Zach's site http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-2056 was VERY helpful as indigo and rice were grown prior to 1800s when cotton simply "took-over". My Leverett ancestor grew Indigo in Lunenburg Co., Virginia in 1755 and this family was in Wilkes County, GA before the 1790s. Some were even in Lincoln County. They didn't move from Wilkes ... the county line "moved" ..... Bet they grew Indigo .... Thank you Zach Florence! Charlotte
