George and Lucy Vaughn

I already said that the pier frame does not have to have been placed there in 1770 if it was part of a older building. We have no way to know if this was an original use of it. All indications are it wasn't. Slipways built in any part of the colonial era are proof of nothing. That cove has always been used. When there is doubt one cannot come out and declare that it is one thing or another. There is no doubt in the dating of the wood. That is not the point I am making.

On the account, really? You are about to declare me a bullshitter are you? I've been at this probably longer than you have. I live in these parts and I am well aware of all sorts of references in seldom mentioned books that I have never seen documented in OI dumb ass chronicles and stories. In fact the OI study is a bit of a circle jerk among people obsessed with the minutia of searcher accounts after 1848. No one involved in it is even paying much attention to Thomas Halliburton's writings before this period. He had it all figured out before there were even searches on OI. The symbolism in the stories is that recognizable. He laughs at the local Freemasons who were behind it, but not too overtly.

There is no OI treasure mystery. That suggestion was dead before it started. The only thing there is a symbolic reference to the type of Wisdom we should cultivate, and that has nothing to do with digging holes looking for answers.
Sorry I did not intend to offend and I was not suggesting you were being untruthful. Simply saying I tend not to believe much about OI without some source data being offered.

I misunderstood your post and thought you were of the opinion the structures were built earlier. I do agree the structures could of been built later with wood harvested from that time.

Have a great day and once again I apologize if my post offended you.
