From: vernbett@cox.net(Vernon and Betty) Date: Tue, Oct 21, 2008, 10:49am Sylvia T.    Checking Caledonia Record around 1900 I do not find the name Nathaniel or Alversa Severance.         Numerous other first names.       I located the Lost Treasure article I had mentioned and it is basically the same story that Jan sent.  [1998 Annual "Lost Treasures Cache" by Lost Treasure Magazine]  Looking at it now I only found these names:   Major Rogers (Rogers Rangers), Lt Avery, and Lt George Campbell.    The writer here did give the following sources for his article that may have more information:  Patterson Gerard, "The St Francis Raid," American History Magazine, Jan 1970.      Taft, Louis A. "Profiles of Old New England," Dodd, Mead Co., 1965.    Terry, Thomas P.  "United States Treasure Atlas," Specialty Publications, 1985.   Vernon Posted by, Jan Jordan<jnrose@webtv.net>
