I've seen a lot of posts on here regarding tests done by people with the
surname Causey & Cossey. My ancestor's name was Elizabeth Saussey of
Washington County, GA born about 1805 and we believe "Saussey" was a
phonetic version of Causey (we have ZERO DNA matches to anyone with the
surname Saussey in their tree.) The most likely candidate to be her sibling
is Alfred Cosey of Washington County, born circa 1796. He spelled his last
name Causey, Cosey, Cossey, Corssey and Coursey. I guess the guy couldn't
make up his mind!
There is a Coursey DNA project on FTDNA with no Causey's listed on the
patriarch's page. There is a Causey DNA project with ZERO participants and
the admin email is empty. So.... where are all the Causey's? Was Coursey a
variant? Elizabeth and her husband, James Avera Jr., ended up in Crawford
County. One of their daughters went to Alabama, another to Mississippi and a
third to Caddo, Arkansas for a short time. There are Causey and Coursey
families in all of those locations.
We match a descendant of James Coursey of Swainsboro, Emmanuel, GA who named
his son William. There was a William Coursey who was awarded a land grant in
Washington County, GA in 1797, but the courthouse in Sandersville burned
during the Civil War so there are no marriage or probate records. DNA is all
we've got folks... so where are all the Causey's at? This is a
crazy-confusing family!! Sounds like I fit right in. ;-)
