Susanne's mother, Janne, was born in Fort Vincennes and lived her entire life in that area. Susanne was just 11-13 years old when her mother died (age 28-30. Her mother is buried in the Old Cathedral French and Indian Cemetery located in Vincennes. Her burial site has one of the few markers that is readable.
Susanne's father, Toussaint, a merchant and trader with the Indians, was born near Montreal, Quebec, New France (now Canada).

According to Masonic records, he too, is buried in the Old Cathedral Cemetery. His grave is one of 4,000+ burials in that old and historic cemetery that are unmarked.
In 1897, 18 year old Susanne married 28 year old William Jones (1781-1819). William was born in Jefferson Co., Kentucky, which was then a part of Virginia. He was the son of Edward Jones (1743-1818) and Elizabeth Keller (1749-1811). Both of William's parents were born in Virginia and both died in/near Louisville, Jefferson Co., Kentucky.
