Here is a review of a book when mentions the Causby family in Burke County,
NC as found in the "Bulletin of The Genealogical Socity of Old Tryon
County, NC" Vol XXV, Number 4, November, 1997. I have not seen this book
yet, so I do not know how prominently the Causby family is represented in
this book.

"The MIchaels Family of Burke County, North Carolina", by Elizabeth
Henderson Michaels, 114 Camellia Garden St., Morganton, NC 28655-8207.
Softbound, 290 pages, indexed (2500 names). Available from the author for
$20 ($18 plus $2 postage).
Thomas Michaels, born 1790 in North Carolina, probably a member of the
Rowan and Lincoln Michaels families, served in the War of 1812. During the
Civil War his wife Sally (in her seventies) achieved fame for the
manufacture of clay pipes. They had eight children and lost all three of
their sons in or due to that conflict. One daughter married Hampton Queen
and has hundreds of descendants. Three granddaughters married into the
Crawley family and a daughter and two granddaughters married Clays. Other
allied families include Anderson, Bartee, Bates, Boone, Burns, Causby,
Conner, Crawford, Epley, Hamby, Haynes, Hoke, Holder, Jones, McCurry,
Price, Reinhardt, Scott, Smith, Walker, Watson, Whisnant, Williams, and
Wingard. Part I of the book contains the genealogy of Thomas and Sally
Michaels; part II is a brief history of the Conner family, connected to the
Michaels line of the author's husband; and part III consists of copies of
photographs, documents, and articles. We applaud the dedication of
Elizabeth Michaels in preparing this her fifth family history.
