Felt report from the Natchez Gazette from December 19, 1811, report for the December 16, 1811 earthquake refutes idea that the city had sunk during the earthquake.
Transcript
The following paragraph is copied from the Natchez Gazette of the 19th ult. it puts to rest the late report that a part of that city had been sunk by an Earthquake. "Earthquake.--A pretty strong shock of an Earthquake was felt in this city, about 2 o'clock on Monday morning last, a slighter one between day light and sun rise on the same morning, and another slight shock about noon on the next day. The probable distance from the producing cause of these shocks, gives room for entertaining fearful and melancholy apprehensions that the effects, where they have been most severely felt, have been dreadful and desolating indeed."
