General Notes: Rudolph Valentine Causey reports Jonas Causey's marriage to 'Susan' Smith as February 14, 1836, which may have been the license date, the marriage following two days later.

Robin Causey's 'Descendants of Captain William Causey, Revolutionary War' shows Jonas W.'s death in 1855, but there were children born after 1855. Jonas is shown in the 1880 Census of St. Landry Ph., LA but is noted as living in Amite Co., MS in 1880.

Jonas was born 1800-1810 based upon Census data.

Jonas married Susannah SMITH [MRIN: 1102] on 16 Feb 1837 in Amite County, Mississippi. Susannah was born on 28 Jan 1816 in Amite County, Mississippi, died about 1881 in Rapides Parish, Louisiana about age 65, and was buried in Methodist Cemetery, Washington, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana.

General Notes: Her first name is alternately shown as 'Susannah' or 'Suzanne', and that she was born in FL. The Florida notation probably arises from the fact that the adjacent Louisiana 'Florida parishes' were Spanish controlled until 1810 and called the West Florida Province.
-------------------------
Marriage license recorded in Marriage Book, Vol. 2-B, page 257, Amite Co., MS Courthouse, Liberty, MS. (EFB) and (RVC) report the marriage on Feb. 14, 1836.
-------------------------
Susan was the niece of D. Tilman Toler.
A reported birth year for Susannah Smith of 1811 is inconsistent with her parents' marriage.
