My grandfather's family on my mother'...Tom,<br /><br />My grandfather's family on my mother's side were farmers in<br />Greensboro, from the 1830's. They began to grow cotton after the civil<br />war. When the boll weavil struck in the twenties the family lost the<br />land. According to my father, Emmet(my grandfather) sd that after the boll<br />weavil destroyed the cotton crop, there was simply "no money". My<br />grandfather eventually bought it back, in the 1950's, after he<br />returned from service in the war. Pine trees are growing there now- I<br />have been recently to visit- the land is hard- clay, very rocky.<br /><br />Best,<br />BowieBowie Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567007646230928407noreply@blogger.com
