I know his father is deceased, but his biological mother is still alive (they have met). Teresita was his grandmother. I am extremely interested in finding out more about my heritage. I have a copy of To possess the land. I have just begun my research into my dad's biological family. I would love to learn more if any of you are willing to help. My dad was the youngest of the 3 boy's. I have no idea if anyone remembers them? He was not adopted until 9. His two siblings were adopted before him and they were kept together.

I have only read parts of the book. My mother does speak of the crystal ball. I understand that Teresita (my great grandmother) was not flippant about her use of the crystal ball or tara cards etc. but when implored she would share the 'craft' with my mother and my aunt Emma. Although after seeing the face of Benjamin Franklin in the crystal ball, upon request, my aunt Emma was said to have never returned to the house. I have done my share of research into my family background and history. I could tell you stories that would give you nightmares or chills up and down your spine. Although i do not know everything about Teresita, i could tell you things that you don't want to know or wouldn't believe. As a practitioner of Demonology & Exorcism i've come to terms with who i am and where i come from...

My mother recalls meeting Teresita on one or two occasions and recalls seeing a crystal ball covered by a black cloth. Several years ago, I came across the book entitled 'To possess the Land' after researching New Mexico family history. The book is written about Manby and Teresita's involvement in the mines.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09835346251666318159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-63733535619434698222014-03-18T15:14:50.158-07:002014-03-18T15:14:50.158-07:00Thanks for sharing what you know about this story....Thanks for sharing what you know about this story.

My ...Sorry, but this is a difficult subject for me. My family is divided as to their opinions regarding the death of the Duke, Arthur Rockford Manby. It was said and talked about much (growing up) that Manby was seen alive in England years later. I recently had lunch with my mother, Bonnie Furgason and tried to tactfully share your article since it is a sensitive subject with her. She seemed to be inspired but her shame and disgust surfaced. She said with confidence and certainty that Manby's death was faked and that he lived on. She said it in such a way as to defend this man; as if she had some kind of connection with him. The tone of her words and her insistence that Manby was not the gentleman who introduced Teresita to Back Magic. Teresita was only fifteen when she began a relationship with Manby. She had three children out of wedlock. The rumor amongst the community at that time was that the children were manby's. When she finally did go to prison the children went to an orphanage. When she got out of prison, my grandfather Columbus went back to live with Teresita.

I remember a distinct environment as my mother would take me with her to visit Teresita. I was practically born in the home of my great grandmother Teresita. I am Mark Timothy Flores Sr. the great grandson of Teresita Ferguson. It is said also that Arthur Rockford Manby was my possibly my great grandfather. I do testify that she (Teresita) was a Sorcerer and a vehicle of Witchcraft. I do testify to the absolute destructive nature of the paradigm of the occult influence that she had upon several generations. I have seen my mother (Bonnavita M. Ferguson) and several family members struggle with demonic possession and oppression as a direct result of the curse of generational witchcraft. doglord@live.com - mfdoglord@gmail.com Prophet of Demonology Mark Timothy Flores Sr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03731443831978344280noreply@blogger.com
