For years no one has known the exact location of Fort Trial or Fort Mayo in Virginia, from the Revolutionary War period. Many have speculated, but the author takes you through the research process with the deeds, wills, and probates that deal with the land swaps and assignments to find the actual locations and the homes of the men who owned the property. He also talks about how George Washington visited the forts and helped develop the line of forts along the frontier. Along the way he finds a mystery surrounding John Marr, one of the wealthiest men in the country who died penniless. What happened to his fortune? Is there a buried treasure out there? Front cover image: Marby's Mill in Patrick Co., VA where Fort Mayo is located.

For decades researchers have tried to find the famed Beale Treasure without knowing the exact location and details of the transactions that surround it. Today that changes with the publication of all new research including: deeds, letters, bills of sale, inventories and genealogical information that relates the family who possessed it. This book will contain the genealogy of Robert Morris' Family along with his wife's Sarah Mitchell. It will also contain not only the locations of "Hunter's Hill" and "Roslin" but all the deeds, maps and aerials to confirm they are the right locations. Another chapter or two has all the deeds from the beginning of a town lot will be when and where the Washington Inn or Tavern was constructed, who built it and when, the materials constructed from was a three story brick building built in 1817 and owned for 42 years by the same individual, who leased the Washington Inn to Robert Morris and a host of others. In the Appendix at the end of the book will be the inventory sheets of two businesses ran by Robert Morris and his brother in law, William Mitchell Jr., and James Dunnington, in the town of Centreville, Virginia from 1803 to 1809. This is all new research. Nothing has been rehashed from other books. If you want the story with the 3 codes deciphered you will have to purchase my earlier book, "Lost Diary of Thomas J. Beall." This book has references from beginning to end on every page. Enjoy reading the new revelations about the Beale Treasure and best of luck in locating it!
