Abstract:

For fifty years, pilot and Rev. L. D. Hayman has kept both his pilot and ministry licenses. Possibly the only ordained minister in North Carolina who also runs a professional sport-fishing guide business, Hayman recently put his fishing cruiser up for sale. Although no longer a professional, Hayman will continue to keep his pilot license up, and enjoys fishing for mullet recreationally.

Abstract:

As the American Revolution drew near, the Moravians were in an impossible position, refusing to take an oath of allegiance and bear arms. Further problems arose from the Moravians' reluctance to accept paper currency, an offense that would make them enemies of the state. Tensions eased with the editing of the oath of allegiance, allowing Moravians to make an affirmation of their loyalty.
