General Notes: Thomas and Martha Causey's graves may have been moved when a road was built over the Galilee Cemetery. He is listed as a member of the church but is also reported to have been buried in the Gloster Cemetery, seemingly contrary to the Baptist Recorder obituary that reported his burial at Galilee Baptist Church. The Galilee Church was at one time located near the Causey Springs Plantation on the Berwick/White Cap Road, today called the Berwick/Cassels Road. (EXHIBIT #6A-MAP)
