10 July 2024. Our Causey family lines are traceable along two main lines back to Dorchester County, Colonial Maryland. Generally speaking the Philip Causey-I (1702-1778) line can be tracked from Dorchester County, Colonial Maryland to the Causey families arriving in Craven, Pitt, and Edgecombe Counties of North Carolina between 1755 and 1770. The other Causey family line of Dorchester County descends from Thomas Causey-I (c1690-1776). These families began arriving in Guilford, Randolph, and Rowan Counties, North Carolina in the 1770s and ’80s. In this blog I attempt to make a documented connection between the Causey family of Edgecombe County, North Carolina and the Causey Families of Orangeburg and Beaufort Districts, South Carolina. Please feel free to comment.

You’ve done great work on possible Jamestown to Eastern Shore (Va, Md) Causeys up to 1800 or so. I am direct descendant of a man born c. 1815 in Kent County, MD. He was orphaned at a young age and never knew his parents. Our first documentation is 1828 Orphans Court indenture paper that identifies him as William Causey. Three generations of our family have done genealogy research without identifying his parentage. Would you have anything that might help?

PJ, If one on the male Causey boys would be willing to do the Big Y 700 Y-DNA test offered at FamilyTreeDNA.com you could probably determine which Causey line you descend from. My line had a mutation with the birth of Thomas Causey, Jr. 1719-1775. The Philip Causey line who wound up in Craven County, NC have Y-DNA Haplogroup T-FTE36788. Thomas Causey, Jr. is likely the one who had a mutation from T-FTE36788 to a totally new haplogroup T-FTE75400, (my Y-DNA). You can see the other Causey men who have tested by joining the CauseyDNA Project website at https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/causey
