Some time in 1850 on John and Mollie Hoover's plantation between
Savannah and Charleston near the Georgia line.
2. If you were born on a plantation or farm, what sort of farming
section was it in?
They raised rice, corn wheat, and lots of cotton, raised everything they
et--vegetables, taters and all that.
3. How did you pass the time as a child? What sort of chores did you do
and what did you play?
I had to thin cotton in the fields and mind the flies at the table. I
chased them with a fly bush, sometimes a limb from a tree and sometimes
wid a fancy bush.
