I have looked through all of my resources and can't find any reference to rice or indigo. I think the weather could have been too cold for these crops. I am not sure. I found many references to tobacco and cotton as well as corn. The tobacco and cotton was taken to Chamberlain's Ferry, at the end of Chamberlain's Ferry Road which crossed the Savannah River between Lincoln County, Georgia and McCormick County, South Carolina. The crossing is now covered by Clark's Hill. It was floated to Augusta. I found one story about a flat boat overturning and the cotton was lost in the Savannah River.
