Thank you for the thought. I've not considered that possibility as records and family
knowledge prove that my GG Grandmother, Martha Causey, was the mother of my Great
Grandmother, Mary Jane (Causey) Sims.
1870 census, P.O. Lineville, Clay Co., AL.
Jeremiah P. Sims, age 23, b. AL. - head of household
Mary Sims, age 20, b. AL. - wife.
Martha Causey, age 35, b. GA. - mother-in-law to head of household.

Note: Marriage records for Clay County, Alabama show that Martha Causey married James
Pleasant Lovvorn on 15 Nov. 1880. She, Martha Causey, was the 4th wife of James Pleasant
Lovvorn. They were likely married in the old Mt. Olive Baptist Church that once was near
Delta, Clay Co., AL. James and probably his 3rd wife are likely buried in that old
cemetery with only field stones for markers. That old church, no longer standing, and
cemetery were on the farm acreage owned back then by my GG Grandparents, Clayborn Sims and
wife Susannah Waldrop. They and all of their children were charter members of the old Mt.
Olive Baptist Church as recorded in the early minutes of the church.
