Biographical material supplied by Jack Temple Kirby, August 4, 1981; 14 account books, ledgers received and paid out, reveal a diversified and successful agricultural operation using one tenant and a number of sharecroppers, mainly on "Hamilton place." Cotton was the principal cash crop, but he and his tenants grew and sold hay, oats, corn, and garden-truck crops. His principal tenants/share croppers were W.A. Miller and the Belton, Benton and Brown families. Personal expenses for members of his family and cash advances to his tenants are also in these records.
