==Biography==
Susannah Mushatt was born as Susie Mushatt to Callie Mushatt and his wife Mary Mushatt on July 6, 1899, in Lowndes County, Alabama.〔〔 She was the third oldest of 11 children. Her parents were African American sharecroppers who farmed the same land as her grandparents (one an ex-slave). According to her family, she also has some Native American ancestry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World's Oldest Person Susannah Mushatt Jones Celebrates 116th Birthday in Brooklyn )〕 As a young woman, she worked in the fields, and was determined to escape that hard existence.〔 On March 4, 1922, she graduated from the Calhoun Boarding High School and the graduation roster recognized her for studying "Negro Music in France".〔 After graduation, she wanted to become a teacher〔 and was accepted to Tuskegee Institute's Teacher's Program. Her parents could not afford tuition, so in 1923, she moved to New York during the early stages of the Harlem Renaissance.〔
In 1928, she married Henry Jones. She divorced him in 1933, saying in 2011 that she "didn't know what became of him," and she had no children. She worked for wealthy families taking care of their children for $7 a week.〔 During this time, she supported many of her relatives as they moved to New York.〔〔 She also used some of her salary to establish The Calhoun Club, which was a college scholarship fund for African American students at her high school.〔 She was also active in her neighborhood for almost 30 years, participating in the "tenant patrol team".〔〔 In 1965, she retired and lived with her niece, Lavilla Watson, and helped care for Watson's baby son.〔
She resides at the Vandalia Senior Center in East New York, Brooklyn〔 and has more than 100 nieces and nephews.〔
