The 1860 Census should have Artimissa E. Elsey. Probably called Elizabeth based on later census records.

The Elzey family appears in the 1850 Census for Lumpkin County (one of Dawson County’s predecessors) in the Robinson District:

Elzey, Thomas, 34, $80 Real Estate, Cannot Read
       Arta, 26, Wife
       Thomas, 6, Male
       Nancy, 3, Female
       Babe, 1, Male (Probably Bisha—see 1870 census transcription)
       Blackburn, Nancy, 45, Female (relative? Mother-in-law?)

In the 1870 Census, the family is in the Purdy’s District in Dawson County (all born in Georgia):

Elzey, Thomas, 56 (ca. 1814), Farmer, $100 Real Property, $150 Personal Property
       Elizabeth, 45 (ca. 1815), Keeping House, Cannot write
       Nancy A., 22 (ca. 1848), Farm Laborer
       Bisha W., 21 (ca. 1849), Farm Laborer
       Mary (Polly) R., 18 (ca. 1852), Farm Laborer, Cannot write
       Eliza J., 12 (ca. 1858), Idiotic
       Louisa, 2 (ca. 1868)

In the 1880 Census, the family is listed in three households in the Purdy’s District of Dawson County:

Elzey, Thomas, 55 (probably should be 65)
       Matilda, 40
       Marshal, 9, grandson

Elzey, Polly, 24, Keeping House
       Louisa, 12, daughter (this is probably sister)
       Ellen, 6, daughter
       Johnson, 4, daughter
       Unnamed, 1, son

Elzey, Bisha, 36, Farmer
       Mary, 16, Wife, Keeping House

Dawson County Marriages:
Thomas Elzey to Sarah Chuml(e)y 11-6-1892
Enock (Enoch) Elzey to Minna Kelley 7-21-1900

This is all that I have been able to locate on the Elsey/Elzey family in our library.
