I am looking for my ggrandmother's parents: she is listed in Amite CO in the church recs....Addie Jackson, born 18 Aug 1877. She married Stephen Carey McLain, and they later settled in Bogalusa, LA. There are a lot of McLains buried in the Gloster cemetery; however, I don't know which are my ancestors...Research shows that the Causeys owned a plantation in Amite CO. and I believe the Causeys were her grandparents that raised her since she was 5 years old. The plantation stretched into LA (your county). There are a lot of Causeys shown owning property in your county. Can you find any reference to an Addie Jackson? I am trying to find out who her parents were...all I know is that her mother's name was also Addie Jackson. And, I am going on the assumption that her mother's maiden name was Causey; and therefore, Addie was raised by her maternal grandparents on the Causey Plantation. THANKS!
