said her Aunt Lila married Narcisse “Ed” Saucier and had a large family. Delila was living with her parents in the 1850 census of Marion County, Mississippi. She was listed as born in 1835 in Mississippi that year. Family descendants and Ancestory.com show Delila Cameron married Narcisse Edouard Saucier, and they lived in Saucier, Mississippi. She and her husband are buried in a small private cemetery in Saucier called the Pierre Saucier cemetery. Delila’s headstone says she was bom on May 30, 1833, and died on August 11, 1893. Some researchers show Delila was bom in Biloxi, Mississippi, but give no sources. This is clearly incorrect, for we know she was bom in Marion County as the 1850 census reflects. We also know her parents never lived in Biloxi. Additionally we find where Delila was baptized on May 7, 1879, at Annunciation Catholic Church in Kiln, Mississippi.
