treasure that was wrested from her.

tending north to Albany and thence
to Portland. Maine. In that field lived
tho rich Royalist and Tory families.
The sudden turning OF the tide found
the Tories in possession OF great
quantity of gold coin. gold and silver
plate and Jewels. and fearing they
would lose these, they buried them
and then fled. Comparatively little Of

husband, knowing that on the home

sudden wealth which he did not ex-

Edmeston, N. Y, his personal repre-

treasure Tho property known as the
BurdicIs Farm. having been bought by
Henry F. Burdick in 1850. was the

realized what the obstruction was. By

the Edmeston ware. The law suit that
followed for possession made the case
famous. Where is the remainder OF
the treasure?
Joel Coryell. sexton at Romulus, N.

Tory estate in 1910. found n large
quantity of money in an old pot. The
grave belonged to Thomas Mann, but
Coryell kept the gold.
