I think we've corresponded before but here's the information that I have. Josiah
Cosby, aka: (given name) Isaiah Corsbie, son of James Corsbie aka: James Cosby m. Margaret
McBride; son of Hance Corsbie aka: Hans Corsbie m. Ann McDill. They came over from
Ireland to NC. Josiah was first gen American.
Josiah Cosby on 1850 Marshall County census was living with his sister, Ann Cosby who
never married. Apparently Josiah's wife had died prior to 1850. Wash and Sam changed
their name to Causbie before joining the CSA. They are listed as Causbie and Causbia on
the records. Write me and I'll give you all the scoop. My husband is Johnny Causbie,
great grandson of Washington Jackson Causbie, brother of Samuel Monroe Causbie.
