A portion of the tribe remained in Anatolia and split into smaller subgroups, while another branch migrated to Iran, where they additionally incorporated Lurs.

Historian Faruk Sümer suggests that Agacheri may be related to the Turkmens who previously initiated the Babai revolt as they inhabited the same region around Malatya.

When Tabriz temporarily came under Ottoman control in the first half of the 18th century, a tahrir defter (cadastral survey) attested a nearby village that was the namesake of the tribe of Agacheri.

[5] In the mid-19th century, Agacheri appeared in records as a wealthy tribe of 1000 tents (households) in Fars province incorporating the sub-tribes of Chaghatai and Kashtil.

Vladimir Minorsky classified them as part of the Kohgiluyeh Lurs but noted that it was composed of the Turkic tribes of Afshar, Chaghatai, Begdili, and Qarabaghi.

Other sources from around the turn of the 20th century, Iranian and French authors, Hasan Fasa'i and Gustave Demorgny, referred to them as an "amalgamation of Turkic, Tajik, and Lur elements."

Oberling links some of the constituent tribes to the Afshars of Khuzestan, who Shah Abbas the Great (r. 1587–1629) had scattered over the region following a rebellion in 1596–97.

It consisted of the following sub-tribes: Jama Bozorgi, Tileku, Chaghatai, Begdili, Afshar, Lor Zaban, She'ri, Aqbaghi, Bashiri, Daylami, Kashtil, and Davudi.

[3] Building on writer Ziya Gökalp's earlier claims,[6] historian Faruk Sümer identified these groups with the modern-day Tahtacı, who inhabit various regions of Turkey, such as Çukurova, Mersin, Antalya, Isparta, Burdur, Konya, Muğla, Denizli, and Aydın.
