Note:
I believe the Sussana Cooksey marriage never happened. Believe his first wife was Anne Posey. The will of Francis Posey of Charles co dated 23 Feb 1772 probated 23 April 1774 names Dau Anne Cartwright, witnessed by George Elgin and George Keech. The Posey name was used as a middle name in at least two of Gustavus's descendants lines. When Gustavus died his wife was a Susanna but I don't know her last name and she only refers to "my husbands son William" in her will and no other children.
