Yo! ;D Researching back in Bedford County now as OTHERS are "researching" the Lynchburg, Va. "connections"... . Rt. 43 NORTH towards Peaks of Otter; Fancy Farm MAY have been "focus-point" for Brits checking out Johnson Orchard area (NOT to be confused with Johnson Farm at Peaks of Otter... THAT is ANOTHER story... HA! The Brits MUST HAVE had access to info we DON'T. ALSO, on Rt. 43 NORTH are: the community in which Harry Mack Wright & Family lived (on Rt. 682 - Woods Rd.); on pg. 77 - 78 of BEDFORD VILLAGES, LOST & FOUND # I... "On several of the deeds, a road is shown...crossing Big Otter at what is now Mack's (Harry) Wright's Place." It is a LOST ROAD!!! Later in the SAME volume is the article on "Bar" (Archibald) "BEAR" Tolley (p. 136); "Miss Bertha Pechin gave him ten acres of land on top of the mountain between Buchanan and the Peaks of Otter. There he built a log cabin, had a garden plot, a horse, cow, a few hogs, and some chickens." Ths was NORTH of Big Island, NORTH of the Peaks of Otter, NORTH of Fancy Farm. THIS was interesting... "His favored areas for hunting bear were THUNDER RIDGE, ARNOLD'S VALLEY, TEAT'S GAP, AND DEVIL'S HOPPER. Along the PEAKS OF OTTER range was HEAD FOREMOST, CAMPING GAP, WILSON AND PINEY RIDGES...,(his) cabin was near Teat's Gap in Bedford (County).... "Bar" Tolley's funeral was held at the Buchanan Baptist Church. He is buried at the Fairview Cemetery in Buchanan." NOW! IF, "Bear" (like "BucK" Wright) was a Sentinel checking on "Rebel" assets, rather than hunting bear all that time... MAYBE, "his favored areas" bear (pun intended..) looking into...

Rebel,
You sure are keeping it interesting. William "Buck" Wright was given a military funeral by his CSA comrades ------- his general attended--------he belonged to the Robert E. Lee Chapter of the Sons of the Confederacy. Here is a secret I have been keeping for a while-----------"Buck" is buried in Charlottesville, Virginia not Lowry at the Oakwood Cemetery. Enjoy rebel and check it out.
PS Did you get my personal message tonight?

Your pm should be at the top of the forum when you sign it. Does it say you have a message when you sign in?
It wasn't too important I can tell you that Lost Treasure Magazine is soon to release four of my stories in their magazine. FOUND: Lost Pedlar's cache" should be in the March edition. Three others will follow. My name may not be on some of them, but if anyone purchased my CD with the twelve stories of Treasures that I have searched for, will recognize the stories. I believe at least two of the stories will have a pen name and they will both be different. Still the stories will be recognized by those that purchased the CD's.
I also related to you how things were going with my trying to recover the Beale Treasure this year. I won't post that on the forum though. If you do not get the pm I will e-mail you. See you.

;D Forgot to add, that I found a W. T. Wright buried in Spring Hill Cemetery (in the "Log Book"/Directory); gotta go back & check THAT tomb-stone for DOB/DOD. NOT certain , it is OUR W. T. "BUCK" Wright; never found the one in Ch'ville, even tho he was "LISTED" in a "BLACK CEMETERY" (GOOD place to hide a CSA SENTINEL).

;D R & I "up-date"; according to LYNCH FERRY magazine, Fall/Winter 2000/2001, pg. 29-32... Frank James & his family lived in LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA! "(T)his man known in Lynchburg as James Warren was in fact the notorious outlaw FRANK JAMES" (p. 29). I have already seen where W. T. "BUCK" Wright was Frank James by comparing facial "pic". W. T. Wright had MANY scars, worn a Masonic Ring, and claimed membership in the COLE-YOUNGER gang of outlaws (MOSTLY ex-REBS). Frank James was a REB in Tenn., a doctor, a FreeMason, and had the FULL set of the works of W. Shakespeare. MAYBE the Baconian Code was utilized as a Code/Cipher... DUNNO. MAYBE, you can "google" THE OUTLAW FRANK JAMES HIDING IN HILL CITY by Douglas MacLead.

I am very interested in all of this stuff, I have been metal detecting for a few years, when I was first starting I found a huge sheet of lead in a creek way back in national forest, about 2 miles off logging roads in Montvale area, it was buried about a foot deep in the creek, I never looked any further after I found the sheet, I need to get back there to look under that area. sheet was about 3 foot by 2 foot.
