Here are some records. You may consider trying The Forks of the Road website updated by Ser Boxley. http://www.forksoftheroads.net http://www.forksoftheroads.net/spl_rpt/enslavement_dealers.htm If you are looking for enslaved ancestors, you may consider contacting the Natchez Historical Society and the Adams County Court House. They have records dating to the Spanish colonial rule era in during the time it was the Natchez District. Best of luck in finding what you are looking for.
