Investors, Planters, & Plantation Owners Ca. 1858 
Properties Located in 
Adams Co, MS, and Concordia Parish, LA 

Adams County, MSGenWeb wishes to express it's sincere appreciation to Madge Harris for her tremendous assistance in compiling this information, and to William Metcalfe for contributing additional names. 

Although most plantation owner/investors lived in Adams County, it is probable that some lived across the river in Concordia Parish, LA.  Some owners lived on the plantation, but maintained a town home in Natchez.  No attempt has been made to identify those people.
