While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Adshusheer. A tribe associated with the
Eno
and
Shakori in North Carolina in 1701. Mooney (Bull. 22, B. A. E., 1894)
says: " It is doubtful if they, at least the Eno and Shoccoree, were of
Siouan
stock, as they seem to have differed in physique and habit from their neighbors;
but as nothing is left of their language, and as their alliances were all with
Siouan tribes, they can not well be discriminated." There is but a single
mention of the Adshusheer. Lawson (1701) tells of "the Shoccorie Indians, mixed
with the Enoe and those of the nation of the Adshusheer, ruled by Enoe Will, a
Shocorrie," the latter residing at Adshusheer, 14 m. from Achonechy, and ruling
as far w. as Haw, or Reatkin, r. (Hist. Carolina, 96, 97, 1860). The
village of the 3 tribes was called Adshusheer, which Mooney locates near the
present town of Hillsboro, Durham co., N. C. Nothing is known of their
subsequent history. The Adshusheer were probably absorbed by one of the tribes
with which they were associated, (C. T.)
