One question: If any of you have old wills, letters, or inventories prior to 1810 that speak or list any type of crop, would you please post that crop to the list? If anyone out there has ANY information about what crops they grew in Lincoln Co. prior to 1810, I would appreciate you posting this info to this list. It would probably be in a will or some type of business inventory or letter. I have not been able to find anything definitive about the type of crops they grew, especially over on the Savannah River. If you have not been to Lincoln County, the branches are very close to each other which makes the fields closer to each other and also smaller than the fields further west where they grew a lot of cotton. Yes, they grow cotton in the Mississippi delta but they lose them some years, like in 2009, if there is too much rain. And those fields are much larger than in Lincoln. In the past two hundred years it is likely that the water table has dropped therefore more of those small fields could have been used to grow sugar cane. And that is another reason I do not believe they grew that much cotton-cotton does not like a lot of moisture. One would assume they grew a lot of tobacco but tobacco fields do not need to be too moist either. Indigo and rice were grown further south down the river but the flat land there could be easily controlled with dykes(not the correct term) necessary for the cultivation of rice. I know nothing about growing hemp which might be another possibility.This part of Lincoln is now under water because of the damn they built on the Savannah River. Thank you for your time.

Betty, were any cemeteries flooded with the Savannah River was damed? The reason I ask is that I've been trying to find the burial location of Millington S. Musgrove and his wife, Fetney Louisa Wheat Musgrove in Lincoln Co. without success. They were Methodist. She died in 1894 and he already was deceased by that time. Monya Fayette Co.
