I would like to coordinate with you on the Causey family of Maryland that
moved to SC. I am a descendant of William Causey who served in Revolutionary
War. He lived in both MD and Beaufort/Barnwell Co., SC. I believe him to be
related to your Absalom Causey. Could you give more details on the parents
of Absalom?
