Hi. I checked the 1858/9/60 census index, then checked the actual 1860 slave schedule. I believe that it was mis-read. It lists William Waters & Son, owned 127 slaves. On the 1850 Rapides census; William Waters 59, La., Mahala 40, La.,children born La., except oldest listed as Ky. Children; William Jr. 28, Thomas 21, Emma 14, Harriet 11, Charles 8, Laura 6, James 4, Cornelia 2, with overseer Nathaniel Mitchell. I also found a mention of him, in an article on Rapides. His Plantation was called " Rural Retreat". Is this your Waters family? Maura Garrett
