The Female Charitable Society of Natchez, Mississippi, was formed in 1816 by 74 women
through donations and subscriptions “to give instruction to poor children” with any
surplus to be “applied to the relief of orphan children and poor widows.” Their
Natchez Academy opened with 10 children, a teacher, and a matron for the orphans
boarding with local families. In 1823, a building to house the orphans was finished
and later came to be called the Protestant Orphan Asylum of Natchez. Later still,
the name was changed to Natchez Children's Home.
