Britton & Co., a Natchez banking house with interests in New Orleans, Louisiana. In addition, as an agent for the Nautilus Insurance Company of New York, he issued life insurance policies on slaves. Audley and William Britton joined with George M. Koontz in 1866 in consolidating their financial interests to organized Britton & Koontz Bank in Natchez, Mississippi.[1]
