My
GGGGrandfather was Richard WILDS who was the father of Oliver Norris WILDS
who served on the Board of Supervisors beginning in 1876 and as its President
beginning in 1884. Would like to know more about Richard. Understand he
came from Manchester, England in 1834. Had the first
iron
foundry in Natchez. Died around 1866 from an accident. Where might I find
more research?
Also,
interested in information regarding the ferry boats/steamboats that my
G-Uncle Ollie WILDS, I believe, owned (Stella, Ollie K.).
I'm
also a descendant of the KOERBER family. My GGGrandmother was Barbara Regina
KOERBER who married Oliver Norris WILDS. Found information in the St. Mary's
Cathedral bulletin. Where else might I look?
My
Grandfather, Charles E. WILDS, Sr., and his brother, Oliver Newton WILDS,
both are listed on the World War I plaque in Natchez.

Looking
for descendants of my Great-Great Grandfather, Tom WARNER. The only
information I have is that he had at least 1 daughter, Carrie Warner-MORGAN
(my Great-Grandmother 1877-1970)with a slave named "Rector" (sp?) Jones.
Carrie MORGAN resided until death in Natchez, MS (Adams County) and had
7 children of her own. I'm looking for other children of Tom WARNER
and any siblings he may have had. ANY information would be greatly
appreciated.
