Myth or Reality:Moses Follensby Cache near Saranac Lake, NY

I'm heading up to the region this coming week. I've done some research and am in the process of interviewing a "special" person while up there. He may give us more answers, he's over 100 years old and an historian. Any notes, maps and ideas on where the cabin was or who Follensby is would be a bonus. Was he from Napoleon's Army or Stark's Army? Did you there is a Lake Bonaparte near by in the Adirondack's where land was owned by the famous general's brother? E-mail me or post please.

Well I interviewed an 103 year old man who happens to be an historian and he did not have additional information on Follensby. His dad might have and his dad lived till the 1940's and was born 1850. Man that alone was worth the trip. Speaking to someone who remembers as a kid the sinking of the titanic and having a dad who opted not to join the Civil War.

I believe that Follensby was a Revolutionary War soldier, not Civil War. I'm from the N.E. and looked at this one. I could not find any definitive record of any treasure. I concluded that this one is a fake.
