Hi Chris,
While I don't find this specific family, I can tell you that members of the Causey, Baggett, Powell, Bone, and Hubbard families intermarried in Montgomery Co. TN. There were two Causey families, brothers who moved to this area from Guilford Co. NC.They were Robert and Thomas. I know very little of what happened to Robert, but the two of them did own land jointly as early as 1816.....
Indenture: deed dated Dec. 23, 1816, Montgomery Co. TN, Deed under the names of Thomas and Robert Causey. Location: Budds Creek.
Bought from Christopher Thomas
Witnessed by: Thomas Swift & Thomas Chance
Bought for $150 - 44 acres of land in Montgomery Co. TNon the South side of Cumberland River and on the head branches of Budds creek.
Thomas and his wife and several of their 15 children moved to Fayette Co. IL circa 1838-40. My direct line was William Powell and wife Rhoda (Causey), dtr of Thomas.William's brother, Benjamin Powell was married to Nellie Causey, a daughter of Robert Causey. They also moved to Fayette Co. IL.Thomas and Mary/Polly Causey are buried in the Causey Cemetery in Fayette Co. IL. I have pictures of their headstones.
As I said, Baggetts, Bones and Hubbards also married with Causeys. Also it is my feeling that Malinda/Belinda Powell who married Henry Baggett in Montgomery Co. TN was a sister to William and Benjamin Powell.
It is very confusing, but you must remember that these families traveled together and often married members of their good friends' families.
Since you show that a son of Dicey was John Red Baggett and he states his father was Thomas Baggett, perhaps Dicey's maiden name was Causey and the daughter of Robert Causey. I only know of two children of Robert, Nellie who married Benjamin Powell and Isaac who married Mary Bone. I suspect there might have been a Mary Causey, dtr of Robert who was the second wife of Eaton Powell, father of William and Benjamin.
Much of what I have learned of the Causey family was found in the Library in Vandalia, Fayette, IL where they house their genealogy dept. They have copies of quarterlies called Fayette Facts where much was published on these families who came from Montgomery Co. TN to Fayette Co. IL.
