Abstract:

When pioneer Moravian physicians came to the Salem community, they brought the skills they learned in the Old World with them. To this they added the healing qualities of native herbs in their cures. Many of these items, such as dental surgery equipment, brass mortar and pestle, small wooden pill bottles, and apothecary scales, may be viewed at the Moravian Museum, which is located in the old Boys' School in the heart of Old Salem.

Abstract:

Durant's Neck is a peninsula that extends into the Albemarle Sound between the Perquimans and Little rivers. George Durant, a pioneer settler, bought the lower six miles from the king of the Yeopim, a tribe of Native Americans. Purchased in 1662, it is the first piece of land for which a deed was recorded in the state. The deed is in the Hertford County Courthouse.
