Susie Cochran Kittrell Douglas Jones was the child of Richard and Martha Josephine "Jo" Walley Cochran. Born on the eve of the civil war, as a child Susie undoubtedly felt the effects of the civil war all around her. She would have been almost four years old on the day of the first battle of the civil war and nine at the conclusion. Four of Susie's brothers, as well as her father, were confederate veterans. In 1863, Susie would lose her older brother Oliver, thirteen years older than her. Oliver was taken prisoner, dying later in Warwickshire, England, She married Thomas Kittrell at the young age of sixteen in 1872. Kittrell was fourteen years older than Susie, and a veteran of the war. When Susie was 19, only three years following her marraige to Kittrell, her mother would die. It is unclear whether Thomas & Susie divorced in 1879, or he died, but irregardless, Susie was left alone with three little girls, Mary Jane (5), Margaret Elizabeth(4) & Louisa (under two). Susie remarried quickly, marrying a Greene County, Mississippi farmer, Washington Scott Douglas , shortly after the absence of her first husband,Thomas Kittrell. Sadly, Susie's youngest child, little Louisa Kittrell, would suffer an untimely death at under two years old in 1880, shortly after the union of Susie and Washington in 1879. Susie and Wash, who was only one year Susie's senior, were married for twenty-three years before his untimely death in 1902. With her second husband, Susie would add four more children: Ruth, Ida, Simeon & Yancey. Douglas. Just a note, Susie's daughter Margaret Kittrell, from her first marriage would marry Simeon Douglas, the younger brother of Susie's second husband. At the age of 49, Susie would marry William Joseph Jones. Jones was a recently widowed father of twelve and wagon maker, from Wayne County, Mississippi. Less than three years after being married in 1905, William Jones would tragically be killed during a great cyclone that wreaked havoc throughout the south & particularly Mississippi, in 1908. He is buried alongside his wife in the Whitehouse Cemetery in Wayne County, Mississippi. Susie's grave has yet to be located, but I chose to believe it is in Whitehouse cemetery. Even her actual date of death is undetermined, although she appeared in the 1910 census living in Perry County, Mississippi with grandchildren Tom Henderson & Cary McClain and son Yancey Douglas. Yancey Douglas is buried in Whitehouse Cemetery, and so it's likely so is his mother Susie. Family lore speaks of Susie's strong personality and strength. She owned vast acreage in several counties and she was an outstanding business person, owning the largest herd of sheep in the state of Mississippi. I would love to know where Susie is buried, and anything more anyone knows about her.
