Unfortunately, there were a number of slave owners in MS. In my research of the 1850 census in Hinds County, a Richard Bolton, 39, is listed (from GA). His wife, Lightfoot, and 5 children. He's descirbed as a Land Agent. (net worth 5k - pretty substantial for that time period) Also, there's a farmer Aaron Bolton, 40, with wife and 7 children in Jasper County census of 1850. (net worth - 1.5k) Let me know if this fits your research. I welcome any info.
