THIS is IMPORTANT! From Alexandria, Va.; Bro. George Washington was Worshipful Master of the Alexandria, Va. Lodge & also YORK RITE FreeMason, with "rituals" of TH'ing in the 7th Degree... ROYAL ARCH MASONS. Was the Company of 11 men YR FreeMasons, looking for the Swift Silver Mine(s), with MANY allusions to Masonry and SYMBOLS of Masonry...? The LAST paragraph of page 21 is VERY "telling"; movement of the stars, moon, etc. FORMER "Sea Dogs" (Pirates, also FreeMasons)... with the NEW Enterprise of Smelting their Spanish "Goods" (GOLD, SILVER) down to counterfeit coins for the colonies; hmmm... BTW: Bro. George was ALSO a surveyor, as was Peter Jefferson... father of THOMAS JEFFERSON; THEY knew "OLD" Virginia, which was a HUGE area; check it out! Is there a BEALE TREASURE "story" CONNECTION...?
