Query Text:

Surnames: Coursey,Coursy, Corsey, Coursy,Mott,Motte I am seeking information on the Coursey/Mott families that lived in Clarke Co. Alabama and migrated to Texas about 1833-1835. Taxable Property of Clarke County for the Year 1813 MOTT, Joseph MOTT, William MOTT,, Jonah 1816 Clark County, Mississippi Territory Census Mott, Jonas - 1,4,1,1 Mott, Joseph - 3,2,1,3 Mott, Loveless - 1,2,1,2 Mott, William - 1,1,2,1 & 8 slaves Joseph Mott b. 3-11-1774 SC d. 12-15-1849 Tyler Co., Tx m. Zelpha Wiggins b. 10-16-1777 SC d. 12-29-1851 Tyler Co., Tx Children: Parthinia Mott b.1802 m. James Coursey (there are several variations of the spelling for Parthinia and also for the Coursey surname) Joseph George Mott b. 1806 m. Eliza Fulton Parmelia Mott b. 1811 m. Silas Shirley Caroline Mott b. 1813 Benjamin F. Mott b. 1815 m. Caroline Watts Helen Mott b. 1818 m. Oliver Delano Amanda Mott b. 1820 m. William Sturrock Oliver Mott b. 1823 I think all of the children, except Parthinia b. Georgia, were born in Clarke Co., Alabama-maybe around Thomasville. Before immigrating to Texas, however, Joseph had been a County Tax Collector of Clark County, Alabama (1817-1819): County Road Commissioner, Clark County, Alabama (1819-1821): Overseer of Roads, Clark County, Alabama (1821): and a Counter Coroner in Alabama. This information was shared with me by another researcher, I would like to find documentation to verify this data. Marriage Record Transcribed James Corsey September the 4th Parthaena Mott 1817 The parties being of age Licens was granted by taking Bond and Security certificate Mississippi Territory I do hereby certify Clarke County that I have Solemnized the Rights of Matrimony between James Corsey and Partheney Mott at the house of Isaiah Wilson on the 4th day of September 1817 Rev Robinson Recorded the 4th Day of September 1817 The Alabama Legislature The House Journals, Senate Journals and Acts AN ACT, to divorce Parthenia Coursey from her husband James Coursey. SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Alabama in General Assembly convened, That in conformity with the decree of the circuit court of Clark County exercising chancery Jurisdiction pronounced and entered at the October Term one thousand eight-hundred and twenty-seven the bonds of matrimony heretofore solemnized and subsisting between Parthenia Coursey and her husband James Coursey, be, and the same are hereby annulled and made void; and that the said Parthenia Coursey be henceforth divorced from the said James Coursey. I descend from Parthinia Mott m. James Coursey. They had one child - Valentine (Valtinas A.) Austin Coursey b. 1818 in Clarke Co., Alabama. 1835 Joseph Motte & family, Parthene Motte & Valentine Coursey were shown on the Bevil District Census. I can not find census records on Parthenia Mott Coursey or the other Motts that moved to Llano Co. for 1870, so I do not know where they were in 1870, prior to that they were shown on the Tyler Co., Texas census. At this point, I have very little on the Coursey/Mott lineage and would appreciate any information/documentation on Parthinia, her parents, siblings, etc. that anyone will share with me. Information regarding James Coursey is extremely difficult to find. I have nothing on his parents, siblings, etc. and do not know what happened to him after Parthenia divorced him. I do not know where most of them are buried and would like to find the names of the cemeteries. I would also like to know if anyone knows where I might be able to obtain documentation on the reason for Parthenia and James Coursey's divorce. It is not shown in the Acts granting and reviewing the divorce. I have spent years researching the theory that Parthenia was the child of Honour Cherry and Joaquin Fernandez de Rumayor. I can find absolutely no documentation to support this theory other than undocumented information from Cherry researchers. No offense is meant to anyone. Please email me at <jimair@pelicancoast.net> if anyone has any information regarding this line that you will share with me. Thanking you in advance for your assistance.
