As the "Yanks" were coming up from Petersbureg, Va. CSA Prez. Jeff Davis was in church in Richmond, Va. He was handed an OFFICAL memo from CSA Gen. Robert E. Lee suggesting that ALL financial "assets" be moved to Lynchburg, Va. & points WEST... SO! "The move" began; Lynchburg, became the LAST state capital of VIRGINIA (April 7-10, 1865). MOVING day was April 6th, with the "Treasure Train" meeting up with the "Beale Treasure" Train near Farmville, Va. BTT went on to Lynchburg, Va. while the MAIN "Treasure Train" went on SOUTH to Danville, Va. The "Yanks" were heading to L'burg when Gen. Lee intercepted them at Appomattox, Va. on the 7th and Lee SURRENDERED; giving Lynchburg "folks" TWO DAYS to send the Beale Treasure/CSA Treasury for WESTERN portion of Virginia up to VMI/Lexington. TWO "missing" Treasures in ONE... BEALE TREASURE & CSA TREASURY!

R & I indicate it MAY well be ANOTHER "cover-story" for the CSA Treasury. Newton Hazlewood, who was a 1st Lt. (REB) in the CONFEDERATE WAR gave Clayton Hart sheets of papers with FIGURES on 'em alluding to a treasure near his home (Peaks of Otter "area"?), wanting copies in DUPLICATES. Gen. TT Munford (CSA) had a farm in Boonesboro, Va. "area" near NO BUSINESS Mountain, a ridge over from Fleming Mountain (aka JACKSON Mountain); Lee/Jackson Highway (Rt. 501 N) & James River are north of NBM... AND! Thomas Jefferson used to own ALL that land! SO!
