Please someone tell me how to find information on share croppers. My grandfather was a share cropper in Warren and Glascock County. I know the land where he share coppered, but I'm trying to find information on how long he lived there but I don't know what kind of records to research. Thank you for any suggestions.

Maybe you don't understand Sharecroppers! Share cropping is a term used for people who agreed to work on a landowners property for benefits received. Usually the sharecropper was given a place to live, use of mules, tools, equipment and advanced the seed and fertilizer to plant the upcoming year's crops. In return the landowner took a share of the crop that was raised. This was merely an agreement between the landowner and the sharecropper, no business of the government was involved thus no records kept. The entire livelihood of the sharecropper family rested in the hands of the landowner. Usually they did not even have enough food to last them until harvest time so advances were made or not made by the landowner and he eventually got to the point where he virtuallly owned the entire sharecropper family. I know this, I've been there, done that. Once in the system it was very hard to get out of it.

Census records would give you at least a 10 year parameter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margie King" <heyred@knology.net> To: <GA-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 10:25 PM Subject: Re: [GA-Roots] Share Cropers > Please someone tell me how to find information on share croppers.
