The Israel Causey homeplace in Austell, Cobb Co., Ga. is being designated a
historical site. The house & remaining land which has been in the Maxham
family
for quite some time now has been sold. The origingal house(built approx.
1834)
& several outbuildings have been saved on a small plot of land. It is my
understanding there will be a historical marker placed there. The remaining
land is being developed with houses ranging in the $300,000 price range
according to my information. Just thought this might be of interest to other
decendants of this family.Dec 7th Causey List
My records show Israel Causey was the 8th child of Ezekiel & Elizabeth
Causey.
Israel's 1st wife was Susannah Cowart (not Calvert) & his 2nd wife was
Margaret
Foyle. Diane dwrigh54(a)bellsouth.net
CENSUS: Israel and his first wife Susan Cowart and their daughter Celia
should have been in the 1820 Census, but I have been unable to find them. I
don¹t believe they were living with Ezekiel since there was no female under
age 10 enumerated there.
CENSUS: 1830 U. S. CENSUS (population) Georgia, Jefferson Co. is the first
census in which Israel is listed as head of household. Prior to that, he was
probably enumerated in the household of his father Ezekiel. 1830 shows:
2 males under 5
1 male 30 & under 40
1 female 10 & under 15
1 female 20 & under 30
CENSUS: In the 1840 U.S. Census for Cobb County, Georgia we find:
1 male under 5
2 males 5 & under 10
1 male 20 & under 30
1 female under 5
1 female 5 & under 10
1 female 20 & under 30
