Did a Sawpit start the Legend?

Read it was marks.
Read it was pick marks.
Read it was platforms.
Read it was loose dirt from being a sinkhole.
All uncorroborated.

An amazing coincidence to make a sawpit directly on top of the MP, doncha know?

This Onslow information Crow unearthed - shares and stuff - hints at what we would call Articles of Incorporation. In the US that's necessary at state level to register to do business. Perhaps Canada has a similar system.
 

Of course it is uncorroborated. No way to corroborate any of that at this point either way of course.. I don't know anything about saw pits but do they typically have a "floor" put in or just the dirt at bottom of it.. My thinking has always been that their had to be some truth to the kids story in order for Onslow to be willing to come in and do their dig. If they didn't find any wood platforms at all how did the story go to convince them to join.. Surely someone would have wanted to see the hole and wood they dug up before calling around to people to join Onslow crew..

And I've not heard any where else of an oak tree nail.
Oh , I've seen nails in oak trees.
Not going to inquire for one at the hardware store.( They regard me with enough suspicion already.)

"1790-1820 ... Vaughn ... a philanderer and a man of ill repute..."
May have perpetrated a hoax on wife's relatives.
No proof of course.

More notes...
Page 2, "Suggesting another location...", #95 does a thorough bashing of A Vaughn's reputation, and makes a case as a possible executor of a hoax.
Sources "gossipy newspapers", something regarding an unpaid bill for an industrial pump " in the archives", must be for Truro.
Indirectly proves there was a hole with water in it dug by someone previously which suggests an Onslow footprint.
Good enough, Crow?
 

Most of those old posts refer back to someone cherry picking some info and then putting their own theory to it.
 

Heck that's what we all do.

Right now am working on Crow's thing, trying to ID Simeon Lynds, and find proof the Onslow Co existed, digging through old threads for sources of people's opinions. The FACTS embedded in the lengthy diatribes.

Used to be you could look up stuff on a "retired thread" and post new stuff to it. It would reactivate. Now they are look only.
 

My opinion here, but I think over the years a lot of the what I call "non Believers" took such a hard stance and everytime someone would post something they got bashed with the where's the proof, that's not written anywhere, just because it's written doesn't make it true, etc etc. They ran a lot of people off.. Got to the point you couldn't have a decent conversation about it either way..
 

Another. Same thread, #836.
Original sawyers in pit?

N2mini - don't worry too much about people who can't prove their position yeah or nay - they are just guessing.

The rest of us are looking for a clue.
 

The research into this story died years ago, as well as the threads about it. There's simply no good evidence for the OI legends, and plenty of evidence to the contrary. The current "activity" is just an ever evolving chase to legitimize what has no real bearing on any known history. It goes in a million directions trying to cast a very wide net of possibility, hoping to fish our interest.
