Does anyone have any information about when they began growing tobacco in Wilkes and Lincoln Co. GA? And what other crops would they have grown? The fields are very small to have been good for growing cotton that leaches out the land quickly. I am primarily interested in what they grew prior to 1810. Are there any dates in these books about the towns beginning and ending? thank you for your time. betty in ga ----- Original Message ----- From: "GAGenWeb Archives" <archives@poppet.org> To: "galinco-l" <GAlincol@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 2:28 PM Subject: [GALINCOL] Ga-Lincoln Co.
