Notes:

1855 aged 3 living with Keziah and John Burditt

1860 aged 8 living with John and Keziah in South Reading

1865 aged 13 living with the Jerome Davis family in Saugus,MA (may be some relation to her mother)

1870 living with Keziah and Warren Burditt in Wakefield.

1880 living with her 'cousin' Rosella Slocumb, also living there is her mother Keziah Burdett in Wakefield.

1900 census shows having one child, one living, and widowed, in Malden.
I don't find any record of a marriage of Susan and she goes by her madian name - her son George born in 1870 - was only 4 months old in the 1870 census and she was living with her mother (her father, much older than her mother had died a year prior). Her death certificate states her mother and Keziah Ramsdell, father is John Ramsdell and husband was John Burditt. The informant, Annie M. Burditt has this in error - her mother was clearly Keziah Ramsdells, wife of John Burditt. Birth record of Lynn,MA proves this. In most census records she stated she was widowed or single even though she never married Albert Jones (at least there is no legal record of it).

Family/Spouse: Albert Jones. Albert was born in Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Birth record in Wakefield state he was illegitimate and that his father was Albert Jones (colored), a farmer, born in Virginia.
