    Do have a probate record for Henry Kegle, does not say very much, so
    there had to be records somewhere for young children of Henry and Martha
    in probate, he did live land children, they were James Jackson, Mary
    Elizabeth and Martha Caroline Cagle/Kagle.
