The Square Round Table

[L.C. BAKER]

Has anyone ever ran into a town that was named Jamestown Missouri? Not the same Jamestown Mo. as listed these days, but another one that existed in 1871 between St. Joseph and Savannah Mo. in Andrew County?

Thanks, L.C.

I have a map with Jamestown on it. I was wondering if anyone had heard any stories associated with the town and residents.

There was a Jimtown or Jamestown in North Carolina where President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet members stayed while on their flight from Richmond going South. I found the building where Trenholm and his people stayed. There is a tunnel in the basement and get this it goes down hill to the railroad as the house sits on top of a hill. My brother and I went searching around and found a large depression about a quarter mile away and the strangest thing on each end of the depression was a railroad spike with the head cut off pointing in towards the depression. On the opposite side was a brass plumbob pointing towards the depression. We could find nothing on the other side as there was a large downed tree. I never have gotten permission to dig there but I sure would like to. Good luck L.C. Baker. I do not know if this helps you any or not?

Are you talking about the one that was OFF the map by 1899?

I think that was a code used by only "some" of the K.G.C. in the early years before the war. After 1863 when they were going to jail for treason they got a little bit sneakier! Usually just a card or letter full of numbers decoded with a specific numbered document. OR...Did I miss your point completely?

Use of NUMBERS...?

Just like that crazy Bealle stuff you guys study!

If you don't already have it Lue, I believe you would enjoy this book named The Code Breakers. It is well worth the money. Julius Sterling Morton and some friends of his used to set and figure out the coded messages in the classifieds that people sent to each other in the 1880s. He was a good cryptologist just like A.P. When George Bickley was arrested in July of 1863 they found some of the old codes on him and some other records I believe. I would have to read about it again to be sure myself.

So even if I somehow find these safes, they might be empty.
According to the story, this depository was really big.

The reshuffling of the caches after the Civil War did occur to me previously.
The reason is that the story takes place after the war and
mentions that gold was taken aboard the transport ship at Tampa and Mobile in particular.

Franklin, would you like to give a short explanation to this new treasure hunter of where the K.G.C. money went, who had control of it after the war, and exactly how much of it there was? I am afraid I would only confuse them!

I am sorry L.C. Baker, that would take more space than a volume of books could contain. There were hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars in gold and silver. The money can be found among the wealthy even today. There is still hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars still buried and unrecovered. But most is still guarded by the sentinels of their heritage. Some has been forgotten about due to death of the only person of each cache that is known. The wealthy and the powerful today in industry, railroads and other commerce are the beneficiaries of most of the KGC loot.

The KGC and the freemasons were everywhere. They had connections all over the country! The KGC has 58 depositories just on the East coast.
