Paragraph 17: Gold and Silver Stolen

At once I continued the said route without problems as usual. Miles distance a town have stolen Gold and Silver. I forbade northward, in contrary to the west and fail to see glorious success. Mary who has the Indians, the town(harkening?) is inhabited by numberless people(city people?rural?Mons?). The plan was declared as the town of the natives. Provinces(of the Indians) allowed as many learned that John does not know with the letters I am writing.

Mons, Va. was NEVER a town of natives; ONLY white mountain ppl...

I don't know, the word "De Concepcion" is confusing when it was linked with "Cities or towns". It is possible that the other word for cities/tows is "De Concepcion", could be a gathering of people in an area. I am not so sure about "Cities or towns de Concepcion". It might be the same as the first number "Proclamation" followed by "Speak to the people".

Proclamation = Speak
fleet = group of People
Highness = Mountain, Chief/Leader
King = Men
Queen = Women

Then..
De Concepcion = The Cities or towns?
Concepcion = Birth or Concept/plan

There are words that has different meaning, so its very confusing example.
Island = hill
Island = Treasure
Island = currency(dollars)

Anyway, it seems that Mary was living in the Harkening hill area as stated in page 3 paragraph 1. It looks like she already lived there even before she setup an ordinary.

It could be APOPHENIA, the tendency of mistakenly perceiving connections and meaning between unrelated things creating what is called a clustering illusion.

Very good observation. :icon_thumright:

I find it hard to reconstruct the paragraph because it was broken English + synonyms/hidden meaning. I tried to translate it without changing the whole grammar. It feels like it will lose the personality of the writer if I changed it too much. Like this..

Trees are found on the route led northward are rich and fertile for planting, It is where I came from. I found a government and a village towards Botetourt thinking that I could not fail the trust that the Party gave me. As I learned in my journey, to the people who are against my proceeding, to see something great is the best experience ,this is my fifth journey that I am telling you. I took the Holy spirit that God wonderfully granted through Christ. When I was born, so were my journey(as if saying that it was already set in stone/decided by God). How could someone like me become very successful(as if saying he cant believe it).

This will be a complete trash if I changed it too much.
It was already questionable, changing the grammar too much will make it sound more like me than the author.

Is the word for hidden meaning = Subliminal? I don't know how it's called.

It was/is POLLY WOOD's Ordinary... there was even MONS HOTEL over from Johnson Farm; Mons Hotel was torn down (empty field, now). Johnson Farm still stands, Harkening Hill is up on a road going from the farm; WONDERFUL "hiking loop" to Balance Rock & other "sites".
Ya GOTTA go there!

Paragraph 19: The remaining Gold

At a certain Harbor of the land I found success, the land there is elevated, the name of Harkening Hill and landmarks I explored and mastered since at the end to each one, John allowed all this. The Indians with the group give their very hearts, Quantity of pure gold I have been received I discovered given without opposition. With this given, the one third is already taken, all the remaining were still so much to please the party for a bag of gold worth a thousand dollars. I gave the Indians/Locals and Mary, someone called Elizabeth to witness so I determined not to wait there longer, to us, they had already claimed that this land was their treasure.


Note: In page 3, one third of the Gold was used to purchase the Harkening Hill by their Lord/Captain possibly James Jopling.
