Biographical History
The Nautilus Insurance Company (predecessor of the New York Life Insurance Company) was one of several insurance companies that sold policies to slaveholders to insure their slaves against damages or death. The company sold these policies for approximately two and a half years from 1845 until 1848, at which time the board of trustees voted to end the sale of such policies.
Nautilus Insurance Company was based in New York. It was succeeded by the New York Life Insurance Company. William A. Britton was an agent for the company in Natchez, Mississippi. William and his brother, Audley Clark Britton, were both bankers in Natchez; William was a partner in W. A. Britton & Co., a banking firm with interests in New Orleans, Louisiana.
