David, I haven't posted anything new for a while but i did have the idea that maybe the single number 1 on on the papers were a starting place or they actually meant "this is the beginning of paper number one". I think i did mention to you once that each paper could be divided into two parts, numbers above the 1 are paper number 3 and the numbers below the 1 are paper number one. I don't know if this is really possible but i did a number frequency count once on each paper and for example numbers ending in 12 on paper number 3 would be used 14 times below the 1 and only once above the 1. Then another example of something "fishy" , numbers ending in 10 would only be used 4 times on paper number 3 and then be used 27 times on paper number 2! Just a thought.

Forgot to mention. I wonder how many people when making a code with 1322 words to work with would use numbers from 1 thru 10? Not many i bet, and look how many times those numbers numbers were used, strange to me!

Yo! Rebel here: ;D I was reading about Codes the other day and found out how some were done, using DICTIONARIES! HA! The sender AND reciever has the same copy (year, etc.) of a dictionary, NUMBERING the words in the dictionaries... the numbers were used in the codes, after being TRANSCRIBED... WOW!!! wonder, if a dictionary from @ 1810's, 1815's were used (OR Civil War era dictionary for us who believe, it is a "Rebel thing"...).

Yo! Rebel here: ;D Beale, it starts at 9 am... has @ 4 seminars on how to do "family research"; LOTS of tables of family info is scheduled; and I think PV will also be there... I intend to take yer list of names from # 3, and see what I can find; today at Bedford Library... LOTS of pp doing "research"... looking around the research room to see who else was there... not a word was spoken. I did find another book there about Montvale, Va. 1991... had LOTS of historical stuff in it... VERY INTERESTING...

Yo! Rebel here: ;D Yep, Beale... wife & I were there @ 10 am for about an hour... must have just missed u... SORRY to have missed U as I had some things to show U at the Bedford Library... a good book with a FULL page about "Buck" Wright; lived alone on the county line, up in the mountains (upper Goose Creek Valley... ), was rumored to be one of the Coler (sp) Bros. of the Jesse James Gang also some info on Newton Hazlewood's daughter (I think...); as U know, there were several family histories there... the Buford's (2); a book on Pocahontas (MRS. JOHN ROLFE by John Haden (will get LATER...), and he will be at Popular Forest on Oct. 20 at 7:30 pm..., I was looking for Nelson County info. also, BUT no one was there, when I was... at least the Roanoke Library "Virginia Room" pp were there. Jones Memoral Library from Lynchburg, ALSO should have been there... they have LOTS of stuff!

Yo! me again... ;D Beale, finally remembered about "Buck" Wright; was rumored to be one of the Cole-Younger Gang members, a Younger, I think... Ransom & "Buck" looked for the Beale Treasure at one time, I think; U R correct, "Buck" was NOT Harry Wright, probably a "kin", who found the Beale Treasure and "high-tailed" it to Mexico in the 1930's... HA! Sounds like an "outlaw" cache, and Toler and Wright were just checking on it... THEN Harry found it... moved it to Mexico during the "Depression" to some Outlaw/"Rebel" Conclave in Mexico; will have to look up the name of the "Conclave"... BTW, I think the KGC became the KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN EAGLE, hence, "American Knights", DUNNO...

Beale, Your solution may be the best anybody ever comes up with so don't by any means think anybody is stepping on your toes with all these other ideas. When i first got into this i remember reading about a Chicago contractor that had broken the code but i don't remember his solution if it was ever printed. Anyway i ran upon a magazine at a treasure hunt over the weekend you will find of interest. I will try and get it in the mail next week. I'll use the address that you used in one of your latest post.

Yo! Rebel here: ;D Source of Harry Wright's $$$$$? Well, I think that he and his siblings visited "Uncle Buck" up in the mountains of Upper Goose Creek Valley, and he told them various "tales", BUT showed Harry where the Cache (AKA "Super"... ;D ) was; Later ine the 30's when EVERYONE had NO $$... Harry (by now married and had "kids"...) got some of the "good stuff", went to MEXICO... got MORE $$$$$ by owning a metal business, "La Consolida S.A." which he later sold to Shields & Company; all this is in Peter's book, THE BEALE TREASURE: NEW HISTORY OF A MYSTERY, pg. 185 - 186...
