At the junction of Natchez Trace and Old Vicksburg Road, Robert H. Bell operated an Indian trading post. Bell lived from 1783 to 1835, and his "yellow man Vincent" was freed by Bell's will in 1835. The Bell-Vincent Scholarship at Millsaps College, endowed with funds from the sale of this land, memorializes master and slave.
