"In Hinds County...108 farmers owned no slaves...305 owned between one and nineteen slaves...179 owned ten slaves or more (more than half of the slaveowning farmers)"
Source:  John Hebron Moore The Emergence of the Cotton Kingdom in the Old Southwest:Mississippi, 1770-1860 Baton Rouge: Louisiana State  Univ. Press, 1988, pp. 140-1

Database contains the names of antebellum slaveowners or their agents during the 1850 and 1860 Federal census. Each entry is taken from the agricultural schedules and lists the number of cotton bales produced on these cotton farms and the birthplaces of the owner or overseer on the 1850 lising. Smaller farms that produced less than a dozen bales are not included.

Note: Faint census entries or questionable characters are noted with parenthesis or question marks. Number of bales always follows the  name of the entry. Abbreviations for personal estate meaning
slaves or other removable property and real estate are noted respectively by "prs" or "re" following the figure drawn from the regular population schedules of the federal census. Sometimes the figures for cotton bales produced in the previous decade are noted in parenthesis as well as probable first names or initials. Preachers are also noted. Valuations of personal or real estate are NOT included on all entries.
