Jiles Orman, 1885 Simpson Co., MS

I am searching for any information on Jiles C. Orman who married Mary J. Sellers in June, 1885, in Simpson Co., MS.They had six children (Onie, Charles, Viola, Lela, Edward and Leon).Jiles died in 1899 and the children went into the Baptist orphanage in Jackson, MS.I've searched the census records for Simpson and Hinds Counties without finding any sign of him.There is no death record - family oral history has him dying in Georgia while on a trip.The only clue I have is his son Charles' statement in the 1920 census that his father was born in France.
