Research and Discussion Forums

I ran across this while searching the forums for something entirely unrelated. After reading it, I may have had an epiphany of sorts: "At another time this Deponent was desired by the Prisoner, to come unto a husking of Corn, at her House; and she said, If he did not come, it were better that h...

Though I've been active on the forums, my application for membership has not been approved yet. I understand that John has 342308 bazillion th...
