Moses Liddell

Moses Liddell (March 5, 1785 – June 13, 1856) was a 19th-century American cotton plantation owner and Mississippi state legislator from Wilkinson County, Mississippi. He grew up in South Carolina but left the Pendleton District for Natchez about 1805 when he was about 20 years old. He served three terms in the Mississippi House of Representatives in 1820, 1822, and 1823. He also served as a county court judge. His property was near that of future U.S. Senator George Poindexter.

He owned sugar plantations in St. Mary Parish with his son-in-law Francis DuBose Richardson. Emily Liddell's "dowry included $20,000 and twenty enslaved people, which likely enabled the newlyweds' move to Bayou Goula, Louisiana, in 1841." Bethia Frances Liddell married Francis DuBose Richardson; they had two children and sugar plantations near Bayou Teche
