Based on recorded wills and original wills at the North Carolina State Archives as well as "Loose Estate Papers" of intestates, these abstracts cover not only wills but powers of attorney, bonds, inventories, bills of sale, etc. Significantly, Surry County lay within the Granville Proprietary at its formation, and after Lord Granville's death in 1763 until 1778, the Proprietary land office did not reopen, making it very difficult--but for these will abstracts--for the present-day researcher to establish the residence of many individuals during that time period. What is more, as there are no extant marriage bonds for Surry County for the period 1771 to 1780, these will abstracts assume an importance out of all proportion to their customary value.

Magic Mushrooms are making a long overdue comeback, but in most of the United States they remain illegal— at least the psilocybe mushrooms. This has been the case since 1971, when psilocybin and psilocin (the active drugs in psilocybe mushrooms) were listed as Schedule I substances. However some progress has been made, as evident in roughly half a dozen cities across the country that have decriminalized the drugs altogether. Some states, such as Oregon and California, have even legalized these drugs for supervised mental health treatment. But what if I told you that the most infamous magic mushrooms of all time remain 100% legal in nearly every state in the country? This is terrific news for psychedelic enthusiasts, but there is even more good news, these mushrooms grow wild in North America.The mushrooms I'm speaking of are Amanita muscaria, more specifically their unique and colorful varieties. The history of the Amanita muscaria genus dates back a long way, with many links even being made with this fungus and the origins of Christmas— and religion altogether for that matter. These mushrooms do not contain any psilocybin or psilocin, but instead muscimol and ibotenic acid (both being hallucinogenic and legal). Not many studies have been done involving these drugs, and most of the studies that were conducted ended abruptly, due to low funding. However I find it rather important to understand these mushrooms better, so in this book I study and document the growing environment and life cycle with clear, premium color images. I also study the effects of both; smoking the mushrooms and eating them, along with exploring the future possibilities of cultivating this mycorrhizal fungus for the very first time indoors.
Avid wild mushroom hunters search long and hard through dense forests and state parks for edible and unique fungi, and I'm proud to call myself one of these hunters. During my long journey I've identified countless different species of mushrooms, with each one being unusual in one way or another. However when I stumbled into an old graveyard in Ohio, I realized that it was a paradise of sorts for fungi growth. This was breaking news to me, but when I began to research the topic further, I realized that mushrooms growing in cemeteries was hardly breaking news— but instead more of a phenomenon. So naturally, out of curiosity, I began to instead research what was causing this phenomenon known as "graveyard mushrooms"— and the results of this study are stunning! This book is illustrated with premium color images.

In this book author Mary Jo Berscheit challenges the Roman Catholic Church with its anti-Christ stand on clerical celibacy, forbidding of birth control, insistence on private confession, papal infallibility and declaring itself to be the “one true church” – with the resultant torment for mankind. Her words describe her experiences, and those of others, weighed against the teaching of God’s Word, the Bible. Or, even more specifically, words spoken to her by the Holy Spirit as when a Catholic priest announced from the altar at Sunday Mass: “Just remember this! Nobody but Roman Catholics go to Heaven!” And the Holy Spirit said authoritatively to her: “That’s not true!”
